Hello,
Let's say I'm making an estimate for a work, and have this Org file:
#+begin_src org
#+COLUMNS: %40ITEM(Task) %6Effort(Estim.){:}
* Development
:PROPERTIES:
:ID: fc314ab6-5bdc-4a2d-9c2d-d9aece03a864
:END:
** Task 1
:PROPERTIES:
:Effort: 1:00
:END:
** Task 2
*** Task 2a
:PROPERTIES:
:Effort: 1:00
:END:
*** Task 2b
:PROPERTIES:
:Effort: 1:00
:END:
#+end_src
Now, if I want a summary of the work to be done, along with totals, I put
(for example, up to 3 levels):
#+BEGIN: columnview :hlines 1 :id "fc314ab6-5bdc-4a2d-9c2d-d9aece03a864"
:maxlevel 3
| Task | Estim. |
|---------------+--------|
| * Development | 3:00 |
| ** Task 1 | 1:00 |
| ** Task 2 | 2:00 |
| *** Task 2a | 1:00 |
| *** Task 2b | 1:00 |
#+END:
Though, this is hard to read for other people: they think, at first sight,
that the numbers must be added, while they already are summed up.
What I would like is a view like this one:
#+BEGIN: clocktable :maxlevel 3 :scope file
Clock summary at [2011-11-09 Wed 16:45]
| Headline | Time | | |
|-------------+------+------+------|
| Total time | 4:00 | | |
|-------------+------+------+------|
| Development | 4:00 | | |
| Task 1 | | 1:00 | |
| Task 2 | | 2:00 | |
| Task 2a | | | 1:00 |
| Task 2b | | | 1:00 |
#+END:
which we get with CLOCK lines:
#+begin_src org
* Development
:LOGBOOK:
CLOCK: [2011-11-09 Wed 10:00]--[2011-11-09 Wed 11:00] => 1:00
:END:
** Task 1
:LOGBOOK:
CLOCK: [2011-11-09 Wed 11:00]--[2011-11-09 Wed 12:00] => 1:00
:END:
** Task 2
*** Task 2a
:LOGBOOK:
CLOCK: [2011-11-09 Wed 12:00]--[2011-11-09 Wed 13:00] => 1:00
:END:
*** Task 2b
:LOGBOOK:
CLOCK: [2011-11-09 Wed 13:00]--[2011-11-09 Wed 14:00] => 1:00
:END:
#+end_src
I don't think this is currently possible; but maybe some of you have found
workarounds, or developed something in this direction?
Best regards,
Seb
