I have folders on the top level, representing areas of interest. within that aoi i got several projects. within that projects there are obviously actions. sometimes I need sub structures below these projects and so I created nested action-lists.
These list are obviously not as powerful as projects point. Is there any chance to have some sub projects between these projects? or any other hint dealing with the question, thank you for any hint in that direction.
@Geoffairey Yes. I found the way of sub-tasks for tasks. There is a way of having:
Task item
Task item 1
Task item 2
Task item 3
Doing so, it is not possible to have these tasks in e.g. different order modes or to show them in a useful way in e.g. the forecast view or other perspectives. Possible task is planning a business trip with sequential order.
What I’m using now is a mixture of folders and projects. It works in a way.
You can definitely set subtasks under tasks to be sequential or parallel, you can set them the task to autocomplete when all of the Subtasks are completed.
Tasks and subtasks will also show in the forecast view if they’re due on the date you’re looking at or tagged with your forecast today tag.
I think this is a blind spot in how OF works. A sub-task is not IMO the same as a sub-project. A sub project is a project in its own right which feeds into the parent project.
One thing I can’t do with a sub task for instance is to assign a task directly to it. I have to assign to the parent project then jump to that project and rearrange so the new task is in the right place and sequence.
