Mac OS X Developers The Omni Group Announce New Version of Productivity Tool, OmniOutliner 2.0 New features include added support for time management and data calculating Seattle, Washington -- May 6, 2002 -- The Omni Group, developers of Mac OS X applications and game ports, announce the latest version of OmniOutliner, a program for outlining and organizing information. OmniOutliner 2.0 uses intuitive commands and collapsible groups to help users maintain multiple to-do lists, create agendas, manage tasks, track expenses, write legal briefs, take meeting notes, monitor project status - and much more. OmniOutliner is the perfect application for anyone who wants to gather together bits of information and impose some sort of order upon them. Like all Omni products, OmniOutliner 2.0 leverages powerful Aqua features to provide a seamless OS X experience with an easy to use interface. "Outlines are just lists of lists, carried on to as many levels as you want. It's an incredibly effective method of organizing and prioritizing information", said Wil Shipley, President of The Omni Group. "With OmniOutliner, you can quickly and easily browse and reorganize structured data - from software project planning to college essays." More information and a free trial download are available at http://www.omnigroup.com/applications/omnioutliner/. New Features OmniOutliner 2.0 comes with an array of new features that support project planning and more detailed task management. Column Types Each Outliner document column now has a type associated with it, to provide column styles and perform functions. Column types include: Rich Text, Text, Checkbox, Date, Number, Duration, and Popup List. Duration allows you to track the time invested in a project in terms of hours and days. Popup List contains user-defined values, such as Priority (High, Medium, Low), or Owner (Alice, Bob, Charlie), that can be assigned to a specific task or item. Column Summary Types Each column can have a summary type, which automatically sets a top level item value (IE "Weekly Grocery Cost") based on the item's corresponding sub values (IE "soda" + "bakery items" + "produce"). Summary values are summed from lower level numbers and durations. Group values can also be hidden on a per-column basis, to display values only at the leaf level. Notes Each item can now have a note that appears in a separate text area below the outline. A special note column displays an icon if an item has a note - making it easy to see which items have attached notes. Numbering Auto-numbering of rows includes multiple numbering styles. Styles may be set on a per-level basis. OmniOutliner 2.0 Licensing and Pricing OmniOutliner can be downloaded as a free trial, with some limited functionality. An OmniOutliner 2.0 license retails for $29.95, and registered users of OmniOutliner 1.0 can upgrade to 2.0 for $9.95.
