Hi, I’m Anne, one of the Support Humans here at Omni,
and I’m going to take you on a tour
of OmniFocus’ new Forecast Perspective.
Forecast show you what’s coming up,
and what you should be getting freaked out about.
The Sidebar displays the next 30 days,
and the number of actions associated with each date,
color-coded according to its most urgent item:
amber for Due Soon,
and red for Overdue.
You can click to select one or more dates
to view the details for just that selection.
Click and drag to select a range of dates.
You can also command-click
to select discontiguous dates,
like all of your Fridays.
Click on the Forecast tab
to clear your selection, and see everything again.
Interleaved with your Outline,
you may see appointments that you have scheduled in your calendars.
Pop open the View Settings to control which calendars you see…
or if you see them at all.
If the next 30 days is too much to consider right now,
you can change the view to just show the next week.
One last cool trick:
If you need to adjust the due date for an Action,
you can drag and drop it onto a date in the Sidebar
to assign a new date.
Thanks for watching!
