Even Dropbox sync would have been nice to have, and much more efficient than having to email to yourself or exporting with the current options. I am disappointed that the app does not have some kind of over-the-air sync with the desktop version, like I'm used to with OmniFocus for Mac/iPhone.
Everything that you could need will be found here. Tap the "OMNI" button in the top right and it's there, along with a way to email OmniGroup from within the app, and view Release Notes for the current version. If, for any reason, you need help with using OmniOutliner, there is a Help section accessible from the main Documents screen. Now, for those that use OmniOutliner for Mac, you'll be pleased to know that if you email or export your outlines, they will carry over with the same styling that you have set from your iPad. Want to hide a column? No problem, just tap on the wrench, go to Columns, and tap the eye to hide/unhide a column. If you use OmniOutliner for spreadsheets, you can also adjust the width of each column by simply dragging the ends. As you change each element, the change will be reflected live on your document (assuming you have that specific element on the outline). The button at the top with the wrench icon will allow you to add more columns or view hidden ones (great for spreadsheets), change styles in the current document (Whole Document, Notes, or various outline elements), and change the view (zoom level, background color of document and alternate row colors).Īll of these options allow for a great level of customization when drafting your outlines, notes, lists, tasks, or whatever it is you use OmniOutliner for. Tap "Edit" and select the items, then you can Delete, Group, or Move them with the buttons at the bottom (move is drag and drop).Įach document created in OmniOutliner for iPad can have all sorts of neat stuff done with them. If you notice that some of your items should be under another section of your outline, it's easy to move them. If the undo button is held, it will redo the last action that you undid. Having these options is great for creating those super in-depth outlines.Įveryone makes mistakes, so there's that quite-handy-to-have undo button towards the top. Links will instantly get "linkified." Images can also be placed into your outline via copy & paste. Additionally, there are two buttons on the same bar but on the right side, which allow you to enter a "note" item to the current level you're in, or enter a new item in one of four directions (according to your current level). There are buttons on the left side of the bar above the keyboard that allow you to create the next level of an outline or go back a level. When you're outlining, it's pretty self-explanatory. Unfortunately, you can't really recreate one of the themes easily - so if that's what you're wanting to do, I'd recommend just going back and doing the method I mentioned earlier for that. The name of the document can be changed by simply tapping at "My Outline" at the top, unless you want to keep it that way. This will present a fresh and clean slate for you to outline on.
When you're ready to create a new document, go back to the main screen and hit that button at the top. The Export option allows you to export to iDisk, WebDAV, or by iTunes File Sharing. There are other buttons beneath the documents too, which allow you to send by email or Export, or just trash an unwanted document.Įmailing gives the user several different options for formats: OmniOutliner (compatible with OmniOutliner 3 for Mac), OPML, Dynamic HTML, Simple HTML, and Plain Text.
Another way to navigate through is by dragging the scroll bar at the bottom. Think of something like Cover Flow, except without the angled view. You can look through the various documents by simply swiping the screen left and right. New Document will not copy over the color scheme. This is done by tapping on that middle button with the "+" and selecting Duplicate. Easy on the eyes, great complimentary colors - what more could someone ask for? If you want to use one of the color schemes for your own documents, it's fairly easy to do - simply duplicate the document and use it for a new outline. There are also some other documents that demonstrate various color schemes, with my personal favorite being the Solarized (Light) theme. Another document will show the user that OmniOutliner can also be used for spreadsheets, which can come in handy. Surprisingly, it's not that hard, really. There is a basic introductory document, which will explain the steps to create a new outline document. There are already seven documents that the developers include, which will give you a nice overview of how the app works. You'll be taken immediately to the Documents.
