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 used to refer to the principle graphic output of OnePager from project view to chart. We did this because the great majority of our customers use OnePager to produce what they call charts and rarely us the term project view when referencing the output products of OnePager in their 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:
User Interface Upgrade
Overview
1) The User Interface Upgrade is our approach to giving OnePager products a more up-to-date look and feel consistent with the latest versions of the Microsoft Office and other Project Scheduling software products interfacing with OnePager.
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 are modernized to be consistent through out our product line and to make sub-control groups easier to identify. Additionally, other sub-forms were simplified to achieve the same goals.

The Smart Task/Milestone Text Labeling - Text Label Collision Avoidance Feature
About The Smart Task/Milestone Text Labeling Feature
1) Previous versions of OnePager Pro and Express required you to re-position text labels in the chart when various editing actions caused text labels to collide. That is, when the text labels overlay a task shape or other task labels and become difficult to read in the chart.
2) In such cases, you need to select the task shape, go to the Home tool tab's Position control group, and select a new text label position from those available in that control group. Often, it required several selections and perhaps the creation of a text label in a comment box and a few drag and drop actions before the text labels became more readable.
3) With OnePager 7.0 you now have the capability to use the Smart Task/Milestone Text Labeling feature that recognizes these text label collision situations during updates of the chart and automatically attempts to take the task shape text labels involved out of collision.
- a) Implementation of this new feature comes with two additional text label position options: Best fit above/below and Best fit all directions.
- b) Also provided are a set of controls that give you options for establishing the priorities with which the text label collision avoidance algorithm, as we call it, employs the feature for you.
- c) Finally, there is a new command provided in the right-click context menu for task shapes that you can use to perform the text label collision avoidance algorithm sort of manually on selected task shapes that are involved in a text label collision situation.
4) As part of the Smart Task/Milestone Text Labeling feature's implementation, and in conjunction with the Task/Milestone Text Sub-Shape Selection Capability also introduced in OnePager 7.0 we changed the task shape and text label manual left-click and right-click selection rules as follows:
Left-Click Selection Rules
- a) To select a task shape in OnePager 7.0 you left-click the task shape itself.
- b) To select the task shape's text label you left-click the text label only.
Right-Click Selection Rules
- c) A right-click on a task shape accesses a context menu with commands that are just associated with edits to the task shape itself.
- d) A right-click on a text label accesses a specific context menu' tailored with commands that are for edits to the text label.
- e) When a set of task shapes and their associated text labels are in a text label collision situation, a right-click on the tasks shape accesses the context menu augmented with a command to invoke the text label collision avoidance algorithm.
