I apologize if that's the case. If not, is = there anyone with any insights? Basically, I'm just looking for a way to narrow the scope of the clock = total to the current iteration of task, in the context of the column = view of the agenda. Comparing effort to total doesn't make a lot of = sense if the former is an estimate per iteration and the latter is an = total over all iterations. At least not to me. There's always the likelihood that I'm just missing = something. =97 Michael On Aug 1, 2011, at 11:36 AM, Michael Gilbert wrote: > I use the effort and clocking features of OM to a large degree and am = trying to deepen that further.
