Many tasks are done at varying degrees of completion. Since these tasks are not dependencies on each other, this should be fine. But OmniPlan insists on leveling tasks so that a 75% completed task takes up the full 100% space in the gantt chart. As I read this I can tell it's not very clear. Let me include a screen-grab. Task 10 should be auto-leveled so that the UNCOMPLETED portion starts when task 9 ends. It's bad in planning if two tasks overlap, but in practice if the task is completed there's no harm in it. In order to get an accurate picture of how much time is left in the schedule, I need to manually move tasks around so that the uncompleted portion begins where the previous task ended. Is there another way of doing this?

If you have two tasks and assign a 50% of a resource to each of them, they can proceed in parallel at half speed (so if each is scheduled to take a week of effort you'll see both of them end after two weeks). Does that help?

It's nice to know it is simply an oversite. In my organization most of the developers are on Macs, while people who need info on projects are on PCs, but aren't running Microsoft Project as they aren't project managers. The html output is ideal for us since it gives a great overview & is platform agnostic. The ability to customize the templates is great since there are some formatting distinctions I'd like to alter. What would be great for us is the ability to add a URL to the info box like OmniOutliner & have that output in the html templates. Since we do a lot of web development, links to other elements or documents for a task is important. Overall, I'm very pleased with the direction OmniPlan is going. While there are some rough spots in OmniPlan & some features in Merlin 2.0 that are appealing but missing in OP, I think I prefer the design direction of OP. I actually bought a license for Merlin 1.0, but found it so difficult to use that it was rarely used... defeating the point. I'd resorted to laying out projects in OmniOutliner, so OmniPlan is a natural migration. On Aug 15, 2006, at 9:30 PM, Liz Marley wrote: > There isn't really documentation on this feature yet.

Enjoy! Ken -- OmniPlan 1.0 beta 6 Released Thursday, August 24th, 2006. Major Fixes * Many menu item keyboard shortcuts remapped to make more sense. And some menu items rearranged in the menus. * Project Style inspector reworked to make editing text and gantt bar styles more straightforward. This made the appearance inspector group obsolete, and it is now gone. * There were several nasty bugs with specific work schedule exceptions (for instance, vacation days) resulting in the wrong scheduling and task durations. These are all fixed. * In the calendar view you can now Option-drag a time block to subtract work times. This is quite useful for defining vacation days. * Excel will now correctly open our CSV export files. * Resource leveling no longer moves tasks back into the past, which was undoing things like reschedule operations. * Unindenting after indenting a task now turns the group that was created back into a normal task again. MS Project support * Many more project files import correctly. * OmniPlan now supports flat numbering of rows in addition to the previous legal / work breakdown structure form. MS Project files are now opened in this style by default, since that is the form of numbering which MS Project uses. The numbering style can be changed back and forth with an item in the View menu. * MS Project unique ids are now kept as a custom data column on tasks and resources, and can optionally be viewed in the outline in OmniPlan. Writing back out in an MS Project format preserves these unique ids. * Better defaults for visible columns, splitter positions, and other window appearance settings when opening MS Project files. Minor Fixes * Made the default behavior for the tab key be to switch between fields instead of indenting the selected task. This can be modified via preferences. * The column sizes and positions in the default template now fit. * Resizing the window no longer moves the split view bar. * The column mapping panel on import from OmniOutliner and CSV formats is now resizable and allows the ability to add custom data columns. * Export filters have been prettified. The date within X days/weeks filters now give the correct results. Filtering by completion now correctly accepts percentages as values. * Violation and overdue badges are now more distinct and prettier. * The resource allocation graph is now flat for easier readability. Also added a Show/Hide item in the View menu for it to make this feature's existence more obvious. * The mini calendar in the calendar view now has a much better selection of the selected week. It also now shows off-days in gray numerals and different-than-standard days in orange. * Printing HTML reports no longer prints an extra page. * Better visual cursor feedback when manipulating gantt bars with the mouse. * Mousing over the gantt view used to end up displaying editability handles on more than one bar at a time - this is now fixed. * Changed the wording on Send Feedback panel to be more clear. * Fixed crash when double-clicking on IM column in resource view. * Cost headings in the report pages were confusing. Labeled them better. * "Send instant message" added to the advanced actions menu in Resource Info inspector. * Many undo/redo action names improved. * Unindenting multiple nested tasks at once wasn't working correctly. Now performs exactly the same as OmniOutliner for this operation. * Copying and pasting groups of already leveled tasks would result in bizarre behavior if resource leveling was used again. Now fixed. * Web Export now correctly produces iCal to do lists instead of two copies of the resource's calendar.

