You can create dynamic views of notes by generating Obsidian Base files that use YAML schemas to define table, cards, list, or map layouts. These files apply global and per-view filters to display your vault data.

Obsidian Bases are YAML-based files that define dynamic views of notes. You need them when you want to rapidly create and maintain complex, multi-view configurations without manually reconfiguring each note in your vault.

You add filters and formulas to Obsidian notes views by configuring a YAML schema within a base file. This supports global and per-view filters alongside formulas to compute derived values and create custom summaries.

Yes, you can configure multiple view layouts in a single Obsidian base file. A base schema supports defining table, cards, list, and map views with property configurations and embedded code blocks to maximize information density.

Yes, you need prior YAML knowledge to set up Obsidian Bases because the base schemas are YAML-based. The configuration relies on defining properties, filters, and embedded code blocks within this structured format.

The best way to build a notes review system is to create a base file that shows a table of notes filtered by a tag. You can then apply formulas to the view to compute and display a derived status across your notes.
