Is there a way when grouping actions that one can group them just for the purpose of organizing them together in the main outline rather than having to have a start and ending date for each grouping?

main outline which view ? projects or contexts .
you might be in the market for " single action lists " those are " projects " that are groups of one time actions and even within those you can create task groups .. either way neither SAL's or task groups require start and end dates . Omni Focus is based on the Getting Things Done methodology of David Allen and due dates are suggested only when they're " real " Search the help menu for " single action lists " and " action groups "

The Task groups that are allowed to be created while they do not have the requirement of start and due dates - they do have the option. When I use my perspective as David Sparks of MacSparky suggested on the OF talks @ Macworld - of seeing actions I can "start" for the day, task groups without "Start" dates show up in context and project view under the grouping of "no start date". I'd prefer to not have them there as I Group by start dates.

You can turn off the display of projects and action groups in context mode. See the bottom of the Data page of the preferences.

Can't eliminate that group entirely, but you could set up a perspective that collapsed the "No Start Date" group. The items would be there, but hidden from view.
Some minor adaptation of the steps in this post should get you there, but if that doesn't work for some reason, let us know more and we'll be happy to help!
