The reason you bother to distinguish between parallel and sequential projects, is that often, you're able to do anything in a project, and so you need those actions to be available. We've built that capability in, with the expectation that you need it. But, on the iPhone, we've designed this "view" to treat both kinds of projects exactly the same way! When it comes to sequential projects, we're showing you "next actions" as you'd expect, and when it comes to parallel projects, we're showing you what happens to be a the top of your list, as you would not expect. We're calling that a "suggestion". This way of showing Next Actions has the obvious benefit of completely breaking the system. |
The only difference between "Available" and "Next" is that Available shows all available actions, while Next only shows you the first available action. Perhaps our documentation should include a sentence like this:
To show all parallel actions at once, choose the "Available" view setting. If you would rather see just the first available action from each project (to avoid having parallel projects dominate your action list), choose the "Next" view setting instead.
It sounds like you actually want to see all your available actions (rather than just the first), so you simply need to select "Available" rather than "Next".
