[Orgmode] Question about agenda
I have an org file which the agenda sees in which I put an outline item with notes from a meeting. The header for this item is as follows: * Tasks ... * * Meeting with SCHEDULED: <2008-10-06 Mon> ... What I was somewhat surprised to see was that this continues to roll down my agenda, e.g.: Wednesday 8 October 2008 smite: Sched. 3x: Meeting with X I think this means that I don't really understand the meaning of SCHEDULED, nor do I understand how the agendas are composed. But I'm looking at the info manual now, and I'm not actually enlightened. Is there something I should do to tag something SCHEDULED like this so that it no longer appears in my agenda view as something still to be done? Is there a HAPPENED tag, or something like that? Or, is it the case that I should only use SCHEDULED with todo items? Any guidance much appreciated. Best, R ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

Is there a HAPPENED tag, or something like that? When something is SCHEDULED it continues to appear in agenda as long as it is not marked DONE. You can do that (marking something DONE) using C-c C-d in the Org file or using "t" from agenda view. -- Manish ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

Meetings seem like things that should be scheduled, but they are not TODO items, so they don't seem like the sort of thing that should get a TODO marker (which it what "DONE" is), and they don't seem like the sort of thing that should require an active dismissal. So it seems like "SCHEDULED" is just the Wrong Thing for stuff like my meeting. Is there any different flag I could use that would give me a single appearance in the Agenda? thanks, r ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

Most of my meetings are of recurring nature so I never really thought about this but I see what you mean. > > So it seems like "SCHEDULED" is just the Wrong Thing for stuff like my > meeting.

I was not aware of an item appearing just once if SCHEDULED keyword was omitted as suggested by Bernt.

I agree that the behavior of the SCHEDULED keyword is counter-intuitive. For all of my meetings I just include a time stamp C-c. (cntrl-c period) in the header * one time meeting <2008-10-08 Wed 11:00> or for repeating meetings * weekly meeting <2008-10-08 Wed 11:00 +1w> -- Eric > > -- Manish > > > ___ > Emacs-orgmode mailing list > Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list. > Emacs-orgmode@gnu.org > http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-orgmode ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
