Jan, 2 suggestions:

1.  how about using date in the *headline itself?*:

--------------------test.org-----------
* [2009-04-01 mer] time
** 1st task
   CLOCK: [2009-04-01 mer 15:20]--[2009-04-01 mer 15:28] =>  0:08
** 2nd task
   CLOCK: [2009-04-01 mer 15:18]--[2009-04-01 mer 15:28] =>  0:10

#+BEGIN: clocktable :maxlevel 2 :scope file
Clock summary at [2009-04-01 mer 15:29]

Carsten, is it possible to have, as a special property, 
the value of the headline ?
.. shouldn't be complicated, it's already extracted 
for clocktables.. ;-)

Re: Clocking work time with a date not a time only

[Sébastien Vauban]

Hi Giovanni and Jan,

>> I use Clocking work time function for a logging my work. [...] I would like
>> have in a table not a times but a dates too.

I have related questions on this subject as well...

Up to now, I was clocking time with timeclock-x under Emacs, and files such
as:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
i 2009/02/02 08:45:00 Client1
o 2009/02/02 09:35:00


>> Reading my mails.
i 2009/02/02 09:35:00 Client2
o 2009/02/02 12:30:00


>> Analysing their stuff for CCh.
i 2009/02/02 13:35:00 Client1
o 2009/02/02 17:30:00


>> Written the big report.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

This is nice because it is chronological and I have notes about every clocked
time, but that's all...

Org beats this by orders of magnitude. That's why I've decided to begin now to
use Org as well for that.

Here is my example for these first 2 days of April:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---

* 2009-04

*** Client1
    :LOGBOOK:
    CLOCK: [2009-04-01 Wed 09:05]--[2009-04-01 Wed 12:00] =>  2:55

Fantastic is that I can check how much time I've globally worked on which
project for this day and for this month at the same time.

Though:

- how can I associate a one-line comment to every block of time that I clock?
  The goal is to be able to justify, later, what I did on the different days I
  worked for them (and put that in their bill).

  Am I forced to add sub-headlines for every block of time?  Is there another
  better (clearer) way to do?

- is there a possibility to get back, out of such a file, a chronological view
  of the whole file (where all projects are mixed)?

Once again, and mainly to Carsten, thanks a lot^100 for the great work you've
done and shared... This is one fantastic way to lock me more in Emacs, which
is something I love.

Best regards,
  Seb

This is what the timeline buffer is for:

C-c a L

to get the buffer,

then press `l' or even `C-u l'

to get logging information included into this time-sorted display

Hi Carsten,

First, thanks for answering so fast.

Done. Works as expected. Thanks.

Done. But partially works...

Pressing `l' or `C-u l' gives me the same results:

Any idea?

Re: Re: Clocking work time with a date not a time only

[Carsten Dominik]

No, the notes are not displayed in the time line, that is correct.
Press space to see the note or use follow-mode.  Hmm, that might not  
work in a drawer.........

Something to think about.

I just tried, the drawers will be openend when you press SPC or when  
you use follow-mode (toggle it with "f").  So you will be able to see  
the information, even if it is in another window.

What is the difference between `l' and `C-u l', then?

I thought that "press[ing] `C-u l' to get logging information included into
this time-sorted display" just meant that...

That is simply great!  Waouwww.

But, still, is there any obvious way to get a view similar to that one (it may
be completely different -- just speaking of the information that's somehow
displayed)?

The fact is, in my company (where I just am an employee), I have to give out
to our accountant 2 things at the end of every month:

    o   a list of time spent per client (the table is great therefore);

    o   a chronological view, with notes, so that she can put dates and
        summary justifications in the bill she sends to them.

The first one is available as is. My question goes for the second type of
information.

Best regards. And, once again, many thanks for your helping handS!

C-u l  will also list logged state changes, this is described in the  
manual.

You know, this is actually a very useful idea.  I have added this

I had read the info about the command:

    ,----
    | l runs the command org-agenda-log-mode, which is an interactive Lisp function
    | in `org-agenda.el'.
    |
    | It is bound to l, <menu-bar> <Agenda> <View> <Show Logbook entries>.
    |
    | (org-agenda-log-mode &optional special)
    |
    | Toggle log mode in an agenda buffer.
    | With argument special, show all possible log items, not only the ones
    | configured in `org-agenda-log-mode-items'.
    | With a double `C-u' prefix arg, show *only* log items, nothing else.
    `----

and understood, out of that, that it did what I was expecting (show all
possible log items --> notes?).

Never mind. You've just done it... THANKS A LOT!

Re: Clocking work time with a date not a time only

[Sébastien Vauban]

Hi Carsten,

Just a small bug to report. With such a source file:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
* 2009-04

#+BEGIN: clocktable :maxlevel 2 :scope file
Clock summary at [2009-04-03 Fri 14:05]

| L | Headline     | Time    |       |
|---+--------------+---------+-------|
|   | *Total time* | *12:00* |       |
|---+--------------+---------+-------|
| 1 | 2009-03      | 12:00   |       |
| 2 | Client2      |         | 12:00 |
#+END:

*** Client2
    :LOGBOOK:
    CLOCK: [2009-04-02 Thu 09:00]--[2009-04-02 Thu 10:55] =>  1:55
    CLOCK: [2009-04-03 Fri 07:00]--[2009-04-03 Fri 17:05] => 10:05
    - Demo the whole day in France
    :END:
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I get such a summary:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Thursday    2 April 2009
  Clocked:   (1:55) Client2
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Friday      3 April 2009
  Clocked:   (0:05) Client2
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

The small bug in that, in that agenda view, the time is truncated: `0:05'
instead of `10:05'...

Totals in summary are correct, it's only a presentation issue.

Best regards,
  Seb

Clocking work time with a date not a time only

[Jan Buchal]

Hello,


I'm a beginners in org mode. I would like say that org mode is very nice
for me because I'm blind so outline mode is very useful for navigation
etc... 

I'm not sure if my question is answered in org documentation but I don't
find what I need.

I use Clocking work time function for a logging my work. With keys C-c C-x
C-i I start a clocking and with C-c C-x C-o I finish my clocking. the
function put something like:

  CLOCK: [2009-03-30 Po 11:00]--[2009-03-30 Po 11:38] =>  0:38

and then I use the dynamic region for summary of my all times. But I
would like have in a table not a times but a dates too. Is it any way?
the table can seams for example so:

#+BEGIN: clocktable :maxlevel 2 :scope file
Clock summary at [2009-03-31 Út 15:21]

| L | Headline                             | Time   |
|---+--------------------------------------+--------|
|   | *Total time*                         | *0:38* |
|---+--------------------------------------+--------|
| 1 | project one: | 2009-03-31 0:38   |
#+END:

Also not a time only but date plus time. Is it possible?

thanks
