Global and Local view filters for sets and collections

[Axis]

WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND

Set wide or global filter for all views in the set, in addition to per-view filters. I thought this was something they already do but it seems not.

HOW COULD IT BE DONE

Right now for some reason we have a redundancy of two places right next to each other where you can apply filters per-view in a set. Rather than get rid of one of them I propose that the filter options in the sets settings section apply those filters across all the views in that set rather than just one view.

Leave this one as the per-view Filter

Change this one so you can apply a filter to all the views across a set.

REAL WORLD USE CASES

I have been working on a way so I can make characters, or places, items, etc for multiple stories the idea is I can make one of those and add to that which story or stories it is associated with.

Ideally, I would be able to make a template and change the global filter to look for the storyline relation first, then per-view it separates it into the categories with those additional filters that I would not need to change. Without it I will have to set up two filters for each view and have to do that each time I make a new story.

RECOMMENDED ALTERNATIVES

Apply the same filter or multiple filters onto each and every view multiple times.

ADDITIONAL CONTEXT

Advice on project management for newcomer

There are various types collected by that set because they are looking for the Relation I can just apply that relation to whatever I want in there and it doesn’t care what type it is. Templates or specific types can inherit relations, certain templates can even inherit tags on their creation. It still doesn’t get around the fact you would need to set it up in the first place, for something like that I’d assume the program would have to have some sort of intelligent concept of what you are writi…

I gave some incorrect advice believing this is already how this worked.

Usually the query is supposed to be the global filter. It’s just that this filter is very limited in Anytype at the moment.

Yeah, it might just be I am trying to currently do something it’s not designed to do. It is only really an issue because the set can only be defined to look for all in that relation.

In this particular situation, I have a hub of everything across all my projects for writing.

Fiction Writing Hub

I have been working on and off on a way to use Anytype as a framework for fiction writing projects. I don’t know if it is at a stage it would be useful to anyone really but maybe it can give you a few ideas for practical use. It’s also been a bit of a learning experience for me and should help with not only my writing but understanding Anytype better going forward. What I made I made a hub of pages and started with an inline set. [Anytype_xM0SxyDcT5] Instead of establishing a set by types w…

It’s fine for the main hub where it pulls from all of my projects but I essentially do the same thing over again more refined when it gets to the specific story I’m working on. So instead of pulling everything across all the stories it only pulls the ones associated with it.

I’ll have to figure out a different way of doing this or just suck it up and have to apply that filter 11 times every time I want to make a new story. Not a huge deal for me but I was trying to submit this as an experience and I would imagine that’s quite the turn-off for a lot of people.
