Can multiple people/phones sync to the same database? [Answer: Yes, with caveats.] Thread Tools Search this Thread Display Modes
My small R&D team just switched to the suite of Omni products.

We are using OmniPlan and OmniFocus. Actions & milestones for projects are grouped as projects in OmniFocus.

Is there a way to sync to different servers on a project basis?

We are trying to keep all goals in a database, but want to avoid individual "home to-do lists" ending on the server, plus not everyone is on the same set of projects.

We are also using Outliner and Graffle Pro...

OmniFocus 1 was designed with a single-user workflow in mind; you can adapt it to work for the purposes you'd like, but as you've discovered, it's a stretch. (There's no support for multi-server syncing, or for syncing only a subset of your database, in other words.)

We have gotten requests for workflows like the one you'd describe; if you'd like your feedback to be added to those feature requests, shoot the Support Ninjas an email (under the help menu) so they can do so. One of the metrics the development team use when planning out future releases is the number of folks who would like to see a given change.
