| − | + | ===About Smart Task/Milestone Text Labeling=== | |
| − | + | 1) Often task/milestone text labels overlap in cases where you have moved task shapes up or down in the '''Chart Editor''' or the text label is too long to fit in the '''allowable space'''. The purpose of implementing this feature is to give you control over how OnePager can avoid '''task/milestone text label collisions''' as we call time and automatically tidy up your presentation. | |
| − | + | 2) OnePage comes to your assistance when you '''select''' two or more task/milestone shapes where their text labels are in collision. Once you make the desired selections there is a command available that tells OnePager to '''re-optimize''' the selected task/milestone shape's text labels so they avoid the '''collision''' situation. | |
| + | |||
| + | :a) These task/milestone text label positions are either established by default in your '''Template''' form or you can change the positions of selected task/milestone shape text label using the OnePager '''tool bar''' controls or the '''Change Task/Milestone Properties''' form at the '''Task Label''' tab. | ||
| + | |||
| + | :b) OnePager has always supported your ability to place text labels with respect to their task/milestone shape '''Above''', '''Below''', '''Left''', '''Right''', '''Centered''', '''Best fit left/right''', '''Fit in task bar''', and '''In Comment Box'''. | ||
| + | |||
| + | :c) We added two additional position option for you to tell OnePager where to position task/milestone shape text labels to support this feature. These two addition position options are: | ||
| + | |||
| + | ::(1) '''Best fit above/below''' which tells OnePager to examine the possibility of positioning the text label for the task/milestone shape selected '''Above or Below''' the shape. | ||
| + | ::(2) '''Best fit all directions''' which tells OnePager to consider the possibility of positioning the text label for the selected task/milestone shape '''Above''', '''Below''', '''Left''', or '''Right''' the shape. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===Avoiding Task/Milestone Text Label Collisions=== | ||
| + | |||
| + | 3) OnePager employs a '''Smart Task/Milestone Text Label Collision Avoidance''' algorithm to perform this '''re-optimization''' under prioritities you can control. | ||
| + | |||
| + | 4) OnePager does '''NOT''' automatically attempt to '''re-optimize''' task/milestone test label positions when '''collisions''' are present. Rather, you must initiate the algorithm by first selecting the two or more task/milestone shapes involving the text label '''collisions''' and then clicking the '''Re-optimize text collisions for selected task/milestones''' command in the right-click '''context menu''' provided. | ||
| + | |||
| + | 5) The minimum conditions necessary for OnePager to apply the '''collision''' avoidance algorithm are: | ||
| + | |||
| + | :a) There must be at least two task/milestone shapes where their respective task/milestone text labels are in '''collision'''. | ||
| + | |||
| + | :b) All the task/milestone shapes involved must be capable of being selected with a left-click. In certain circumstances in OnePager 7.0 it may be difficult to select a task/milestone shape if a text label is superimposed on the shape. | ||
| + | |||
| + | :c) You must right-click on one of the selected task/milestone shapes involved in this action to get the '''context menu''' with the '''Re-optimize text collisions for selected task/milestones''' command. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===User Control over Smart Task/Milestone Text Labeling=== | ||
| + | |||
| + | 6) As mentioned above, you have control over the '''Smart Task/Milestone Text Labeling''' algorithm to some extent. | ||
| + | |||
| + | 7) To provide these controls we expanded the '''Set Label Properties''' form at the '''Task Bars''' and '''Milestones''' tabs in the new '''Chart Properties''' form as shown below: | ||
| + | |||
| + | <<Insert image of Chart Properties form with Set Label Properties form superimposed>> | ||
| + | |||
| + | :a) The '''Enable Smart Labeling for task/milestones labels''' checkbox enables or disables the feature. As a convention all '''Template''' forms provide with OnePager 7.0 have this checkbox checked '''ON'''. | ||
| + | |||
| + | :b) When enabled, the five sets of checkboxes and selection windows give you the capability to establish your own '''Smart Task/Milestone Text Labeling''' algorithm priorities. The settings shown above are the '''default''' setting provided with OnePager 7.0. | ||
| + | |||
| + | :c) The '''Re-Optimizing After Updates''' selection window provides three options for controlling how OnePager 7.0 '''re-optimizes''' after you '''updated''' the '''chart''' in some manner during '''editing''' or in creating a new '''chart''' or snapshot. These options are: | ||
| + | |||
| + | ::(1) '''Re-Optimized changed tasks''' which is the default setting and just re-optimizes those selected task/milestone text labels in collision after an '''update'''. | ||
| + | ::(2) '''Do not reoptimize''' which effectively turns '''OFF''' the feature temporarily. | ||
| + | ::(3) '''Reoptimize all tasks''' which performs the '''re-optimization''' algorithm on all task/milestones shapes in the '''chart''' whether selected or not. | ||
| + | |||
| + | 8) The '''Smart Task/Milestone Text Labeling''' algoright and controls are discussed in detail in the article referenced below and elsewhere in this Wiki. | ||

Overview
Upgrades and New Features
1) OnePager Pro (OPP) and Express (OPX) version 7.0 provides six new capabilities, features, and enhancement in the form of upgrades and new features that are summarized in this article. These upgrades and new features are:
- (1) User Interface Upgrade
- (2) The Smart Task/Milestone Text Labeling - Text Label Collision Avoidance Feature
- (3) The Multiple Swimlanes Feature
- (4) Task/Milestone Text Sub-Shape Selection Capability
- (5) Text Font Standardization
- (6) New Desktop Applications (TBD)
Other Changes for OnePager 7.0
2) In the process of producing OnePager 7.0 we responded to our customers by making changes to our terminology usage.
