Lawrence25 1 Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 So for university I have multiple modules. I have created a seperate notebook for each module and created them as a stack. This is how I would like it to look Module Name (Stack) To Do List Essential Reading Module Name 2 (Stack) To Do List Essential Reading. Problem is that I can't have two notebooks of the same name. Is there any workaround other than putting a number after each one which looks messy. Thanks in advance Link to comment

One approach that would work: maintain separate notebooks for each module, and tag notes that are to items with a 'Todo' tag, and notes that contain essential reading with an 'Essential Reading' tag.

My vote is for generic tags “To Do List”, “Essential Reading” You could also also prefix your names, like “Module Name (Stack) To Do List” Link to comment

But wouldn't that then show all essential reading for all modules? The reading is unique to the module. 1 hour ago, DTLow said: My vote is for generic tags “To Do List”, “Essential Reading” You could also also prefix your names, like “Module Name (Stack) To Do List” That is a good possibility actually thank you.

The reading is unique to the module. Not if you do the tag search with context limited to one notebook (module) as opposed to All Notes. Then you will only get notes from that notebook that have the tag. If you used one notebook you could add a tag for module to each note and when you do a tag:module tag:todo search you would find all todos for that module. Or do a tag:todo search to get todo's across all modules, sometimes a beneficial search. Different perspective. YMMV. Link to comment

It works great on the iPad and computer but on my Samsung it's not as good. With the iPad and computer your can just filter tags but on android you have to search and it shows all your previous searches in there which includes searches from other notebooks. Not the end of the world but ashame. Link to comment
Level 5* CalS 5,261 Posted September 6, 2017 Level 5* Share Posted September 6, 2017 Can you create a saved search on the Samsung by module and enhance the search from there. Don't know how the Samsung works. Link to comment

Don't know how the Samsung works. It applies to all notebooks which means it's visible on whicever notebook you are on. It's not a huge deal as I know the difference between each notebook so I know which is which. Link to comment
