SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Obsidian Bases offer a structured way to model notes as dynamic, multi-view schemas using YAML. They enable you to define views, filters, formulas, and summaries that adapt as your notes change, reducing manual curation and enabling dashboards across your vault.

Core Features & Use Cases

Build Base files with multiple views (table, cards, list, map) and global or per-view filters.
Define formulas and property configurations to derive computed values and meaningful summaries.
Use Bases to create database-like views of notes, drive dashboards, and quickly surface relevant information when specified queries or tags appear in Obsidian.

Quick Start

Create a new .base file in your vault and begin defining views, filters, and formulas in YAML to render dynamic note dashboards.
