Filters and saved views
Once a vault has a few hundred tasks, the useful question stops being “what are all my tasks” and becomes “what should I do this afternoon”. That’s what filters are for.
Building one
Section titled “Building one”Filter in the Table toolbar opens the builder. A filter is a set of conditions joined by and / or:
Status is not done · and · Due is within next 7 days · and · Tags has any of
work
Each field offers the operators that make sense for it. Dates get thirteen — including is overdue, is today, is within next N days, is this week and is next month — so you rarely have to type an actual date.
Saving it
Section titled “Saving it”Once a filter is useful, save it. It becomes a pill above the table that you click to apply.
A few worth having:
- Today — due today or overdue, not done
- This week — due within 7 days
- Waiting — status is doing, so you can see what’s actually in flight
- No date — due is empty, for the things that quietly never get scheduled
Sorting and grouping
Section titled “Sorting and grouping”Sort goes three levels deep — priority, then due date, then title, say — which is usually enough to make a list feel deliberately ordered rather than arbitrary.
Group breaks the table into sections by status, priority, group or tag.
Bulk edits
Section titled “Bulk edits”Select several rows and change them together: set a due date on all of them, move them to a group, mark them done. Much faster than opening each one.
Where they’re stored
Section titled “Where they’re stored”Saved filters live in your vault’s .pellet/ folder, so they travel with the vault and sync between devices along with everything else.