I was surprised that there had been no reports of files that got corrupted as this happened to me a couple time. One file I sent in was repaired (thanks) but with a major section missing. The problem in this area seems to be once the project gets fairly large over 100 or so tasks and you begin moving items around that have durations and resources. I did not see any reports of fixes in this area for 1.0 6b and wanted to know if there was anything so I do not invest a lot of time in this again and loose a lot of work. I would like to use this tool because it is way better than anything else I have available. /jon From kc@omnigroup.com Wed Sep 27 09:25:16 2006 Return-Path: X-Original-To: omniplan-users@omnigroup.com Delivered-To: omniplan-users@omnigroup.com Received: from [10.4.2.109] (porygon.omnigroup.com [198.151.161.7]) by machop.omnigroup.com (Postfix) with ESMTP id 10FBF6D36EFA; Wed, 27 Sep 2006 09:25:15 -0700 (PDT) Date: Wed, 27 Sep 2006 09:25:14 -0700 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit From: Ken Case In-Reply-To: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed; delsp=yes References: To: Jon Saperia Mime-Version: 1.0 (Apple Message framework v840.1) Message-Id: <89DAD4EC-F201-470F-8F97-4E100E17EF52@omnigroup.com> X-Mailer: Apple Mail (2.840.1) Cc: omniplan-users@omnigroup.com Subject: Re: Mailing list archive X-BeenThere: omniplan-users@omnigroup.com X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.3 Precedence: list List-Id: OmniPlan Users List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Wed, 27 Sep 2006 16:25:21 -0000 On Sep 27, 2006, at 07:26 , Jon Saperia wrote: > I just went through the archive and found a fairly small number of > entries.

The archives are up to date (they now contain your two messages from today, for example), but there hasn't been much traffic on this mailing list.

Beta 6b didn't have any bug fixes, its only change was to extend the expiration date. We'll be releasing beta 7 (which has quite a few changes) very soon, and I'd recommend waiting for it if you were having problems with beta 6b.

Enjoy! Ken -- OmniPlan 1.0 beta 7 Released Wednesday, September 27th, 2006. New Features * Tasks have a priority setting which assists in leveling * Behavior of the enter key is now user configurable * Notes from OmniPlan can now be exported to iCal and included in HTML exports * Mini-Manual now available through the Help menu * The Show Overview command in the View menu provides an abstract view of all top-level tasks and groups in the project * Showing dates on milestones in the Gantt chart is now a separate View Options setting from showing assigned resources on tasks * When you drag tasks, they now snap to time units based on the zoom level * Duration and Effort totals added to the list of things that appear when left clicking at the bottom of the main window Major Fixes * Importing * We've fixed a number of issues related to importing and exporting MS Project files. While we have fixed some problems, we know we still have more work to do, so please keep sending us bug reports! * Leveling * New leveling algorithm * The new leveling algorithm is faster, produces fewer hangs and behaves more predictably. * The details are: 1. Order tasks by priority then by position in the outline 2. From lowest priority up, position any tasks with absolute end limits (meaning they are locked or have an end constraint or are a prerequisite to another task which is locked or has an end constraint) as _late_ as it is possible for them to fit, so as to reserve worst-case space. 3. From highest priority down, position tasks as early as allowable and will fit. This includes all the tasks in step 2 as well, which may be moved earlier because of this. If any tasks fail to fit at all, save them for later. 4. With only remaining 'failed' tasks, from highest priority down, perform the same operation as in step 3. Some may fit now because a lower priority task with a reserved position in step 2 may have moved during its part of step 3. While any tasks are able to be positioned, repeat step 4 again with remaining failed tasks. * Calendar * Moving time blocks in the work schedule no longer misbehaves * Fixed crash when pushing arrow keys in Calendar Mode * Modifying time blocks no longer causes them to disappear * AppleScript Dates * The OmniPlan AppleScript library now handles NSDates correctly * Inspecting Multiple Tasks * It is now possible to edit multiple tasks at the same time * HTML Templates * Standardized and cleaned up the HTML in exported projects * Exporting resource information is more configurable * CSS for our exported HTML has been moved to a separate file * HTML exports are more compatible with Firefox and IE * Overhauled print options * OmniPlan's print settings now accept 2-digit months Minor Fixes * Option-clicking a group in the Gantt view will now expand all hidden children * Resources no longer disappear from calendar view if you make the window tiny and resize it up again * A group's completion percentage now updates immediately when adjusting a subtask * Grouping tasks will now renumber properly * Assignment pane of the Task inspector now shows all resources * Users can now convert between task, group, and milestone from the contextual/action menu From lizard@omnigroup.com Wed Oct 18 16:12:45 2006 Return-Path: X-Original-To: omniplan-users@omnigroup.com Delivered-To: omniplan-users@omnigroup.com Received: from [10.4.2.51] (porygon.omnigroup.com [198.151.161.7]) by machop.omnigroup.com (Postfix) with ESMTP id CD3EA6FFFC79 for ; Wed, 18 Oct 2006 16:12:45 -0700 (PDT) Mime-Version: 1.0 (Apple Message framework v752.2) To: omniplan-users@omnigroup.com Message-Id: <8E671AB9-D2E2-4E88-BE62-D3503894C0BF@omnigroup.com> From: Liz Marley Date: Wed, 18 Oct 2006 16:12:45 -0700 X-Mailer: Apple Mail (2.752.2) Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; delsp=yes; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Content-Filtered-By: Mailman/MimeDel 2.1.3 Subject: Take beta 8 out for a spin X-BeenThere: omniplan-users@omnigroup.com X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.3 Precedence: list List-Id: OmniPlan Users List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Wed, 18 Oct 2006 23:12:46 -0000 We've just posted beta 8, and would appreciate it if you'd download it, try it out for a bit, and send us some feedback. Beta 7 licenses expire this weekend, so grab beta 8 to keep using OmniPlan through November 20th. Here's a list of some of the new features we've added recently. Added Total Cost, Total Uses, Total Hours to the Resource Info inspector, and as optional columns to the resource outline. Rounded durations are now shown with indicators of how they were rounded. For instance, typing 5 minutes ("5m") while hours are the smallest value displayed will result in ">0h" while 55 minutes will display as "<1h". Full precision is shown while editing. Sort submenu added under Structure for sorting tasks by any outline column value. Mini Pop-Up Calendar added when choosing dates in the outline (not added yet for dates in the inspectors and sheets). When "Show Off-Hours" is chosen in View Options, off-hours are now displayed in gray in the gantt chart. (The color is configurable in the Project Colors inspector.) The resource timeline view now supports multiple selection via command-click. Added controls to the Calendar View for clearing calendar customizations and restoring a custom calendar to the defaults. New outline columns can show which resources have customized calendars and which do not. Currency format is now arbitrary. Added a preference for whether the Return key should create a new row or not. Added View menu option for folding multi-line text in the outlines or not. Added embedded versioning scheme for Web/HTML templates, so that when we change the tags for substitution into these formats we can warn users that their custom templates may be out of date and require updating. Added new controls for image export formats to allow export of gantt or outline or both. Added leveling options to allow leveling only the selection and to optionally keep tasks from being rescheduled before a given date. Added option to display/hide date constraints on the Gantt chart. Allow adding resource assignments to milestones, since MS Project allows this. Import/export them correctly to MS Project formats. Headers and Footers for printing. Currently the header defaults to the document name but can be changed in the printing controls. The footer just shows the page number.

When I export my project tasks and milestones into iCal . The Milestone will be an all-day event but tasks not. I hope the tasks will be an all-day event in iCal, and I can view my tasks as event bars across several days on my iCal (month view). It will show me what is my plan in this month quicker than before. After all it's the best project program I have tried up to now, cheers for you~ Art From uplink.team@gmail.com Mon Oct 23 06:22:31 2006 Return-Path: X-Original-To: omniplan-users@omnigroup.com Delivered-To: omniplan-users@omnigroup.com X-Greylist: delayed 931 by SQLgrey-1.6.5 Received: from boo.uplink.at (boo.uplink.at [213.129.253.56]) by machop.omnigroup.com (Postfix) with ESMTP id 194087076EE2 for ; Mon, 23 Oct 2006 06:22:30 -0700 (PDT) Received: from [192.168.1.254] (mail.vitak.at [81.223.49.90] (may be forged)) (authenticated) by boo.uplink.at (uplink.at/20050121) with ESMTP id k9ND6sxr075232 for ; Mon, 23 Oct 2006 15:06:55 +0200 (CEST) Mime-Version: 1.0 (Apple Message framework v752.3) To: omniplan-users@omnigroup.com Message-Id: From: uplink team Date: Mon, 23 Oct 2006 15:06:55 +0200 X-Mailer: Apple Mail (2.752.3) X-Greylist: Sender succeeded SMTP AUTH authentication, not delayed by milter-greylist-2.0.2 (boo.uplink.at [213.129.253.60]); Mon, 23 Oct 2006 15:06:55 +0200 (CEST) X-Virus-Scanned: ClamAV 0.88.2/2078/Mon Oct 23 09:07:08 2006 on boo.uplink.at X-Virus-Status: Clean X-Spam-Flag: No X-Spam-Status: No, hits=-0.4 required=5.8 tests=AWL, BAYES_00, DNS_FROM_RFC_ABUSE, HTML_MESSAGE, SPF_NEUTRAL AWL=0.9 responsible=spam.administrator@uplink.at X-Spam-Report: Spam checks perfomed by uplink coherent solution's SPAM Robot.

