The Scheduling plug-in will assign a tag corresponding to the date, such as “Sunday (Jul 2, 2023)”. “1d” for tomorrow’s date or “1w” to enter the date one week from today). You can choose from the date picker or type an OmniFocus-recognized date format (e.g. To schedule a task, select the task (or tasks) and choose “(Re)schedule Task(s)” from the Scheduling menu.

In the meantime, this task will still be available if you opt to complete it earlier than planned. The action remains available and, if you choose “Update Schedule,” will appear under your designated Today tag once the specified date arrives. The Scheduling plug-in allows you to earmark a task for a future date without giving it an arbitrary defer date that limits its availability.

Please note that you’ll need to install the Synced Preferences plug-in to use this and some of Kaitlin Salzke’s other plug-ins.ĭownload | Plug-In Page (Source: Kaitlin Salzke) This plug-in is especially convenient when combined with a keyboard shortcut such as ⌥⌘L. Specifically, if the note field contains more than one link, you’ll be prompted to open one or more of the links. The key difference is that it handles multiple links. This plug-in is similar to the Open Project/Action Note URL plug-in.

This is especially convenient when combined with a keyboard shortcut such as ⌥⌘L. This plug-in opens the link that you have stored in the selected task’s note field. For example, a project may include a link to a Google Doc containing the project specifications, and an action may have a link to the website that you need to review. It can be very helpful to store a link in the note field of a project or action.

It references information stored on our website, making it possible for us to update our list of resources without you having to update the plug-in. This plug-in provides a quick and convenient way to access resources on the Learn OmniFocus website. Consider assigning a keyboard shortcut to this plug-in to make this even more quick and convenient. With a minor addition (documented on the plug-in page), this plug-in can also apply the tag of your choice to the duplicate action. This plug-in automates the process of marketing the action complete and creating a duplicate “waiting” action. Let’s say you had an action to “Phone: Bob about TPS report.” If you phoned Bob and left a message, you’ll likely want to create a new action to reflect the fact that you’re waiting for a response from Bob. On the Mac, this perspective is opened in a new tab and on iPad, a new split-screen window is automatically created with the Forecast set to today.ĭownload | Plug-In Page (Source: Omni Automation) This plug-in provides a quick and easy way to gain access to this perspective without losing track of what you were working on. The built-in Forecast perspective is a signature feature of OmniFocus. All memberships include a 30-day money-back guarantee.

Take our Omni Automation: Fundamentals course and learn how to tap into the power of Omni Automation. I'm noodling around ideas for adding some attribute to resource group assignments to instruct the app to pick the same resource (if possible) but so far they all feel very clunky.Learn How to Use and Create OmniFocus Plug-Ins Flipping over to the Resource View and turning on View -> Timeline -> Resource Load can help with that process, but it's far from automating it.

That will unfortunately requires some manual work to keep the project level. For now I think you will have to make specific assignments to a given resource. I see the value in what you're doing, and feel that conceptually the second part of these tasks which have prerequisites should be regarded as separate tasks, however there is no way to assign a pool of resources and add some kind of such that constraint that a given set of tasks should be assigned the same resource by the leveling process. So there is no way to accomplish what you want with split tasks. As such a split task may have dependencies and prerequisites, but the individual chunks cannot. In order to keep the concepts and the UI clear and (relatively) easy to understand, we decided when designing split tasks that it just made sense if the chunks of a split task could not differ from each other in any aspect apart from the non-contiguous periods of effort they require.
