To create sparse trees and special lists with selection based on properties, the same commands are used as for tag searches (see Tag Searches).
org-match-sparse-tree
) ¶Create a sparse tree with all matching entries. With a C-u prefix argument, ignore headlines that are not a TODO line.
org-tags-view
) ¶Create a global list of tag/property matches from all agenda files.
org-tags-view
) ¶Create a global list of tag matches from all agenda files, but check
only TODO items and force checking of subitems (see the option
org-tags-match-list-sublevels
).
The syntax for the search string is described in Matching tags and properties.
There is also a special command for creating sparse trees based on a single property:
Create a sparse tree based on the value of a property. This first prompts for the name of a property, and then for a value. A sparse tree is created with all entries that define this property with the given value. If you enclose the value in curly braces, it is interpreted as a regular expression and matched against the property values (see Regular Expressions).
