Agenda clock reports and tag filters

Agenda clock reports and tag filters

[Bernt Hansen]

Hi,

Dynamic clock reports can be filtered with :tags so they only show clock
results that match that tag.

Is it possible to automatically apply the current filter list in
org-agenda-filter for the agenda clock report you get with 'R'?  I'd
like some way to add :tags 'org-agenda-filter (or something similar) to
org-agenda-clockreport-parameter-plist so the displayed agenda clock
report shows only tasks that match the filter.

Is this possible?

Thanks,
Bernt

That is what you get if you hang 100 commits behind :)

Try `C-u R'.

Awesome :) .. and I'm up-to-date now ... I just didn't know about the
prefix for R in the agenda.  :)

:)  I only mean that normally you used to see the commits as they come  
in and you
might have noticed this feature when it was implemented...

Not that changing the filter after getting the clock report with `C-u  
R' will not change the clock report along - this would slow down the  
filter changes.  So you need to refresh the agenda to update the clock  
table as well.

Yes I played with it yesterday and it works great!  C-u R makes the
clock report use the current filter, changing the filter and updating
with 'g' updates the clock report using the current filter set.

This is another great example of 'hey it would be great if we could do
[this] in org-mode' and finding out it is already implemented.

Awesome work!!

As I wrote in a
[[http://mid.gmane.org/80tyjdl89g.fsf%40mundaneum.com][previous thread]],

   "I would privilege coherency of sums above small delay in table appearance.
    You know, when we look at tables for chasing time, we really need
    trustable figures.

    In fact, I don't really understand your argument: if I want quick reports,
    I would just choose for the unfiltered view. If I need detailed sums of
    clocked times, I would go for the "filtrable" view (by C-u R) and would
    accept a little delay.

    If you really don't share this vision, could you at least make this
    customizable? TIA."

I'll try to provide us with such a patch.

Now, regarding the contents of the table itself, I have a small question:
*how* can we configure the report in order *to stop showing lines* (= files)
that have *zero time*?

For example, this is what I have:

| File                 | Headline                             | Time   |      |

with, in this case, the info I'm looking at way below the screen...

Hi Seb,

I use the following:

,----
| org-agenda-clockreport-parameter-plist is a variable defined in `org-agenda.el'.
| Its value is 
| (:link nil :maxlevel 2 :fileskip0 t)
`----

HTH,
Bernt

Of course... I did not think at that variable anymore.

Thanks for your speedy answer!

Am I right if I say that the ":compact t" option is not allowed, or does not
have any effect for a "columnview" table?

#+BEGIN: columnview :hlines 1 :id local :compact t
| Task                                    | Estim. |
|-----------------------------------------+--------|
| *** Excel table                         |    150 |
| **** WP 2 -- Pilot ready for deployment |     40 |
| ***** Finalize the report               |     10 |
| ***** Deploy a shared instance          |     20 |
| ***** Support notes                     |     10 |
| **** WP 3 -- Evolution                  |     50 |
| ***** Add new basic reports             |     50 |
#+END:

Shouldn't these be based on the same "table" core as the "clockreport"?  Or is
it possible to emulate one within the other?

Best regards,
  Seb
