If you decide to use the free Omni Sync Server, you can create an account that allows you to keep your database on the Omni Sync Server as well as on your iPad.
Omni Sync Server has a feature called Mail Drop. It creates an e-mail account for you. You can send e-mail to this e-mail address. The Omni Sync Server will add it to your OmniFocus inbox.
If I type " home + in 5 min + Internet " into the search box, could i find a list where all the tasks tagged with āhomeā āin 5 minā āInternetā?
Could i select the āintersectionā that the list will be only the tasks tagged with āhomeā āin 5 minā āInternetā at the same time ?
or ācollectionā that the list will be tasks tagged with one or more of this three tags above?
OmniFocus is designed to handle very large databases (10,000 items, I believe). Itās been around about ten years and some people have lots of data saved there.
File attachments are saved separately so they donāt slow down the database. Iāve never heard of someone having so much stuff the app couldnāt function properly.
Things 3 doesnāt have saved searches. 2Do and OF3 allows us to create search criteria and save it. If it is a frequently used search criteria, it saves time instead of having to go the Find button all the time. I just tape on the saved search (custom perspectives) and I immediately get what I want.
The current Find in OF3 allows us to search for tags as well. To do a refined search with and/or logic will require a custom perspective.
I have a custom perspective called āSearchā. I go to this perspective and do a search here by editing the custom perspective settings to find what I want. It becomes the same thing. I can clear out the perspective settings when Iām done,
Does the omnifocus have the feature of task dependency ?
For example,
There are some tasks and subtasks as following.
Task A
sub-task a
sub-task b
sub-task c
sub-task d
Task B
sub-task e
sub-task f
sub-task g
sub-task h
Task C
sub-task i
sub-task j
sub-task k
sub-task l
If the activation of sub-task a is launched by the completion of sub-task e,
the activation of sub-task e is launched by the completion of sub-task i,
the activation of sub-task i is launched by the completion of sub-task f,
the activation of sub-task f is launched by the completion of sub-task c,
could OF3 make the next task active when the last one is complete?
In general though, itās important to interact with your projects and actions. You canāt always rely on software to tell you exactly what to do next.
But sometimes these sub-projects or actions have nothing to do with each other.
Itās a little unsuitable to integrate these actions into a project.
I set the sequences of these actions not because of a tight cause-effect relation,
but because of too much energy consumed after re-thinking the priority of these actions in a muddle especially when I am tired.
I donāt want to carry out one project all the time. Instead, I preferred to switch one project to another flexibly.
But these actions have nothing to do with each other.
