Hi all, I have a nice outline set up in column view and would like to capture different versions of this into org-tables. There is far too many properties to get quick overviews, e.g. one table-capture I'd like to do contains only the task name and the committed delivery in ascending order, and another would contain only task and task-lead in ascending order. I have tried to find information and implement this but not succeeded so far, so apologies if I have missed any key information in usage, but I only manage to capture one defined table view, as given by the COLUMNS: property in the root of the capture tree. One version I tried was to capture this (entire) view and then export the subsequent views using radio-tables and orgtbl-to-orgtbl with :skipcolumn, but couldn't figure out the proper syntax? (info "(org)Capturing column view") (info "(org)Radio tables") Thanks, -- Johnny

I attach an example file below, based on your ideas, and put a subheading with the desired result below the actual result. Hope this clarifies a bit. :) [-- Attachment #2: column-view-capture-example --] [-- Type: text/plain, Size: 2799 bytes --] * Outline structure :PROPERTIES: :COLUMNS: %20ITEM %lead %review %approve :ID: e48fa5a5-864b-46cd-a578-b88fe5f570be :END: ** Topic A *** Subtopic 1 :PROPERTIES: :lead: john :review: jane :approve: jake :END: ** Topic B *** Subtopic 2 :PROPERTIES: :approve: jim :lead: kim :review: tim :END: * Capture outline structure ** Only lead showing :PROPERTIES: :COLUMNS: %15ITEM %lead :END: #+BEGIN: columnview :hlines 1 :id e48fa5a5-864b-46cd-a578-b88fe5f570be | ITEM | lead | review | approve | |---------------------+------+--------+---------| | * Outline structure | | | | | ** Topic A | | | | | *** Subtopic 1 | john | jane | jake | | ** Topic B | | | | | *** Subtopic 2 | kim | tim | jim | #+END *** Desired result | ITEM | lead | |---------------------+------| | * Outline structure | | | ** Topic A | | | *** Subtopic 1 | john | | ** Topic B | | | *** Subtopic 2 | kim | ** Only review showing :PROPERTIES: :COLUMNS: %15ITEM %review :END: #+BEGIN: columnview :hlines 1 :id e48fa5a5-864b-46cd-a578-b88fe5f570be | ITEM | lead | review | approve | |---------------------+------+--------+---------| | * Outline structure | | | | | ** Topic A | | | | | *** Subtopic 1 | john | jane | jake | | ** Topic B | | | | | *** Subtopic 2 | kim | tim | jim | #+END *** Desired result | ITEM | review | |---------------------+--------| | * Outline structure | | | ** Topic A | | | *** Subtopic 1 | jane | | ** Topic B | | | *** Subtopic 2 | tim | ** Only approve showing :PROPERTIES: :COLUMNS: %15ITEM %approve :END: #+BEGIN: columnview :hlines 1 :id e48fa5a5-864b-46cd-a578-b88fe5f570be | ITEM | lead | review | approve | |---------------------+------+--------+---------| | * Outline structure | | | | | ** Topic A | | | | | *** Subtopic 1 | john | jane | jake | | ** Topic B | | | | | *** Subtopic 2 | kim | tim | jim | #+END *** Desired result | ITEM | approve | |---------------------+---------| | * Outline structure | | | ** Topic A | | | *** Subtopic 1 | jake | | ** Topic B | | | *** Subtopic 2 | jim | [-- Attachment #3: Type: text/plain, Size: 13 bytes --] -- Johnny
