You can also use a "sorta tag" solution but putting the phrase "90DAY" as a note (or even in the title) in each of your projects and then make a perspective using that search term in the toolbar (and...

I don't know if the ribbon is the answer, but I would love to have something different than the current inspector. It is clumsy and takes up a lot of space on the screen (I suppose if I had a huge...

I was also frustrated by having every action in a project show up if I flagged it, making my "due or flagged" perspective almost useless. What I do now is make good use of the State Date so I don't...

missing disclosure triangles on projects and action groups

I haven't had the triangles visible on either projects or action groups except on mouse-over for ages. And I swear years ago (or what feels like years ago!) that they would remain visible as a...

separate default context from project/AG context

I found it confusing that to choose a context for a project/action group, one had to use the "default" context. I kept looking for a way to pick a context similar to how an action context is...

what's the difference between an OF Archive file and an OF Backup file

I am thinking about removing my someday/future lists from my main OF database to help make it smaller (and hopefully help keep me more focused and organized).

I started moving them to a...

I'll put individual SA's on hold by putting a real far out start date. I use 8/8/88. It's easy to type and very distinctive so I don't think it's a real start date.
