To-do document containing all to-do's from other documents

This post was last updated for 472 days ago, and the information may already be changed

What is the best way to create one document that would automatically display all to-do blocks scattered in all other documents? Something that would act as a to-do's dashboard.

Do I need to use tags or some page showing search results to achieve it?

      You can use embed block, and then insert this query

      For unfinished task
      SELECT * FROM blocks WHERE markdown LIKE '%[ ]%' AND subtype = 't' AND type = 'i'

      For finished task
      SELECT * FROM blocks WHERE markdown LIKE '%[x]%' AND subtype = 't' AND type = 'i'

      I have since tried the "Simple Todo" Template, which seems to work to some degree: for example to pull in tasks from within the last month it creates and embed with the following sql:

      SELECT * from blocks WHERE type = "l" AND subtype = "t" AND created >= strftime('%Y%m%d%H%M%S', datetime('now', '-1 month')) AND markdown REGEXP "\* \[ \] \S+" AND parent_id not in ( select id from blocks where subtype = "t" ) ORDER BY created DESC

      Hope this might help someone.

      Looks like I need to learn some sql query language :)

      You can save the query inside the global search

      Thanks for responding xhir. Yes I just noticed your plugin a couple of days ago so I will try it out too.

      I am now understanding how to query my tasks better, as well as create columns within SiYuan so I can display TODO, NEXT, DOING, DONE as well as priority, project or date filtering which can be really helpful in managing tasks. I mention these thing in case they are helpful ideas for your plugin.

      I will indeed try the plugin as I mentioned - It will be useful for sure to have a drop down task list available indepenent of which tab I have open, so it should suppliment my task workflow very well.

      Thanks again
