Ok, thanks for the reply. I'll appreciate the help from all!

That was a great idea....thank you! Both the tag hierarchy, and the saved searches, are available. That makes the transition to EN 10 much less stressful. However, I'd still like to "export" my saved searches. I've already documented my tag hierarchies and their intended purpose (in EN naturally, in my system documentation post), but not the saved searches. I'd rather not have to edit each individual saved search (I have 30+) to document the specific combination of scope, filters and exclusions. I can find no way to "print" or list saved search information. Any suggestions or guidelines would be greatly appreciated! Best Ed

I use an extensive structured tag hierarchy (a1.b1, a1.b2, etc) combined with a portfolio of saved searches to run my GTD and daily operations. Iwill those migrate to the new EN, or is there any way to backup or export those items as csv or plain text, for example? Tia Ed

Ah...thanks DTLow

DTLow, Is a "dashboard note" specific to the Mac version of Evernote? It doesn't appear in my Windows or Android versions, nor did I find "dashboard note" after searching the Evernote Help. In the Windows version, the Note List does have different view options including "Card" and "Thumbnail" among other types, however it does not appear that you can create multiple subsections or lists, nor can you "move" a note to an arbitrary position. TIA for your help Ed

thanks

Thanks for the suggestions! Good to know the max limit on tags, although a profusion of tags tends to clutter (at least for me). I do use a number of tags (all organized by tag group, identifying a particular type of data for that note), and saved searches in conjunctions with those tags, to get specific results. I've also used some title coding, and occasional "in-body" tags (e.g., "<infotype1>); but have yet to find a way to enable/create data fields for notes. BTW, I also found that capability to export notes, with notebook and tag information, from the list views into Excel, where I can do a fair bit of data cleansing to ultimately build an effective database. I've seen a number of people in the Apple ecosystem talk about "scripting"; I'm assuming this is a IOS system capability (similar to macros in Excel, or VBA ?) I wonder if there is a similar scripting capability that I could use for the Windows version. I'll have to do some searching here. Thanks for your input!

This is something that I'm very interested in - the ability to "categorize" a note with a defined field (used to hold undefined contents). As Eldorado pointed out, when I select the "Info" icon at the top right in a Snippet view of a Note, OR when I select List view (top or side), the note's system fields are displayed. These fields include things such as: Notebook, Created, Author, Sync Status, etc. I can select and edit some of those fields (date edited, author), but not all all (subject) - which is very surprising, since I wouldn't think you actually want to edit the "date edited" field (as a system property), but likely WOULD want to edit "subject". I would like to create and edit custom fields. I've been using Tags, however, there are many types of data for which I do NOT want to create a unique tag. For example, I'm building a reading list system, using web clipper to collect information about various books to read (or have read), from Amazon, Gutenberg, etc. Each title is a unique note. While I can see the sense of using tags for genre, or the read / to read status, it doesn't make sense to use tags for things like author name, or reading list priority number; both of which would quickly generate far too many unique tags. For example, a "Great Books" reading list covers well over 70 books; simply ranking them, or subdividing into genres, or time periods, or some other subcategorization to then rank, would result in LOTS of tags. I currently have a GTD system managed in EN, in which I track project activity by month; so just for 2019, I've got 12 subtags (201901, 201902, etc.) I would find a capability to create and manage custom fields (or "properties") VERY useful and efficient. Is there currently such a way to do this? Or is there a similar request I can upvote? FYI, I use EN on a Windows system, as well as on my Android phone and tablet. TIA Ed

plus 1.

So Revunote is still among the missing, and the video showing how to link Anki with Evernote is on a platform called "Screenr", which is also now defunct. I do see on Google Code that there is an app to generate an Anki file from tagged Notes - anyone have any experience with this? https://code.google.com/p/evernote2anki/ It looks like the only other app option is to go with StudyBlue.
