C-c C-x C-d will total time for a task including times on a subtask. -Bernt ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

What I'd like to be able to is clock in from any sub-task and be clocked into the *top-level* task, not the task I'm clocking in from. Is that feasible? Or am I too confusing?

There is nothing I'm aware of that is built in which will accomplish what you want. You might be able to use the org-clock-in-hook and custom lisp code to clock in the top-most parent task. -Bernt ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

Summing i always hierarchical, so the time will be shown in the parent time anyway. - Carsten ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

The reason why I'm asking is I started out with clocking tasks using a really simple setup (I consider myself a bloody org newbie) where I only had level 1 tasks. Now, I've added level 2 and level 3 tasks, and I wondered if my sudden clocking of level 2 tasks would screw up the clock summary. Good to know that it won't, this'll help me in using org more effciently. Thanks for org-mode, btw, it's a really great thing! Markus ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread
