Hi,
I have an .org file I currently use as a TODO list. Everything below a certain
level (currently 3) is a TODO item (of some sort).
Is there a way to tell org-mode to assume any item below this level is by
default a TODO item, such that the agenda view displays all of them which aren't
explicitly marked as DONE?
Thanks,
N

"C-c a t" should show all the TODO items. You may also want to
take a look at "org-agenda-todo-ignore-deadlines",
"org-agenda-todo-ignore-scheduled" and
"org-agenda-todo-ignore-with-date" as well.

you cannot tell Org to treat any such items as TODO items
in the full sense of a TODO item with a keyword.
But you can define an agenda search which finds such items:
C-c a m LEVEL>2/-DONE RET

Thanks for your answer - however, I did come across those, and I don't believe
they would do the job I have in mind, because items must still be explicitly
labelled "TODO" before they will appear in the agenda view.
What I mean is, give a file structure like this, where level 1 is a project
name, and level 2 contain items to do (which are not labelled TODO items,
necessarily):
* SS Organised
** scrub the deck
** man the poopdeck
** DONE splice the mainbrace
* Good ship lollipop
** NEXT lubber's teeth out
(Beware, she bites)
** fix treadmill
** scrub the deck
The workflow is TODO -> NEXT -> DONE, with TODO implicit: I consider "scrub the
deck" a TODO, even though I've not added a TODO label, because it's on level >=
2. This saves typing and reduces clutter. (The level at which TODO items lie
varies depending on my organisation scheme.)
Then I want the TODO agenda view to look something like this, so I can print it
out for reference (ideally without the duplicate TODO inserted in front of each
item, as currently seems to happen, but that's probably another question):
Global list of TODO items of type: ALL
Available with `N r': (0)ALL (1)TODO (2)NEXT (3)DONE
TODO: scrub the deck
TODO: man the poopdeck
NEXT: lubber's teeth out
TODO: fix treadmill
TODO: scrub the deck
It might not be possible to do this currently, which is fine - I just want to
confirm that fact. Perhaps in that case I could write my own extension, or more
preferably, adapt my scheme to something which works with org-mode as it is.
Cheers,
N

Nick,
Try using "m" instead of "t":
C-c a m LEVEL>2/-DONE RET
The "m" does a general tags/props search, instead of requiring a TODO state.
