#OMNIFOCUS 3 TAGS UPGRADE#

The macOS version 3 upgrade is a worthy one and IвЂ™d certainly recommend it. I was only half-heartedly thinking of switching but itвЂ™s fair to say that the release of OmniFocus 3 has killed all the thoughts I had about jumping ship. I must admit I was looking at other Project/Task/ToDo/GTD apps ahead of this upgrade, despite having used OmniFocus since February 2014. I tend to use the tags I mentioned above - people, places, priorities, contexts - and implement priorities a bit like an Eisenhower Matrix, which is where things are grouped by Urgency and Importance (and thereвЂ™s a good article about implementing an Eisenhower Matrix in OmniFocus 3 here).

Tags can be nested (as could contexts), so you can create hierarchies for things like places, people, priorities, periods, contexts and such, and then you can filter them into Perspectives to give you the exact overview you require.Д®ssentially, the multiple tags approach frees you from having to view things in just one way (the way the software designers prescribed). It gives you much more scope for searching and filtering. This may sound like a relatively minor change but it has significantly improved OmniFocus in my opinion. However, in OmniFocus 3 you can now assign multiple tags to tasks and projects. Tags kind of existed before as contexts but these were a bit limited because you could only assign a single context to a task or project. ThatвЂ™s all very nice but the big feature change is with tags.

the Today Forecast can now be reordered in any way you choose.

more filtering rules in custom perspectives,.

#OMNIFOCUS 3 TAGS UPDATE#

I reviewed OmniFocus back in August 2018 but IвЂ™ve just upgraded to OmniFocus 3 for macOS and I thought IвЂ™d write this article as an update to my previous review. My organisational needs are quite modest these days but IвЂ™ve been using OmniFocus to satisfy those needs for quite a few years now. You, rather than the software designers, can now choose how you view your projects and tasks. It allows for much greater flexibility and more finely-grained filtering. May rework it later.Replacing contexts with tags and allowing multiple tags to be assigned to tasks has transformed OmniFocus 3 for macOS. Strip the trailing marker from a tag list this is a reference need to change the item in the list Set ( item theDisplayTagId of tagDisplayList) to ( item theDisplayTagId of tagDisplayList) & ' ' then - if the tag doesn't already have a mark then add one.If ( last character of ( item theDisplayTagId of tagDisplayList)) is not ' If (( name of theTag as text) = (theActualTag as text)) then Log ( get theActualTag) & ' : ' & ( get name of theTag)

Set theActualTag to item theDisplayTagId of gTagList Set theDisplayTag to item theDisplayTagId of tagDisplayList Repeat with theDisplayTagId from 1 to ( length of tagDisplayList) On updateTagDisplayList( tagDisplayList, theTask) TODO: need to make this an array of arrays and flatten it in the dialog list the hack will be to use the same array position This allows an easy way to display which tags are already on a task. Each tag that matches is marked with a bullet at the end function that given a list of tags looks for those tags in given task. Set msg to (theTagName & ' is not a tag in your Omnifocus document. Set theTag to the first flattened tag of front document where its name = theTagName If you create a list of one tag it won't bring up the picker. Configure this list to the names of your tags you want to pick from Links for creating a tag if it doesn't exist helpful links around interacting with tags Script to toggle a specific tag on a set of OmniFocus items.
