Otherwise, ask Brett ( ttscoff), I’m sure he’s come up with something for tagging in OmniFocus by now. I’m sure there would be a way to use Applescript or Python to parse all the tags used in the OmniFocus database and present a list, but that’s outside of how I’m using tags at this time. I simply state that what I showed them is one option for tagging in OmniFocus.
Omnifocus contexts examples how to#
The follow up question I get, after showing how I tag in OmniFocus, is how to get a list of tags used in OmniFocus or a method to control what tags are used. So now when I click on my #CSS perspective, I get a list of tasks that only include this tag.
In the example below I have set up a perspective to show just my #CSS tags. The other way I’ve used tags is with a specific perspective. So now I can search across all of my projects for tasks with a given set of tags. So when I search for the word wordpress, I get multiple results:īut now if I search for #wordpress, I only get my ‘tagged’ action items: In OmniFocus 2, the search function will do a literal search of the text entered in the search box. The two main ways I do this is through Searching or Perspectives. I use Contexts as part of my weekly review, but use tags to quickly find and organize actions. This allows me to have an action to have multiple tags, but still under a single context. In the long description (that’s what I call it) of the task, I added tags with the ‘#’ symbol in front them. Here’s an sample project I have in OmniFocus: Guess what? You can do tags in OmniFocus today! Sample Project: With the release of OmniFocus 2, the same thread has been picked right where it left off. One of the longest threads on the OmniFocus 1 forums has been a plea for the inclusion of tagging actions. Last week The Omni Group released OmniFocus 2, an update to their GTD task management software.
