# Obsidian-Bases Creates database-like views of notes within a vault — these can be filtered and sorted based on their properties. ## Usage Although it violates the [[Meta-Principles|principles]] used in this vault, base are extensively used throughout this vault, e.g. for - creating index notes, as notes are automatically linked these, based on their (filtered) properties in the metadata block - tracking metrics in daily notes and calculating averages - view notes based on their current status ## Settings none ## Bugs none ## Alternatives - [Obsidian-Dataview](https://blacksmithgu.github.io/obsidian-dataview/) is a possible alternative for Bases, however I found the syntax to "intruding" for plaintext. Needs to be tested again --- ## Related - **previous** [[Obsidian-Plugins]] - **see** [[Meta-Bases]] for more information how Bases are used in this vault ## Sources - **references** [Obsidian Help](https://obsidian.md/help/bases) for the documentation of this plugin ## Usage - **used in** none --- ## Changelog - [[1900-01-01]]: Initial creation
