==What Is Unlimited Field Mapping?==
+
==About the Time Axis Tab==
  
The '''Unlimited Field Mapping''' feature lets you use a '''source  plan field''' that is not already available to you in the '''Chart Editor'''. The feature allows you to avoid going back to the '''Template Properties''' form to map additional fields for the specific purposes you need without having to recreate a new chart.  Hav1ng to recreate a new chart is cumbersome and inefficient, especially if you already invested time '''editing''' the original chart before you realized that you needed another '''source plan''' field.
+
In OnePager Pro all the '''Time Axis '''controls are consolidated into a new '''Chart Properties '''form tab called the '''Time Axis '''tab.   The '''Chart Properties '''form’s '''Time Axis '''tab is almost identical to the same tab on the '''Template Properties''' form so the '''Chart Properties '''form’s '''Time Axis '''tab and its five (5) sub-tabs are used here for the illustrations and examples that follow.
  
The '''Unlimited Field Mapping''' ('''UFM''') feature is a vastly more efficient way to bring additional '''source plan''' fields into the '''Chart Editor''' after you've created and '''edited''' your chartPreviously, OnePager only had access to Microsoft Excel '''source plan fields''' that were specifically '''mentioned''' in the OnePager '''Template Properties''' form.  With '''UFM''', the '''Chart Editor''' can access all '''source plan fields'''.  
+
The '''Time Axis''' tab is organized into five (5) sub-tabs that are described in the sub-sections that follow.  Each sub-tab has its own control groups and sub-control groupsHowever, for the '''Top Level''', '''Middle Level''', and '''Bottom Level''' sub-tabs these control groups and sub-control groups are essentially the same.
  
'''Field Mapping''' is defined as the '''use''' of a '''source plan''' field for a particular OnePager '''purpose'''.  There are more than twenty-five (25) OnePager '''purposes''' from '''Baseline Finish Date''' to '''Unique task bar/milestone symbol identifier'''.  You can easily refer back to your '''source plan''' and access changed '''fields''' from the '''Chart Editor'''.
+
The '''Format''' sub-tab contains several new features dealing with: (1) '''Day of the Week curtains''', (2) '''Non-Working Time Curtains''', (3) '''Defining Working and Non-Working Hours''', and (4) '''A Grid for Managing Curtains and Timespans'''.
  
For example, you can populate a '''Text field''' in Microsoft Excel and then use that '''field''' to present data in an '''Text Column''' after the chart is first created. Further, OnePager Express gives you a more efficient way to change the '''field mapping''' for seven (7) of the most frequently used OnePager Pro '''presentation purposes'''.   For OnePager Pro there are eight (8) such purposes because it omits display of critical path information.

==Using the Chart Properties Form’s Time Axis Tab==
  
==The Field Mapping Tab==
+
In the following sub-sections contain illustrations showing the five (5) sub-tab for the '''Chart Properties''' form’s '''Time Axis '''tab:
  
The name of the new tab is the '''Field Mappings''' tab.  Since the '''Unlimited Field Mapping''' feature allows you to access '''all fields''' from Microsoft Excel '''source plans''' at any time in the life cycle of a chart, the '''Field Mappings '''tab no longer needs to map fields to '''extra purposes''' that are just carried along in case you need them.
+
===Calendar Sub-Tab===
  
The '''Field Mapping''' tab focuses on common OnePager purposes that users can map to Microsoft Excel fields after a chart is created.  Note, however, that other important OnePager purposes are on  '''Rows/Swimlanes''', '''Task Bars, and Milestones''' tabs.  Some purposes such as '''Task Name, Percent-Complete, and Critical Path '''appear both on the '''Field Mapping''' tab and on the '''Task Bars''' and '''Milestones''' tabs.  For OnePager Express there are seven (7) purposes named in the '''Field Mappings''' tab: (1) '''Percent-complete''', (2) '''Task-name''', (3) '''Start date''', (4) '''Finish date''', (5) '''Baseline start date''', (6) '''Baseline finish date''', (7) '''Deadline date'''.
+
The '''Calendar Sub-Tab''' looks like this:
  