- a) We changed the terminology that we used to refer to our principle graphic output of OnePager from project view to chart. This was done since the great majority of our customers use OnePager to produce what they call charts and rarely us the term project view when referencing the products of OnePager in their normal schedule conversations. In this document (Wiki) the word chart replaces the term project view.
- b) To be consistent with the change to the word chart, we changed the name of the Project-View Properties (PVP) form to Chart Properties form.
- c) Finally, under this terminology change, the Project View Editor (PVE) becomes the Chart Editor everywhere in this Wiki document.
3) The subsections below provide an overview and links to more detailed descriptions of these new capabilities, features, and enhancements:
(1) User Interface Upgrade
1) The User Interface Upgrade is our approach to giving OnePager products a more up-to-date look and feel more consistent with the latest versions of the Microsoft Office products OnePager interfaces with.
2) This upgrade involves a modernization of the Chart Editor, its tool bar tabs, button icons, and dropdown menus.
3) In a similar way, all primary forms such as the Chart Properties and Template forms have their look and feel modernized to be consistent through out the product line and to make sub-control groups easier to identify. Additionally, other sub-forms were simplified to achieve the same goals.
4) The sub-sections that follow provide some visual examples of the look and feel changes made to the Chart Editor and supporting forms:
New Look to the OnePager Chart View Editor
New Look to OnePager Forms
More Information
5) Please take a moment to look at the Read More… article below which provides more information on the new OnePager User Interface upgrade with more examples.

(2) The Smart Task/Milestone Text Labeling - Text Label Collision Avoidance Feature
About Smart Task/Milestone Text Labeling
1) Often task/milestone text labels overlap in cases where you have moved task shapes up or down in the Chart Editor or the text label is too long to fit in the allowable space. The purpose of implementing this feature is to give you control over how OnePager can avoid task/milestone text label collisions as we call time and automatically tidy up your presentation.
2) OnePage comes to your assistance when you select two or more task/milestone shapes where their text labels are in collision. Once you make the desired selections there is a command available that tells OnePager to re-optimize the selected task/milestone shape's text labels so they avoid the collision situation.
- a) These task/milestone text label positions are either established by default in your Template form or you can change the positions of selected task/milestone shape text label using the OnePager tool bar controls or the Change Task/Milestone Properties form at the Task Label tab.
- b) OnePager has always supported your ability to place text labels with respect to their task/milestone shape Above, Below, Left, Right, Centered, Best fit left/right, Fit in task bar, and In Comment Box.
- c) We added two additional position option for you to tell OnePager where to position task/milestone shape text labels to support this feature. These two addition position options are:
- (1) Best fit above/below which tells OnePager to examine the possibility of positioning the text label for the task/milestone shape selected Above or Below the shape.
- (2) Best fit all directions which tells OnePager to consider the possibility of positioning the text label for the selected task/milestone shape Above, Below, Left, or Right the shape.
Avoiding Task/Milestone Text Label Collisions
3) OnePager employs a Smart Task/Milestone Text Label Collision Avoidance algorithm to perform this re-optimization under prioritities you can control.
4) OnePager does NOT automatically attempt to re-optimize task/milestone test label positions when collisions are present. Rather, you must initiate the algorithm by first selecting the two or more task/milestone shapes involving the text label collisions and then clicking the Re-optimize text collisions for selected task/milestones command in the right-click context menu provided.
5) The minimum conditions necessary for OnePager to apply the collision avoidance algorithm are:
- a) There must be at least two task/milestone shapes where their respective task/milestone text labels are in collision.
- b) All the task/milestone shapes involved must be capable of being selected with a left-click. In certain circumstances in OnePager 7.0 it may be difficult to select a task/milestone shape if a text label is superimposed on the shape.
- c) You must right-click on one of the selected task/milestone shapes involved in this action to get the context menu with the Re-optimize text collisions for selected task/milestones command.
User Control over Smart Task/Milestone Text Labeling
6) As mentioned above, you have control over the Smart Task/Milestone Text Labeling algorithm to some extent.
7) To provide these controls we expanded the Set Label Properties form at the Task Bars and Milestones tabs in the new Chart Properties form as shown below:
<<Insert image of Chart Properties form with Set Label Properties form superimposed>>
- a) The Enable Smart Labeling for task/milestones labels checkbox enables or disables the feature. As a convention all Template forms provide with OnePager 7.0 have this checkbox checked ON.
- b) When enabled, the five sets of checkboxes and selection windows give you the capability to establish your own Smart Task/Milestone Text Labeling algorithm priorities. The settings shown above are the default setting provided with OnePager 7.0.
- c) The Re-Optimizing After Updates selection window provides three options for controlling how OnePager 7.0 re-optimizes after you updated the chart in some manner during editing or in creating a new chart or snapshot. These options are:
- (1) Re-Optimized changed tasks which is the default setting and just re-optimizes those selected task/milestone text labels in collision after an update.
- (2) Do not reoptimize which effectively turns OFF the feature temporarily.
- (3) Reoptimize all tasks which performs the re-optimization algorithm on all task/milestones shapes in the chart whether selected or not.
8) The Smart Task/Milestone Text Labeling algoright and controls are discussed in detail in the article referenced below and elsewhere in this Wiki.
