Differences between "reporter" vs "planifiée" for a task

Hello,

I would like to understand better the difference between :
Reporter (postpone) vs Planifiée (planned)

At the end I would like to specify that I will be ready to work on a task from dateA for a due date dateB and then see the task every day in the calendar (to be come) between the dateA and the closure of the task.

Thanks for your help !

The verb used in English language versions of Omnifocus that corresponds to reporter is “defer”. You will see discussion of “defer dates” and “deferring until…” in these Forums.

Defer dates determine when a task moves from merely being a “remaining” task to becoming “available”. If you set your task’s defer date (date reportée) to dateA and it’s due date to dateB it will appear in perspectives showing “available” tasks (including the built in “Available” perspective) from Date A and not before. As date B approaches it will become “due soon” and appear in yellow. After date B it will become overdue and appear in red

Planned dates (dates planifiées) are slightly different, and optional. They allow you to pick the exact day (of all the possible dates between dateA and dateB) that you actually plan to complete the task.