The '''Field Mappings''' tab for the '''Chart Properties''' form is shown below:

===Top, Middle, and Bottom Level Sub-Tabs===
<!--<center>X70-21_15_1-70-(1)-10232020.png</center>-->
+
  
For more information on the '''Unlimited Column Mapping''' feature, please see the article at: [[Unlimited Field Mapping for OnePager 7.0 | Unlimited Field Mapping]] <!--7.19.1-70-->
+
The '''Middle Level Sub-Tab''', which is typical of the three such sub-tabs, looks like this:
  
===Special Considerations for the Task/Milestone Identity Mapping Feature===
+
<center>[[File:P70-21_17_1-70-(2)-10242020.png]]</center>
 +
<!--<center>P70-21_17_1-70-(2)-10242020.png</center>-->
  
The '''Field Mappings''' tab shows the Microsoft Excel '''field''' currently being used for the '''Task/Milestone Identity Mapping''' feature.  In the '''Chart Properties''' form, the '''Task/Milestone Identity Mapping''' is '''disabled''' but tells you which Microsoft Excel '''field''' is being used.  The '''Task/Milestone Identity Mapping''' field being used is specified in the '''Template Properties''' form to act as an alternate '''Unique ID''' field for OnePager Express '''UPDATE''' operations.    You can change it to whatever field you want, but it is your responsibility to make sure that the chosen field has a '''unique value''' for each task you plan to '''import''' and display in OnePager.    Having duplicate values in the '''Unique ID''' field causes task bars to be '''omitted''' and/or '''misidentified''' later on when you are doing '''updates''' of the chart.
+
===Format Sub-Tab===
  
===Special Considerations for the Field Splitting Feature===
+
The '''Format Sub-Tab''' looks like this:
  
OnePager Express continues to support '''Field Splitting''' with the control on the '''Field Mappings''' tab in the '''Template Properties''' form and '''Chart Properties''' forms.   '''Field Splitting''' can be performed on any '''source plan string type''' field with '''comma-separated''' components imported before the chart is created.  It cannot be changed once a chart is '''created''', though its value is shown in the '''Chart Properties''' form to remind you of the '''splitting''' that is active in the chart.

==Field Mappings==
+
For more information on '''editing''' with the '''Chart Properties '''form’s '''Time Axis '''tab and sub-tabs, please see the article at:  [[Editing Time Axes with the Chart Properties Form for OnePager Pro for Version 7.0 | Editing Time Axes with the Chart Properties Form for OnePager Pro]] <!--22.4.1-70-->
  
There are four (4) controls groups found on the '''Field Mappings''' tab.
+
In this article, in the sub-sections that follow, are Wiki links to the detailed articles that discuss the various '''Sub-Tabs''' in the '''Chart Properties''' form's '''Time Axis''' tab in the order shown above.
  
===Basic Mappings===
+
Please use these links to connect to the details of the '''Time Axis''' controls available in the '''Chart Properties''' form.
  
Within the  '''Basic Mappings''' control group there are three (3) '''basic columns''' already established that can be remapped.  You can use any Microsoft Excel field of the '''appropriate type''' corresponding to the '''Basic Mapping''' field named for the dropdown. 
+
==Calendar Sub-Tab==
  
The dropdown list for the '''Task label''' field is shown in the example below:  
+
There are three (3) control groups located in the '''Calendar Sub-Tab''' as shown here:
  
<center>[[File:X70-21_15_1-70-(2)-10232020.png]]</center>
+
<center>[[File:P70-21_17_1-70-(4)-10242020.png]]</center>
<!--<center>X70-21_15_1-70-(2)-10232020.png</center>-->
+
<!--<center>P70-21_17_1-70-(4)-10242020.png</center>-->
  
Selecting a different Microsoft Excel field from the dropdown list tells OnePager to go back to the Microsoft Excel '''source plan''', retrieve the data for that field, and use that data for the purpose of the chart.  This re-acquisition of Microsoft Excel '''source plan data''' is done when you click '''Apply''' on the '''Chart Properties''' form which keeps the '''Chart Properties''' form visible or when you click '''OK''' which closes the '''Chart Properties''' form.  The current chart is '''updated''' accordingly in the '''Chart Editor'''.  The process for the other '''Basic Mapping''' fields for '''Critical-path segments''' and '''Task labels''' is the same as shown above for '''Percent complete'''.
+
Reference links are provided to these control groups and their controls options below.
  
