Customizing columns

There are a few columns you may or may not want to see in the main outline:

Context

Estimate

Start Date

Due Date

Completion Date

You can use the View ▸ Columns submenu to choose which of these columns are visible.

To customize column widths, first show the view bar by clicking its icon in the toolbar or choosing it from the View menu. Then drag the edges of the column headers that appear.

Your column visibility and width settings can be saved with your perspective if you select the Restore Layout option, so you can keep different settings for different situations.

To set the default column widths and visibility:

Have just one OmniFocus window open.

Set up column visibility and widths to your liking.

Close the window; OmniFocus remembers your column settings.
