Log Events into MindManager Maps using GyroQ
Kevin posted a question on the Gyronix Message Board looking for a method to compile an event log using GyroQ. He suggested using an approach analogous to that used by GyroTimer and even provided a mockup of what he is looking for:
As I mentioned in Top 20 Uses of GyroQ Revisited, the GyroTimer gys and gyt tags remain in my configuration, but I don’t use them much. Perhaps the simplier approach of just logging events would find more use? I’ve placed the code and packed text for a new “elog” tag in the GyroQ Tag Library. As an experiment, I’ll also put a development version of this code on the wiki for collaborative revisions. Perhaps we should call this GyroTwitter :-).
For tutorial purposes, here is how the “elog” tag currently works:
| queue:’_queuefile_’; | Do this later rather than immediately |
| temp:’?|Event Log: Enter or Choose Area|Enter or Choose Area|_rm_areas_?’; | Choose Area for event. A dedicated drop down list can be hard coded here in place of ResultsManager Areas |
| map:create:’EventLog’; | Create event log map if needed |
| select:centraltopic; text:’Event Log for _rm_me_’; |
Add central topic text |
| select:main; select:text:’Project Logs’; create:main:’Project Logs’; |
Create the “Project Log” main topic if needed |
|
select:subtopic; select:text:’_temp_’; create:subtopic:’_temp_’; |
Create the area topic if needed |
| select:subtopic; select:text:’_today_’; create:subtopic:’_today_’; |
Create branch for today if needed |
| new:subtopic:’_time_ _queueitem’; | Add the event entered at the GyroQ prompt |

Excellent! Exactly what I was after and it works a treat. Many thanks.
