Thanks for your answer - however, I did come across those, and I don't believe
they would do the job I have in mind, because items must still be explicitly
labelled TODO before they will appear in the agenda view.

What I mean is, give a file structure like this, where level 1 is a project
name, and level 2 contain items to do (which are not labelled TODO items,
necessarily):

* SS Organised
** scrub the deck
** man the poopdeck
** DONE splice the mainbrace

* Good ship lollipop
** NEXT lubber's teeth out
(Beware, she bites)
** fix treadmill
** scrub the deck

The workflow is TODO - NEXT - DONE, with TODO implicit: I consider scrub the
deck a TODO, even though I've not added a TODO label, because it's on level =
2. This saves typing and reduces clutter. (The level at which TODO items lie
varies depending on my organisation scheme.)


Then I want the TODO agenda view to look something like this, so I can print it
out for reference (ideally without the duplicate TODO inserted in front of each
item, as currently seems to happen,  but that's probably another question):

Global list of TODO items of type: ALL
Available with `N r': (0)ALL (1)TODO (2)NEXT (3)DONE
  TODO:   scrub the deck
  TODO:   man the poopdeck
  NEXT:   lubber's teeth out
  TODO:   fix treadmill
  TODO:   scrub the deck



It might not be possible to do this currently, which is fine - I just want to
confirm that fact.  Perhaps in that case I could write my own extension, or more
preferably, adapt my scheme to something which works with org-mode as it is.

Cheers,

N

Nick,

Try using m instead of t:

C-c a m LEVEL2/-DONE RET

The m does a general tags/props search, instead of requiring a TODO state.

 Hi,

 I have an .org file I currently use as a TODO list.  Everything
 below a certain level (currently 3) is a TODO item (of some
 sort).

 Is there a way to tell org-mode to assume any item below this
 level is by default a TODO item, such that the agenda view
 displays all of them which aren't explicitly marked as DONE?

C-c a t should show all the TODO items.  You may also want to
take a look at org-agenda-todo-ignore-deadlines,
org-agenda-todo-ignore-scheduled and
org-agenda-todo-ignore-with-date as well.
