Relevant when the app gives notice that you might be deleting something by mistake. Hidden An item that exists in your database but isnвЂ™t exposed by the view options of your current perspective. Groups created from inbox items are item groups, while groups created within projects are action groups (also sometimes called sub-projects). Group A collection of items nested hierarchically within another item. Items that are flagged are styled in orange for greater visibility. What this special status denotes is completely up to you, but itвЂ™s a great way to keep important things from falling through the cracks. Flag A mark of privileged, eye-catching status bestowed on an item. For single action lists, all actions are equally available. First Available status is derived from an actionвЂ™s position within a project and the projectвЂ™s type: for sequential and parallel projects, the first available action is the first action in the project list. First Available A status (and view option) designating a projectвЂ™s first action as the only one available. The exact meaning of Due Soon is configurable in OmniFocus Settings. Items that are due soon are styled in amber for greater visibility. Due Soon A status for items whose due dates are approaching. Due Date A date and time assigned to an item by which the item must be completed. Use the inspector to set a project or tag as dropped. Dropped The status for a project or tag that is no longer being considered for completion. You can drag text into OmniFocus from the other apps, reorder items in the outline, and drag rows or selected text from OmniFocus to other apps on your device. Drag & Drop Introduced with iOS 11, Drag & Drop is a system-level function that is integrated with OmniFocus and other apps on iOS. Also referred to as the Defer Until date. When the defer date is reached, the item becomes available for work. Defer Date A date and time assigned to an item that you donвЂ™t want to (or canвЂ™t) consider for completion until later. ThereвЂ™s typically no need to interact with your database file directly there are Settings that can optimize its performance, and you can contact support if it looks like things may be amiss.

OmniFocus and its various perspectives act as windows onto your database, interpreting the data there in ways that help you get stuff done. Database The file that OmniFocus uses to hold all of the information that you add to the app. Contextual menus appear as a black bar-with menu options specific to the object or interface element you have tapped. Where available, contextual menus appear when you long-press on a row or block of text and then release your finger. Contextual Menu Since iOS doesnвЂ™t have a menu structure similar to macOS, OmniFocus uses contextual menus to provide a method of interacting with the user interface.

Tap an itemвЂ™s status circle to mark it complete. Complete The status assigned to an item when youвЂ™ve finished it, or finished all the actions that comprise it (in the case of a project or group). iPhone in portrait orientation and iPad in 1/3 split screen are examples of compact views. Compact A view width that requires OmniFocusвЂ™s multi-pane design to run in a layered stack rather than with the panes side by side (contrast with wide view). Blocked status isnвЂ™t set directly to unblock an action, either change the project to another type or move the action to the top of the project. Blocked The status of an action in a sequential project that comes after the first available action. Available status is derived from an itemвЂ™s defer date, project type, and project or tag status. Available An item status (and view option) that includes items that arenвЂ™t blocked, deferred, or on hold. Active status can be set on projects and tags using the inspector. Active The status for an item thatвЂ™s planned for completion, or a tag thatвЂ™s currently in use.

Action Group Also referred to as a sub-project, an action group is a set of actions nested hierarchically within a parent action (which itself can be part of a project). Glossary Action An item thatвЂ™s part of a project, or part of a group within a project.
