Re: [MLO] Grouping tasks with multiple contexts

Out of sheer curiousity, does that #person'sname denote people in MLO? I am a complete newcomer to both MLO and GTD and this caught my eye. I find it very intriguing since I like the concept of contexts and being able to sort by something like a person's name.

Have a great (hopefully not so hot) sunday,

Hi again Kitus,

Try this:

In the context filter select (all)

Click the checkbox for “Add Advanced” and click the “setup” button

Click “add rule” if necessary

In the first dropdown select “ContextsText”

In the second dropdown select “contains”

In the third box type “@wait” (without the quotes. MLO will add its own quotes)

Click OK

Use the GroupBy button to group by context.

 

You will see listings for @wait, #john and #james. Each task will appear twice, once in @wait and once in #somebody. Note that if you have other contexts like @waiting that contain “@wait” they will be picked up as well.

 

Suggestion, if the every entry in @wait also has a #somebody context, you could make life simpler by getting rid of the @wait context and assigning a character like “]” to mean “wait” – then you would have contexts like “]John” and “]James” and your to-do listing would filter on ContextText that starts with ]. One advantage would be that each task would appear only once.

Subject: [MLO] Grouping tasks with multiple contexts

 

Hello again,

 

I would be glad if anybody could give me a hand with this.

 

Say I have one "wainting for" task which I want to track.

 

TASK: Waiting for John to set up a meeting | Contexts: @wait, #John

 

If I only display tasks with contexts @wait (filtering @wait on the left column), and now I want to group by John, James, etc., how do I do it? 

 

Thanks a lot in advance everyone,
