Action Due time?
Hi,
Is there a way to not have an action have a due time? Thanks. |
No.
If a task has no due time, but is due today, when is it marked overdue, if not completed? Are you looking for different behavior, or easier data entry? |
In the due column, you can type tomorrow 5 pm.
If the time reaches tomorrow, 5 pm, then the task will show up as overdue. If no time is specified, the task defaults to 12 am. |

I believe it will default to the due time set in Preferences>Data>Default Time for Due Dates. To the OP-you can set the due time to 11:59 PM, which means that tasks are not considered overdue until the next day (12:00 AM). |
Thanks for this. I guess I just did want any type of alarm going off at a certain time. I don't know the program well enough to know if I have a way to control that vs. just having the action show as overdue.

Hi,
So I understand the need to have a time in order for an action to become "overdue." But is there a way to set up a time an action is due so I can act on it vs. setting up a date (but no time) an action is due (and if the date passes, the action is overdue)? |

When exactly [B]does[/B] the date 'pass' ? At the stroke of midnight ? (That is certainly the conventional view … ) If so, a time component of zero (midnight) is probably what you are really thinking about – either midnight at the start of a given day or midnight at the end of that day, in which case you can just bump up the date by one day … (or use a time component of 23h and 59m) (The underlying data in the OF database is a unix datetime field, in which the time component can be set to zero, but can not in any way be persuaded into non-existence – it's simply a number of seconds elapsed since the stroke of midnight which marked the start of January 1 2001 i.e. around 366883200 at the time of writing …) This may give a sense of what lurks under the hood, and why there are no 'timeless' dates in this system. [CODE]#!/bin/sh #OFOC=$(osascript -e 'tell application "Finder" to get id of application file id "OFOC"') OFOC="com.omnigroup.OmniFocus" # For Appstore-purchased variant use (slower) line above instead OFQUERY="sqlite3 $HOME/Library/Caches/$OFOC/OmniFocusDatabase2" NOW=$($OFQUERY "SELECT (strftime('%s','now','localtime'))") YEARZERO=$($OFQUERY "SELECT strftime('%s','2001-01-01')") echo $(($NOW-$YEARZERO))[/CODE] From which, where I am, I just got 366883620 seconds.

Thanks for the information.
But I am looking for the option to set/not set a due time (and thus an alarm) for a an action, especially in iOS. |
