Join David Sparks for an in-depth discussion in this video Using the Forecast view, part of OmniFocus for iOS Essential Training.
- As your task list grows,…you may want to see what you are up against…in the coming days and weeks.…OmniFocus helps you with exactly this problem,…using it's forecast view.…Let me show you how.…If you look in the sidebar on the left,…the very top perspective is the forecast.…And in it you see the listing…of the days over the next week.…If I go ahead and tap on, for instance Friday.…You're going to see that it shows me tomorrow.…I'm recording this on a Thursday.…Now there's nothing shown here…because it's only going to show items…that are going to be due that day.…
For instance, when I go to today,…where there's a one indicated.…You can see I have one item due that day,…but I want to show more data here…than just what's going to be due in future days,…I also want to see what's deferred to those days.…I can do that by taping on the view icon button,…that's the eyeball in the toolbar.…So I'll go ahead and tap on that.…And you can see it just shows calendar events…and due items, which are on by default.…I'm going to tap on deferred items,…
