[O] Clocktable question

2011-05-05 Thread Jason Knight 
I'm working on several grant-funded projects which require not only
the amount of time spent on a project but the start and end times for
each task. I've not been able to figure out how to get clocktable to
do this for me.

If what I've got in my .org files is this:

CLOCK: [2011-05-04 Wed 11:19]--[2011-05-04 Wed 13:22] =  2:03

-- I need my end-of-month report to show the total duration, as well
as the start and end time. How do I accomplish this? Is there
something I can do with the :formatter parameter?

Thanks for your input!

* I hope you can learn how to do this using EMACS OrgMode--best thing
for what you seek to do.

** In the meantime, I suggest using timeclock.el

*** Some functions: (believe me, its really easy to use--puts a log
into ~/.timelog or something like that)

Click mouse-2 on a completion to select it.
In this buffer, type RET to select the completion near point.

Possible completions are:
timeclock-changetimeclock-in
timeclock-modeline-display  timeclock-out
timeclock-reread-logtimeclock-status-string
timeclock-when-to-leave-string  timeclock-workday-elapsed-string
timeclock-workday-remaining-string

* I used to use it all the time; its quick and easy, you easily keep
track of each task you are working on--down to the second.

** As you are exiting emacs, it will automagically query you as to
whether or not to clock out, etc.

I don't know anything about clocks, but if I had to start using them,
I'd start with Bernt Hansen's document:
