The work report is the most important report that you will use. This report shows you your agenda for the day, and the next actions that you can perform in your current context, as well as any warnings that you need to see about the state of your workflow.

Contexts

For context-based work reports, you will first need contexts. For example, you can use these in your config file:

work:
  contexts:
    home: 'ancestor:tag:home'
    office: 'ancestor:tag:office'
    airplane: 'tag:offline'

These specify that, when you're at home, you can only do the tasks that are tagged 'home' or whose parents are tagged as 'home'.

Advanced work reports

You can also configure checks, collumns and a sorter for this report as follows:

work:
  checks:
    - 'property:timewindow'
  columns:
    - 'file'
    - 'state'
    - 'header'
    - 'property:timewindow'
  sorter: 'reverse:property-as-time:timewindow'

Here we configure smos-query to warn us if any of the entries that should be reported is missing a timewindow property. We also specify that the collumns in the report should be the file, the todo state, the header and the timewindow property for each entry. The last line configures smos-query to sort these entries by their timewindow property value. Filters, columns and sorters are all documented on their own pages.

Usage: smos-query work [CONTEXT] [TIME_FILTER] [-f|--filter FILTER] 
                       [--add-column|--project PROJECTION] [--sort SORTER] 
                       [--hide-archived | (-a|--show-archived)] 
                       [--waiting-threshold TIME] [--stuck-threshold TIME]