It sounds like those sub tasks are all scheduled to run in parallel rather than in sequence, so the duration of the huge task is the maximum of the durations of the sub tasks. (Imagine painting rooms in a house, and having different painters working on each room: the whole task will take as long as the longest room.) If those tasks actually depend on each other (i.e., you're painting different coats of paint in the same room), you can add dependencies between the tasks by dragging dependency lines between them on the Gantt chart or by selecting them all and clicking the "Connection" button in the toolbar. If they don't depend on each other but you only have one person working on the tasks (i.e., you've only hired one painter), you can add a person to your project (in the Resource view) and assign all the tasks to that person (by using the "Assignment" button in the toolbar or by dragging tasks onto that person's schedule in the Resource view). You can then click on the "Level" button on the toolbar to reschedule the tasks so the person doesn't try to work on more than one thing at a time. If the tasks can proceed in parallel and you just wanted to see the total effort (i.e., how many hours those painters would bill you for, or 6.75h), you can display the total effort (or person-hours) by selecting View Options from the View menu (or right-clicking on the column headers) and clicking on the Effort checkbox. I hope this helps!

OmniPlan is under very active development: we've had six public beta releases since we shipped 1.0 three months ago. For details of what changed in each release, see the release notes at . While this mailing list has been pretty quiet so far, you'll find that there is a very active community on the OmniPlan web forums at . (There have been over a thousand posts in 261 threads. Make that 262...) Our support ninjas do try to monitor both the mailing list and the forums, but the fastest way to get a response from us is to send email to them directly at omniplan@omnigroup.com or by selecting "Send Feedback" from the Help menu. We try to respond to every message within one business day, and often respond even more quickly than that. Hope this helps!

Every problem I have had that I have told them about has been addressed. Their support ninjas are second to none. I highly recommend OmniPlan to anyone who is looking to manage individual small to medium sized projects. In my mind, it is not well suited (yet) for managing large projects, or large numbers of projects. With that in mind, I bought a copy for every Macintosh user in our group as soon as the product was in the store.

Which version are you referring to, 1.0 RC1 (released a couple months ago) or 1.1 RC1 (released about a week ago)? Is this an issue you've told us about? We've been continually improving our Project import and export, so if there is a serious data corruption like this, we would really appreciate more details so that we can address it. Please reply here, or better yet, email our ninjas (omniplan@omnigroup.com) with the details of the bug you're seeing.

I had a very good experience with OmniPlan yesterday, the first time I tried it. I was desperate to create a good timeline for a medium size project (lots of tasks, but few developers) and the customer was pressing for a coherent timeline. It was just impossible to do this manually - I needed a Gantt Chart. I tried various things - trying to do it in Excel (ugh), I tried iTaskX - and then I came across OmniPlan. I got a 24 hour trial license and tried it out. What made it work in OmniPlan was two things: 1. The resource leveler. iTaskX doesn't have that and it is absolutely vital to have a feature like that otherwise you end up scheduling mostly manually anyway. The leveler worked great and I got just what I needed. 2. The various exports, like vector PDF (which I gave to my customer) and the HTML full report are great. I can see myself using OmniPlan constantly from now on. And I purchased a license this morning. And now for my feature requests! (Surprisingly few!) 1. I would like to see more Gantt Chart customization options, such as: - Coloring the bars to match the colors of the task style. - Begin able to show the resource names by the bars in the Gantt chart without the "effort %". - Being able to apply styles to more column values, such as "priority". (Ex: all "priority 3" items get colored one way) - I mentioned this before, but I think there should be an option to reverse the meaning of the priority values so it corresponds with common English usage. That is "Priority 1" should be "top priority" rather than "bottom priority". It would make inputting the priority data less confusing, I think. - Maybe some more HTML report options enhancements - like being able to click on the tasks in the Gantt chart to show details. That would be cool. But I am basically very happy for now, and have been showing off the project to people at the company I work with.

Yes, I am finding OmniPlan very useful. About the coloring of the bars, thanks for pointing that out. I didn't notice it. Is there a way of associating the color with some property so, for example, all the tasks by a certain resource are colored one way? Or all the tasks with a certain priority are colored some way?
