This makes it easier for some applications to detect the correct encoding and interpret your characters properly. If youвЂ™re having trouble persuading other applications to read the non-ASCII characters in your CSV file, such as accented letters or non-Roman characters, try exporting with one of the other encoding options. Comma Separated Values (.csv)Д¬SV is a common, plain-text format that can be read by many different applications. If you export calendar events, you can also choose whether each task should become to a single event, regardless of how long it may be (One event per task), or whether tasks should be broken into chunks when they span working and non-working hours (One event per work period). You can choose to export the tasks as calendar events or as items on a to-do list. This is the calendar format used by Apple iCal, Apple Calendar, and many other calendar applications. This is useful when you want to use the filtering feature to make a new OmniPlan file of tasks matching certain criteria - just filter the tasks and make sure that Only Filtered Contents is checked when you go to export the project. Of course, OmniPlan can export to its own format. If you export a project while a filter is on, you can choose whether to export the entire project or only the contents that are visible. Note that not all aspects of an OmniPlan document can be represented in all file formats if youвЂ™re working in tandem with others, consider Publishing and Subscribing. When you export, a new file is created, leaving your original document as it is on the screen. To export an OmniPlan file, choose File в–ё Export ( Option-Command-E).

OmniPlan can write files in several formats for use with other applications. The title of an object becomes the task title, and the hierarchy of connection lines determines the hierarchy of task groups. Task lists can be imported from OmniGraffle diagrams. If the outline has multiple levels of hierarchy, task groups are created. A column mapping dialog appears, where you can choose which outline column should correspond to which field of task information. Task lists can be imported from OmniOutliner files. Tab-delimited files are formatted like CSV files, except that tab characters are used instead of commas to separate fields. To see how the data in a CSV file should be formatted, export an OmniPlan document as a CSV file and open the result in any text editor.

OmniPlan can read comma-separated or tab-delimited values from a plain-text file. The following file formats are recognized and can be imported by OmniPlan 3: Comma-Separated Values (.csv) and Tab-delimited text files (.txt) opld Dashboard file), choose File в–ё Open ( Command-O), and be sure that Allow import of other recognized file types is checked in the Open dialog. When itвЂ™s time to import a file other than an OmniPlan. The file is imported into a brand new OmniPlan document, which you can then edit, save, or export. You can open files of these types in OmniPlan the same way you would open an OmniPlan document.

OmniPlan understands several other applicationsвЂ™ file formats.
