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,

The short answer is (I am fairly certain) that you currently can’t have a view which just has groups based on your people contexts.  If you group by context, then MLO identifies all the contexts of all the tasks that are selected by the filter and creates a group for each one  of these.

 

My recent post suggested  one approach – where the grouping mechanism allows the user to choose (and order) the group headings but I have just had a better idea based on this scenario.

 

That users can build Lists of contexts (ideally specifying an order as part of this process).   So in this case,  Kitus would be able build a ‘People Context’ List  identifying and ordering all the contexts that relate to people.   And then when specifying the Grouping on a view, he would specify Context List as the grouping criteria and select the List and this would present a view where group headings were just the ‘People Contexts’ in the list
