Hi Jason,

from your description it is not really clear to me what your setup is.

Hello, apologies if these questions are documented somewhere (in fact, I be= t they are, just haven't been able to find them). =C2=A0I am a newcomer= to both orgmode and emacs in general, so I am still on the steep side of t= he learning curve. =C2=A0I have spent several days poking around the docume= ntation, watching some screencasts, looking at gmane, etc with no success s= olving my issue, so I hope someone can point me in the right direction.

The group I work with is using orgmode to track tasks for our projects. =C2= =A0This is currently in one big file (with various tags) that has at the bo= ttom a dynamic table

What do you mean by "dynamic table"? =C2=A0Can you show us the re= levant section of the file?

Hi Carsten, sure, here is the wrapping chunk of code = =C2=A0(sorry I used the wrong word, from page 69 of the manual, what I mean= t to say was 'Dynamic Block'):

#+BEGIN: co= lumnview :hlines 3 :id 85c58add-2c45-48d5-bff3-6b4cd4f5e20

=C2=A0=C2=A0<output>

#+TBLFM:

#+END:

Hope that makes the rest of my question more c= lear, thanks for the response!

that we periodically export to html and put up on a server for easier viewi= ng of the current state of tasks. =C2=A0We store this project file in a git= repo. =C2=A0I have been asked to do two major things and two minor (at lea= st in importance) things to streamline this.

=3D=3D Major =3D=3D
1. Move this dynamic table out into its own file to reduce the size of the = main project file (I am not the only one in the group not that familiar wit= h emacs --yet).
2. Have this table be updated/exported automatically when saving the projec= t file.

>From what I have seen, dynamic tables are meant to just be another view of = the data in a given file, so I am wondering if this is even the right appro= ach. =C2=A0The update/export seems likely to be some org-mode post-save com= mand. =C2=A0If this is the case, guess I'll have to figure out how to w= rite some elisp =C2=A0:-/

=3D=3D Minor =3D=3D
1. After automatically updating/exporting the table file, upload that to ou= r server as well.
2. Commit the file to git from the buffer (pretty sure this is just a matte= r of using the git mode I have seen mentioned, but thought I'd throw it= out there in case there is another suggestion).

Hopefully these questions are reasonable and I haven't missed obvious d= irections on how to do these things. =C2=A0I appreciate any assistance from= members of the list. =C2=A0(Also, really liking orgmode/emacs in general s= o far, fwiw).

Thanks,
