I am managing a project for a product and the information was confidential, but my problem wasn't. So, I wanted to get a 'list' size for the major tasks in the project. And the project is broken down into 'phases' with certain task happening in each phase. I wanted a quick way of knowing how far I am into a project and [%] how complete it is as I near a deadline - but I didn't want to have to manually add up all the subsections and try and determine this number on my own.

Saddly, there's no real work around that I'm aware of - bit of a shame!

Sinder @ 2008-12-18 6:18 UTC (permalink / raw) To: Carsten Dominik; +Cc: emacs-orgmode (Sorry for chiming in a week later.) I think the best way to accomplish this, in that it combines the strengths of other suggestions, is to use properties and column view. Building the structure is pretty easy since you only have to manually create the property drawer under the top-most heading. The rest are inserted automatically when the check boxes are changed while in column view mode (using S-left or S-right). Here's an implementation of your example. Switching to column view shows you the summary count (i.e., [n/m]) for to top level (here [2/8]) AND each of the sub-levels (groceries [1/4], household [1/2], office supplies [0/2]). * [2008-12-15 Mon] :PROPERTIES: :COLUMNS: %30ITEM %CHECKED{X/} :CHECKED_ALL: "[ ]" "[X]" :END: ** groceries *** bananas :PROPERTIES: :CHECKED: [ ] :END: *** apples :PROPERTIES: :CHECKED: [ ] :END: *** oranges :PROPERTIES: :CHECKED: [X] :END: *** spinach :PROPERTIES: :CHECKED: [ ] :END: ** household :PROPERTIES: :CHECKED: [1/2] :END: *** laundry soap :PROPERTIES: :CHECKED: [X] :END: *** toilet paper :PROPERTIES: :CHECKED: [ ] :END: ** office supplies :PROPERTIES: :CHECKED: [0/2] :END: *** calendar for 2009 :PROPERTIES: :CHECKED: [ ] :END: *** printer paper :PROPERTIES: :CHECKED: [ ] :END: As Carsten Dominik so eloquently wrote on 12/11/2008 2:14 AM: > Hi > > There are technical reasons for why I cannot easily summarize all the > lists. > > How about this trick: > > * [2008-12-15 Mon] [1/8] > - groceries ------------------------------------ > - [ ] bananas > - [X] apples > - [ ] oranges > - [ ] spinach > - household ------------------------------------ > - [ ] laundry soap > - [ ] toilet paper > - office supplies ------------------------------ > - [ ] calendar for 2009 > - [ ] printer paper > > > HTH > > - Carsten > > On Dec 10, 2008, at 8:42 PM, Dennis Groves wrote: > >> I have 8 things on the list, but only 4 are seen??? >> >> >> *** [2008-12-15 Mon] [0/4] >> groceries >> - [ ] bananas >> - [ ] apples >> - [ ] oranges >> - [ ] spinach >> household >> - [ ] laundry soap >> - [ ] toilet paper >> office supplies >> - [ ] calendar for 2009 >> - [ ] printer paper >> >> >> Dennis_______________________________________________ >> Emacs-orgmode mailing list >> Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list. >> Emacs-orgmode@gnu.org >> http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-orgmode > > > > _______________________________________________ > Emacs-orgmode mailing list > Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list. > Emacs-orgmode@gnu.org > http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-orgmode ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread
