Folder/Project/Action Group UML class diagram
1 Attachment(s)
Hi everyone - I'm new to OmniFocus and have been playing around with the capabilities of Folders, Projects and Action Groups. I've drawn a UML class diagram to represent my understanding of what relationships are possible.
Can someone confirm that I have this right please? Refer to the attached drawing which basically says: A folder can contain other folders A folder can contain projects A project can contain Action Groups. A project can contain Actions An Action Group can contain other Action Groups. An Action Group can contain Actions. So for example, a Folder cannot directly contain Actions. edit: Action Groups can contain other Action Groups |
Looks right to me.

Action groups can also contain action groups.

Dang... I missed that one.

And don't forget single-action lists. They're similar to projects but vary in some important ways.

Yeah, thanks I had this as a subclass of "Project". In my diagram, I called it both "Single Action" and - my own term - "Independent Actions" because each action contained in it is independent of the others. |
BTW, I think that the OmniFocus manual would benefit from a diagram similar to this because having read the manual some of the relationships shown in this diagram weren't clear from reading the text. For example, I didn't realize Actions couldn't go directly in a Folder until I tried to do it. etc, etc.
Anyone else agree? |
Yes, I agree. That would be very helpful for new users. Although, UML might not be the best format for ordinary people. :-)

Honestly, are the people that use OmniFocus really [i]ordinary[/i]? ;) |
