Entries title in agenda view

Entries title in agenda view

Hi,

I did not find what I want in the documentation, so here I am.

I've entries in the form:
* Customers
** MyCustomer
*** Project
**** Meeting to do some stuff
<2010-06-21 Mon>


In the agenda view (C-c a a) I see

Monday     21 June 2010
   Meeting to do some stuff

Problem is that i really lacks of context. I've to scroll down to the
entry to read the echo area.

Is there anyway to change the entry text to include its parent headings,
or part of them?

You can set the CATEGORY property of each customer as the customer name,
for instance. If you need more context, set the CATEGORY property of the
project with something that tells you the customer and the project.

By default, the agenda view includes the CATEGORY property. Have you by
chance customized org-agenda-prefix-format?

A couple of solutions here:

1. Add a category (assuming org-agenda-prefix-format) is set to display
   categories.

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
* Customers
** MyCustomer
   :PROPERTIES:
   :CATEGORY: mycustomer
   :END:
*** Project
**** Meeting to do some stuff
 <2010-06-21 Mon>
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Day-agenda (W25):
Monday     21 June 2010 W25
  mycustomer: Meeting to do some stuff
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

2. Use tags and set the agenda to display inherited tags:

(setq org-agenda-show-inherited-tags t)

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
* Customers
** MyCustomer							 :mycustomer:
   :PROPERTIES:
   :CATEGORY: mycustomer
   :END:
*** Project							   :projectA:
**** Meeting to do some stuff
 <2010-06-21 Mon>
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Day-agenda (W25):
Monday     21 June 2010 W25
  mycustomer: Meeting to do some stuff                    :mycustomer:projectA::
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Best,
Matt
