As per the others, linking within a note is not supported by the Evernote note editor There is a feature requested posted here. You're welcome to add your vote My solution would be to switch to a word processing editor (Apple Pages), and store the document as a note attachment I like @gazumped's suggestion of using a Table of Contents to serve as the link, however the means separate notes (which is also a good idea)

Regarding tag descriptions, I vote for preceding tags with Project as in Project-Sample "." seems cryptic >>I'm not much for verbose tags I recall a comment from my French colleague when we were laying out text in a bilingual form. She said, "We're not verbose, we're ..... precise" I confess, my tag names are verbose What really hurts is Evernote truncates the tag name in various displays >>! for action My tag name is Actionable. I also have child tags

Nesting Multiple Notebooks / Creating Sub-Notebooks
DTLow replied to cswsteve's question in General Feature Requests
Notebooks, Tags, Folders; they're just labels for an organization tool Evernote supplies us with two note metadata fields; Notebooks and Tags For this discussion, the important thing is hierarchy (nesting) For myself, the important thing is identifying the categories that apply to a note Do the Bublup folders allow for multiple assignments? -
It's risky editing a captured web page You might want to convert the selection to plain text (remove html tags) first The underlying html code can get quite convoluted The screenshot is the content.enml file retrieved from my Mac

Let's start with assign "Y2020" to new_note Change this to assign tag "Y2020" to new_note AppleScript will look up the tag named Y2020 and retrieve the tag id

I have the same problem with tables - something happened when Evernote switched to the new improved table processing I haven't looked into it; I simply reset the column width manually >>Impossible to assign or unassign tags. I am not sure why Evernote gives me an error message there. Your coding level might be exceeding my limited skills Do you have the exact statement the code aborted on? One point is that "Y2020" is not a tag - It's the value of the name field in a tag record

I've done some minor work, creating a table for data The attached is generated by my email>evernote script It's simply generating the required html code as per the sample and creating a note with the script tell application "Evernote" activate set theNewNote to create note with html (theNote) However, this does not support actions like "jump to the next cell" - which is why I switched to a spreadsheet to display the information I also insert note links into my calendar app (by date) >>About the Gant Chart, you put a picture of the spreadsheet inside Evernote or you have a table for the Gantt chart inside Evernote? The gantt timeline view of my tasks is a spreadsheet. It's doable, but I didn't attempt to create a table inside Evernote My dashboard note contains a link to the spreadsheet (standard for dashboards) I also include a screenshot - it avoids having to leap back and forth all day and serves as an archive >>Dare to share the script? Here's the code for extracting Evernote note data After getting the data, it is inserted into the spreadsheet with spreadsheet code The sample shows setting up the spreadsheet each day with the dates headers. - it shows the "jump to the net cell"

Less Shameful Business Practices
DTLow replied to neurongrower's topic in Evernote General Discussions
I don't know about shameful; it's an odd business practice to give you the product/service at no charge I've merged your posts, and moved them to the General Discussion forum >>It's odd to force users to pay for basic functionality The Basic account functionality is provided free of charge; subject to specified limits >>that costs the company no extra to provide That's simply not true; there are costs for providing this product/service >>The whole program is completely unusable once exceeded. Then don't exceed the account limits; ... either that or upgrade your account level The "whole program" is completely useable for millions of users >>It is blatant, shameful money-grabbing. It's called capitalism; products/services provided at a profit -

You need to rethink your organization strategy Evernote provides two fields in the note metadata; Notebooks and Tags Tags are the primary organization tool, with a limit of 100,000 Other benefits; Multiple tags per note Hierarchy - unlimited levels

Nice job, and I like the ToC automation via Filterize >>Especially if you have a calendar dashboard or something you can make dynamical with dates. Can you give some examples? My use case is a daily journal note which includes a list of tasks due that day. It's similar to the Filterize ToC, but generated each morning with an applescript on my Mac I also use a gantt timeline view of my task list In this case, I take the note list to a spreadsheet; which includes note links back to Evernote

Notes not appearing
DTLow replied to Tanyagm's topic in Evernote for Mac Issues (Versions 7.14 and under)
Before you totally panic, know that you can access your notes using the web platform at www.evernote.com Your Mac version is quite old; can you bring it up to date Does this match the issue in this discussion -
