Log to list format

[David_McCray]

I am looking for a way to have one file (or other structure) for ongoing logging of activities. What would be handy is a way to have it automagically show up in another file under the associated heading. For example, as I log my activities, tag each line with a client name. In the list format, have all items with that particular client show up. Kind of a daily log to report format sorted by client.

Example:
Log
Item 1 #c1
Item 1 #C2
Item 2 #C1
Item 4 #C5

List
C1
Item 1
Item 2
C2
Item 1
C5
Item4

I have the same need. I think this could be usefull once it done:

Dynalist-archiver // Archive your tasks

Hello, I have just finished a first version of dynalist-archiver, a Node.JS module that can archive finished tasks from one document to another. The readme file linked above (hopefully) contains all the information to get started. You can configure what attributes mark a task as “done” in your setup (is checked, has a @done tag, …), you can modify items so they look good in the archive (remove checked status, remove color labels, …), you can group items by date or anything else you want. It’…

The archiver is finished (for now). It could sort of be made to do what you describe, but not entirely.

I think the best solution would be if that grouped list would automatically update, like inline search results. That’s a point brought up in the transclusion discussion, I think. It doesn’t seem that this will be resolved soon (but I may be wrong about that).

Modifying your document through the API to generate those lists is absolutely doable today, provided you feel like hacking together the logic.
