Hi everyone,

I'm new with MLO and impressed by the possibilities. Maybe I should rather say 'overwhelmed':p
In the last week I have tried several filters, looked throught the advanced filter as well, but there are quite a couple of things that I'm not grasping yet.

The issue I would like to adress in this question is the following:

Besides the standard workspaces I have created a workspace for 'Today - work' and 'Today - Home'.
Filtering on the context to get the appropriate tasks (work v.s. home) is working. Filtering on startdate is working as well.

However:
Within these views I would like to make a distinction between tasks with a time assigned to them and tasks without a time assigned to them. Furthermore, I would like the hierarchy to be visible, and the parents clickable just as the children.
When I set the following:
  • setting 'show hierarchy' to 'no'
  •  grouping by 'scheduled on time' and then by 'parent'
    • or grouping by 'scheduled on time' then 'top level parent' then 'parent'
  • Sort by time
It looks nice and this is the view I actually wanted. However... the parents itself are non-clickable (it is not possible to tick them off and complete them). I would really like to be able to tick a parent off as well when I decide that the task is completed (even if not all subtasks have been completed).

So actually I would like to have the group 'scheduled on time: yes' with a normal hierarchy and a group 'scheduled on time: no' with a normal hierarchy.

Is this possible? (without making another seperate workspace)

Many thanks in advance:)

sounds to me like using two views could do the trick..

As is it for grouping - logical grouping - based on how MLO works i often mix and match for logical groupings with technical groupings:
- by using dashboards - the broadest information aggregate
- by using views
- by using groupings within views - the finest viewpoint
which is the technical hierachy by information aggregations features - i would say.
Obviously, as you are already doing, by using appropriate filtering.

Cheers -A
