I like OmniPlan a lot, but there is one feature that’s missing–the ability to print presentation-quality timelines. I understand that OP is focused on project management, not presentation, so I am looking for a good OS X timeline tool to use with OP. I’d like to be able to export the timeline data from my OmniPlan file, then import it into an OS X timeline creation app.
Can anyone recommend an OS X timeline creation tool that plays well with OmniPlan? Thanks.
I actually wrote this a couple of days ago, and since then I’ve come across Aeon Timeline, which does a pretty good job. I can export from OmniPlan as CSV, delete columns I don’t need from the CSV file, change column headers to match what Aeon Timeline expects, and import the CSV into Aeon Timeline. It creates a nice presentation timeline.
BTW, I have no affiliation with the folks who make Aeon Timeline. I’m just a guy who bought their app.
Maybe it will be in the new OmniPlan 3?
Perhaps it would be a good time to get into the OmniPlan 3 beta and put it in a feature request while it is still baking in the oven.
Hi @LagunaHiker,
If there are specific things you’d like to be able to print that you can’t currently do, you can email us at omniplan@omnigroup.com with details and we’ll be happy to log a feature request for you! Or help you navigate the current printing options of course.
I can’t seem to find anything about the OP’s ask in Omniplan 3. Really looking for a way to customize or at least add in a jpg or anything to make my timelines look branded and correct. A header and footer is key. I would be ok with editing it in word, taking a screenshot, then adding it above my Omniplan timeline.