===Date Mappings===
+
===Date Boundaries Control Group===
  
There are five (5) '''Date Mappings''' purposes in this control group that are available to be remapped.   You can use any Microsoft Excel '''date''' field that can be accessed in the individual dropdown lists as shown in the example below:
+
The '''Date Boundaries''' control group provides controls for setting the extent of the chart (i.e., '''Start/Finish Dates''') and how OnePager Pro can adjust these dates '''automatically''' or under your specific control.
  
<center>[[File:X70-21_15_1-70-(3)-10232020.png]]</center>
+
For more information on the controls related to '''Setting Start/Finish Boundary Dates''', please see this section in the article at:  [[Showing Different Time Units of Time for OnePager Pro for Version 7.0#Editing the Chart’s Start/Finish Date Boundaries | Showing Different Units of Time for OnePager Pro - Editing the Chart’s Start/Finish Date Boundaries]] <!-- 22.1.1-70-->  
<!--<center>X70-21_15_1-70-(3)-10232020.png</center>-->
+
  
As with the selections in the '''Basic Mappings''' control group, selecting a different Microsoft Excel field from the dropdown list tells OnePager to go back to the Microsoft Excel '''source plan''', retrieve the data for that field, and use that data for the designated the OnePager Express purpose in the chart.  This re-acquisition of Microsoft Excel '''source plan data''' is done when you click '''Apply''' on the '''Chart Properties''' form which keeps the '''Chart Properties''' form visible or when you click '''OK''' which closes the '''Chart Properties''' form.   The current chart is '''updated''' accordingly in the '''Chart Editor'''.
+
For more information on the controls related to '''Automatically Adjusting the Timeline''', please see this section in the article at:  [[Changing the Chart’s Start/Finish Dates for OnePager Pro for Version 7.0#Auto-Adjust Timeline Options | Changing the Chart’s Start/Finish Dates for OnePager Pro - Auto-Adjust Timeline Options]] <!--22.3.1-70-->
  
==Task/Milestone Identity Mapping==
+
===Calendar Settings Control Group===
  
===Task/Milestone Identity Mapping for OnePager Express Add-in and Desktop===
+
The '''Calendar Settings''' control group has the controls for setting  up '''Fiscal Year''' representations and establishing '''Time Axis Labels''' that are '''Count Up''' and '''Count Down''' types.
  
In the '''Chart Properties''' form, this control group is  informational.  The control group is '''disabled''' in the '''Chart Properties''' form but the '''Unique Id''' window shows the setting previously or currently set in the '''Template Properties''' form’s '''Field Mappings''' tab. As such, the window is for information purposes only and cannot be changed.
+

<center>[[File:X70-21_15_1-70-(4)-10232020.png]]</center>
+
===Format & Layout Control Group===
<!--<center>X70-21_15_1-70-(4)-10232020.png</center>-->
+
  
The '''Unique Id''' field shows the Microsoft Excel field that OnePager Express used when it first '''created''' the chart.  This feature is provided to assist '''advanced''' OnePager Express users '''update''' charts that were '''created''' from '''source plans''' where portions of one Microsoft Excel '''source plan''' were copied into another.    When OnePager '''updates''' a chart, it needs to identify each task and milestone that is being '''imported''' and find out if it already exists in chart.  This is how OnePager preserves the formatting of the task bars/milestone symbols and places them in the same row/swimlane where they resided before the '''update'''.
+
The '''Format & Layout''' control group has three (3) separate controls.  
  
