FAQPage Schema

How do I create Obsidian Bases with dynamic views and formulas?▼

You configure Obsidian Base files with a structured YAML schema to define views, filters, formulas, and summaries. This transforms plain notes into dynamic, searchable databases with table, cards, list, and map views.

What types of views can I configure for my Obsidian notes?▼

You can model your notes using table, cards, list, and map views. Each view can have specific per-view filters applied on top of global filters to organize and surface insights from your notes.

Can I apply filters and computed formulas to specific Obsidian views?▼

Yes, Obsidian Bases support both global filters and per-view filters. You can define computed formulas and custom summaries within the YAML schema to surface specific insights for each configured view.

Does Obsidian Base configuration require YAML frontmatter?▼

Yes, the Base file configuration requires YAML frontmatter that includes name, description, and a structured schema. This schema defines the filters, formulas, properties, summaries, and views for your notes.

What is the best way to organize project notes by status in Obsidian?▼

The best way is to create an Obsidian Base with global and per-view filters to categorize notes by project, status, or category. You can then use computed formulas and summaries to generate quick insights from the organized notes.

Are there limitations to what Obsidian Bases can summarize from notes?▼

Obsidian Bases generate quick summaries from notes using computed formulas and custom summaries defined in the YAML schema. The summaries are constrained by the properties and filters configured within the Base file structure.
