Create a .base file containing valid YAML with a filters section to select notes, an optional formulas section for computed properties, and a views array defining table, cards, list, or map views. Each view uses order to list displayed properties and can add its own filters, grouping, and summaries.

Subtracting two dates returns a Duration type, so access a numeric field like .days before applying number functions. Use an expression like (date(due_date) - today()).days, and guard with if() when the date property may be empty.

Bases filters support comparison operators ==, !=, >, <, >=, <= and logical operators &&, ||, and !. Filters can be combined recursively with and, or, and not blocks, and functions like file.hasTag() and file.inFolder() target file metadata.

YAML errors usually come from unquoted strings containing special characters like colons, or from double quotes nested inside double-quoted formulas. Wrap formulas containing double quotes in single quotes, and quote any display string with special characters.

Yes, the map view type displays notes as locations, but it requires latitude and longitude properties on the notes and the Maps community plugin installed. Other view types like table, cards, and list work without additional plugins.
