# Task Querying [[TftHacker]] recommends this: 1. Install [[Obsidian Dataview Plugin]]: https://github.com/blacksmithgu/obsidian-dataview 2. Copy [his code](https://gist.github.com/TfTHacker/4e019abd25c58de57376add6e3aa4173) into the template There is also the [[Obsidian Tasks Plugin]], however my impression of it is that it is quite brittle at the moment. - [x] Decide on approach - Going to use Dataview and [[TftHacker]]'s template - [x] Install [[Obsidian Dataview Plugin]] - [x] Set up template # Note Atomicity Should these notes be in their own separate files? [[Open Question]] Probably yes, and maybe as [[Fleeting Notes]]? [See discussion here](https://forum.obsidian.md/t/using-daily-notes-as-a-convert-from-roam/15393/31) for strategies. - [x] Decide on how to deal with these notes. See especially using Zettelkasten prefixer for quick notes without needing to come up with a title. ^c951ad I decided to create a Fleeting Notes section. For now, I will make sure to densely link them to topics, etc. and will try to develop permanent notes on them as needed. [[Starting Obsidian Learnings#^c951ad]]. **Important:** not everything needs to use the Zettelkasten/Evergreen workflow! The [[Fleeting Notes]] page is just a catch all for notes that don't necessarily belong to a larger page, and they should already be densely linked to assist in building [[Evergreen Notes]]. # Frontmatter ^0ddbdf Similar to attributes in [[Roam]]? Obsidian [natively supports tags, aliases, and cssclass](https://help.obsidian.md/Advanced+topics/YAML+front+matter) as keys in the frontmatter, but you can use [[Obsidian Dataview Plugin]] to query on other keys. # Tags versus Page Links In [[Roam]], these are not different at all. In Obsidian, they are: https://help.obsidian.md/How+to/Working+with+tags. I think this is really only applicable to [Frontmatter]([[#^0ddbdf]]). Note that you can only # Roam Import [[Murf]] suggested doing a markdown export of Roam and loading it into a second vault and pull in things as needed, since search can happen across vaults(?) > This is what I did and it has worked well for me. I exported my roam graph as markdown and have it imported in a second vault so anytime I need something I search that vault and pull it over to my obsidian vault I started from scratch. But I have been VERY surprised how little I have to open the roam vault. - [x] Set this up [[Daily Notes/2021-08-15]] # Organizing Fleeting, Literature, Evergreen Notes - [x] Should I go to a more traditional [[Zettelkasten]]? [[Open Question]] - [x] Set up notes denoting organization [[Note-Making Architecture]] # Searching for header refs/block refs in the same page vs. across the graph > cc @hstagner @TfTHacker @joelchan86 Ok, this point is VERY important because it took me a while to learn. To "search" and then link to a "block reference" you use a single ^ and for a heading/section a single #. When you do it as you are typing you do ![[#searches for heading on that page... if you do a double ## then it searches ALL headings on ALL pages (amazing)... ![[##searches for heading from ALL pages... > Same goes for block references. ![[^searches for block on that page... and then to search ALL blocks on ALL pages you do double ^^ like ![[^^searches ALL blocks on ALL pages... ... this is equivalent to ((search for block... in Roam. Most don't realize this is possible in # Using Dataview to Fill in Kanban Boards As of [[2021-08-24]] this doesn't work with a plain dataview query (see [[Writing Status Kanban]]) . I was hoping to automatically fill my boards with query results like in Roam, but this may not be possible at the moment. Even Obsidian search queries don't work.
