That's a little too abstract. A concrete example. Say, your secretary is on duty only Mondays and Wednesdays from 8:00 to 12:00 and Fridays from 8:00 to 10:00. This is a resource that enables or disables you to do certain things. So you want to see these dates in your Day Agenda View, but not mixed with your own appointments. You'd rather have this information at the end of the Day Agenda, maybe in a different color and/or separated by a line, like this: Montag 10 Mai 2010 W19 Office: 10:00-12:00 Meeting with the Boss Lunch: 12:00-13:00 Meet Jens in the Pub Teaching: 14:00-16:00 Lecture Project_X: 16:00-18:00 Preparation Meeting Leisure: 20:15 Cinema ------------------------------------- /from here in a different color/ Office: 8:00-12:00 Secretary is present Family: 14:00-20:00 Mary will not be at home On_Holiday: Ina The last entry, which says that Ina is on holiday today, can principally be solved as: ** Holidays :PROPERTIES: :CATEGORY: On_Holiday :END: %%(diary-block 05 05 2010 14 05 2010) Ina But the other entries can not be done like this, I guess. These contain certain times of the day, and the first one (secretary) is thought to be a _repeating_ date. How is that possible with Orgmode? Any ideas? Thanks, Sven
