Clocktable parameters

Clocktable parameters

[Colin Baxter 😺]

Hello,

I find the differences between the variables

(1) org-clocktable-defaults
(2) org-agenda-clockreport-parameter-plist

hard to understand.

Ok, (1) seems reasonably clear. It's described in `info' (there's no
doc-string). The variable (2) confuses me. According to its doc string
(there's no `info' mention) it gives parameters for a clock table in
the daily and weekly agendas. How is that different from (1)?

Am I correct in thinking (1) is primarily for a clock table not
associated with the agenda? Quite how such a clocktable would arise is
unclear to me.

I would appreciate some pointers or a reference - thank you.


Best wishes,

Colin Baxter.

8.4.2 The clock table section of the manual described the clocktables
you can create inside Org buffers. org-clocktable-defaults apply for
those clocktables.

org-agenda-clockreport-parameter-plist only applies to
org-agenda-clockreport-mode inside agenda views. org-clocktable-defaults
is disregarded inside Org agendas.

Best,
Ihor

Thank you very much for this explanation.
