#OMNIFOCUS 3 IOS EDUCATION WINDOWS#
OmniFocus and its various perspectives act as windows onto your database, interpreting the data there in ways that help you get stuff done. Database The file that OmniFocus uses to hold all of the information that you add to the app. Contextual menus appear as a black bar-with menu options specific to the object or interface element you have tapped. Where available, contextual menus appear when you long-press on a row or block of text and then release your finger. Contextual Menu Since iOS doesn’t have a menu structure similar to macOS, OmniFocus uses contextual menus to provide a method of interacting with the user interface. Tap an item’s status circle to mark it complete. Complete The status assigned to an item when you’ve finished it, or finished all the actions that comprise it (in the case of a project or group). iPhone in portrait orientation and iPad in 1/3 split screen are examples of compact views. Compact A view width that requires OmniFocus’s multi-pane design to run in a layered stack rather than with the panes side by side (contrast with wide view). Blocked status isn’t set directly to unblock an action, either change the project to another type or move the action to the top of the project. Blocked The status of an action in a sequential project that comes after the first available action. Available status is derived from an item’s defer date, project type, and project or tag status. Available An item status (and view option) that includes items that aren’t blocked, deferred, or on hold. Active status can be set on projects and tags using the inspector.
Active The status for an item that’s planned for completion, or a tag that’s currently in use.
Action Group Also referred to as a sub-project, an action group is a set of actions nested hierarchically within a parent action (which itself can be part of a project). Glossary Action An item that’s part of a project, or part of a group within a project. The OmniFocus for Apple Watch Home Screen.
