View Filters
View filters define saved lists of notes.
Common Filter Ideas
| Goal | Filter direction |
|---|---|
| Active projects | type is Project and status is Active |
| Drafts | type is Article and status is Draft |
| People follow-up | type is Person and date is before today |
| Recent work | modified date is within a recent range |
Sorting
Useful sorts include:
- Recently modified first.
- Title ascending.
- Status ascending.
- A custom property ascending or descending.
Operators
Saved views can combine filters for text, dates, relationship fields, and frontmatter values. Relative date expressions are useful for views such as notes changed this week or people that need follow-up.
Regex filters are available for power-user cases. Keep them narrow and test them on a small view first.
Keep Views Focused
A view should answer one recurring question. If it becomes too broad, split it into two views.
You can also customize view appearance with the same kind of icon and color controls used by types.
