Tags:: #statuses #tutorial #knowledge-management ## The Status Property In every ⏣ Template file there is a `Status::` property after the [[📇 Terms/🪨 Obsidian/Front Matter|frontmatter]] block. There is no hard-and-fast rules on how to use this - the way it's implemented in the [[Obsidian Garden2]] is just a suggestion to show how it can be used to [[👩‍🌾 Gardening Tips/🪴 Sowing Your Garden/🎯 Create Custom Dashboards|🎯 Create Custom Dashboards]]. There are 4 default statuses provided: | Status | Description | | -------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `#triage` | Set when a new file is created in the Seed Box - The file can be empty with just a title, or a full blown article idea but at this point it has not yet be currated. | | `#ready` | Set time aside to curate the Seed Box, when you have dealt with the file you can set it to `#ready` and put it in either your Backlog, or a Project folder. | | `#in-progress` | This file is current and active, for whatever reason you decide - if it's a ToDo Lists it could mean you have started some tasks, for a ⏣ Templates New Reading Item it could be your active book. For a it could be you are activly gathering information. | | `#done` | The file in it's current state is done - this doesn't have to mean this file won't ever change, but rather it represents a state that you are happy it no longer needs your attention | Now, you can build up queries like finding all `#ready` items to pick up, or see what you have `#in-progress` . As statuses are just tags, feel free to use your own - just be [[Awareness|aware]] this may mean they do not show up in some default views.
