NAME

Palm::Progect::Record - Individual Records of the Progect Database

SYNOPSIS

    for my $rec (@{ $progect->records }) {
        my $description = $rec->description;
        my $priority    = $rec->priority;
        my $category    = $rec->category_name;
        print "[$priority] {$category} $description\n";
    }

DESCRIPTION

Each Palm::Progect object contains a list of records in its records method.

Each record is a Palm::Progect::Record object.

METHODS

description

The text of the record

note

The note attached to the record, if any. If the record does not have a note, then this value will be false.

type

The type of the record

Type will be one of the six types of records:

RECORD_TYPE_PROGRESS

RECORD_TYPE_NUMERIC

RECORD_TYPE_ACTION

RECORD_TYPE_INFO

RECORD_TYPE_EXTENDED

RECORD_TYPE_LINK

These symbols are available from the Palm::Progect::Constants module.

For instance:

    use Palm::Progect::Constants;

    if ($rec->type == RECORD_TYPE_ACTION) {
        print "The record is an action item!\n";
    }

priority

Priority of the item, 1 - 5, or 0, for No priority.

completed

The value of this field depends on the type of the record.

For action items, completed is true if the record has been completed, false otherwise.

For progress items, completed is the percent complete, a value from 0-100.

For numeric items (e.g. 5/20), completed reflects the percent complete (see completed_actual and completed_limit, below). Note that setting the completed method will not affect completed_actual or completed_limit.

completed_actual

completed_limit

Numeric items indicate their 'completeness' with an arbitrary ratio: Some value out of another value, for instance 5 out of 20, or 5/20, where 5 is the completed_actual and 20 is the completed_limit.

level

The indent level of the record.

has_next

True if the record has another record following it, false otherwise.

has_child

True if the record contains another record, false otherwise.

has_prev

True if the record follows another record, false otherwise.

is_opened

True if the record is open, revealing the records it contains, false otherwise.

has_todo

True if the record links to a record in the todo database, false otherwise.

date_due

The due date of the record, in unix time format (i.e. seconds since the epoch). If the record does not have a due date then this value will be false.

category_name

The name of the record's category, if any. If you set category_name to the name of a category that doesn't yet exist, then that category will be created.
