I have been looking at trying to track training performance with org-mode. I currently just set a reoccurring schedule with note logging on state change, but wondered if there was a way to log values within this :LOGBOOK: logs? It is not a lot of effort to simply type in ":abc: 5", etc in the note window. The idea being it would be nice to use column view to collect these various logged values. ---- ** TODO Training :LOGBOOK: - State "DONE" [2012-10-29 Mon 16:26] \\ :abc: 5 :xyz: 9 - State "DONE" [2012-10-30 Tue 16:25] \\ :abc: 6 :xyz: 8 :PROPERTIES: :LAST_REPEAT: [2012-10-30 Tue 16:26] :COLUMNS: %25ITEM %10abc %10xyz :END: <2012-10-29 Mon +1d> ----
Wondered if anyone had any thoughts about this?
I am trying to utilise the LOGBOOK and I think column view is the way
to go.
Many thanks,

Nope, you need to store stuff like ":abc: 5" in the PROPERTIES drawer, not in the LOGBOOK drawer. > It is not a lot of effort to simply type in ":abc: 5", etc in the note > window.

Perhaps you can use `org-after-todo-state-change-hook' to store new values for abc and xyz as new properties (see `org-set-property') or new variables (with a :VAR: property). But you'd lose the history of their values. This is the only thing I can think of right now. HTH, -- Bastien