When the data in the '''source plan'''  are a '''.xls file''', OnePager has traditionally used the Microsoft Excel '''Task ID''' field inserted by the user for this purpose.  You can control what values of '''Task ID''' appear in the '''.xls file''' when you copy data into that file.  As a result, '''.xls files''' that had data copied into them can have problems preserving OnePager Excel's formatting and row/swimlane positioning.  To solve this problem, OnePager Express lets you define and use a substitute Microsoft Excel field as an alternative '''Unique ID''' for uniquely identifying tasks.  You are then responsible for guaranteeing that these field values are preserved when data is copied from one '''.xls file''' to another.  You are also responsible for making sure that there are '''no duplicate values''' in the field designated for his alternative '''Task ID''' usage.
+
:1) For telling OnePager Pro to repeat the '''Time Axis''' on all '''output media pages'''.
  
The alternate '''Task ID''' can be set in one of two places:
+
:2) For providing access to the '''Custom Date Format Feature'''.
  
:1) In the '''Template Properties''' form's '''Field Mappings''' tab and
+
:3) For telling OnePager Pro where on the chart the you would like to locate the '''Time Axis''' either at the '''Top'''. '''Bottom'''. or both '''Top and Bottom''' of the '''graph'''.
  
:2) In the '''OnePager Choices''' form's second page by clicking the '''Edit current template...''' button.
+
The references that follow are links to additional information on the the controls discussed in the '''Format & Layout''' control group:
  
We strongly recommend that you set the alternate '''Task ID''' in the '''Template Properties''' form rather than with the '''OnePager Choices''' form because this ensures that all charts use a consistent alternative '''Task ID''' field.

About the Time Axis Tab

In OnePager Pro all the Time Axis controls are consolidated into a new Chart Properties form tab called the Time Axis tab. The Chart Properties form’s Time Axis tab is almost identical to the same tab on the Template Properties form so the Chart Properties form’s Time Axis tab and its five (5) sub-tabs are used here for the illustrations and examples that follow.

The Time Axis tab is organized into five (5) sub-tabs that are described in the sub-sections that follow. Each sub-tab has its own control groups and sub-control groups. However, for the Top Level, Middle Level, and Bottom Level sub-tabs these control groups and sub-control groups are essentially the same.

The Format sub-tab contains several new features dealing with: (1) Day of the Week curtains, (2) Non-Working Time Curtains, (3) Defining Working and Non-Working Hours, and (4) A Grid for Managing Curtains and Timespans.

For access to articles that provide detailed information on the management of time axes, please see the table of links at: Links to All Detailed Time Axis Articles

Using the Chart Properties Form’s Time Axis Tab

In the following sub-sections contain illustrations showing the five (5) sub-tab for the Chart Properties form’s Time Axis tab:

Calendar Sub-Tab

The Calendar Sub-Tab looks like this:

P70-21 17 1-70-(1)-10242020.png

Top, Middle, and Bottom Level Sub-Tabs

The Middle Level Sub-Tab, which is typical of the three such sub-tabs, looks like this:

For more information on editing with the Chart Properties form’s Time Axis tab and sub-tabs, please see the article at: Editing Time Axes with the Chart Properties Form for OnePager Pro

In this article, in the sub-sections that follow, are Wiki links to the detailed articles that discuss the various Sub-Tabs in the Chart Properties form's Time Axis tab in the order shown above.

Please use these links to connect to the details of the Time Axis controls available in the Chart Properties form.

Calendar Sub-Tab

There are three (3) control groups located in the Calendar Sub-Tab as shown here:

P70-21 17 1-70-(4)-10242020.png

Reference links are provided to these control groups and their controls options below.

Date Boundaries Control Group

The Date Boundaries control group provides controls for setting the extent of the chart (i.e., Start/Finish Dates) and how OnePager Pro can adjust these dates automatically or under your specific control.

For more information on the controls related to Setting Start/Finish Boundary Dates, please see this section in the article at: Showing Different Units of Time for OnePager Pro - Editing the Chart’s Start/Finish Date Boundaries

For more information on the controls related to Automatically Adjusting the Timeline, please see this section in the article at: Changing the Chart’s Start/Finish Dates for OnePager Pro - Auto-Adjust Timeline Options

Calendar Settings Control Group

The Calendar Settings control group has the controls for setting up Fiscal Year representations and establishing Time Axis Labels that are Count Up and Count Down types.
