Hi David,
in the thread "Contracts in org-mode" (Message-ID:
<hgohio$dk8$1@ger.gmane.org>), org-expiry was brought to my attention.
Here's a description of what I try to achieve: I have several
Workorders (WO) with different clients. I only can do work for them if
a WO has been signed and is active. In my org files, such a WO gets the
keyword "ACTIVE". When a WO expires, it gets a keyword "EXPIRED". I
have agenda views for "ACTIVE" and "EXPIRED" so that I can see at one
glance what is active and what needs to be renewed.
Right now, I manually change the keyword from ACTIVE to EXPIRED (see my
example file at the end), but it would be awesome, i.e. really helpful
if I could use the agenda view with all ACTIVE WOs and do M-x
org-expiry-process-entries.
Does this elaboration make sense to you? I'm open for any kinds of
suggestions here ...
Thanks
Markus
