Are overdue actions no longer "Available" ?

[bushford]

Hi,

I just moved from The Hit List and struggling with OF's limited filtering features... In either Project or Context mode, when I filter on the Action status "Available", I don't see any actions that are overdue.

This is causing a small panic since with my workload I am often not able to finish tasks on time, but that doesn't mean they that I don't want to have them on my list of available tasks any more !!!

Any suggestions are welcome...

Bushford, sorry for the confusion here! Both available and unavailable actions can end up in the overdue state. It sounds like your actions are overdue, but are not available.

If you select View -> Availability Filter -> Remaining do the actions in question appear?

Off the top of my head, I'm guessing those actions are part of a sequential project. Each step only becomes available once the previous steps have been completed. (Another possibility would be that they've been assigned to an on-hold context or project.)

Does that help?
