Bases View

List-based view of the current note's relationships. Shows children, parent, and related notes.

Relationship Views​

Bases view offers three relationship perspectives:

  • Children — Notes with current note as parent
  • Parent — Notes with current note as child
  • Related — Notes with mutual related connections

Enable Show 'All' Relationship Views in Settings to add recursive views: All Children, All Parents, and All Related. Each displays a count of nodes found.

Display Modes​

Choose how data is presented in Settings:

  • Cards — Visual grid layout (recommended)
  • Table — Traditional rows and columns
  • List — Minimal compact display

Archived Toggle​

When the "Exclude Archived" setting is enabled in Settings → Bases View, an Archived checkbox toggle appears on the right side of the view selector.

How it works:

  • Unchecked (default): Shows only non-archived files for the selected view type
  • Checked: Shows only archived files for the selected view type

Example:

  • Select "Children" view with archived toggle OFF → Shows non-archived children
  • Select "Children" view with archived toggle ON → Shows archived children
  • Select "Parent" view with archived toggle ON → Shows archived parent (if archived)

File Names​

Bases view displays the Title property instead of file.name for cleaner, more readable file names.

The title property is stored as a wiki link (e.g., [[path/to/file|Child]]), making it:

  • Clickable: Navigate directly to the file
  • Clean: Parent name prefixes are stripped (e.g., "Parent - Child" → "Child")

See Graph Views → Node Labels for details on how titles work.

Usage​

Switch views: Click "Switch to Bases View" / "Switch to Graph View" button

Navigate: Click any note name to open it

Custom Sorting​

Define formulas and sort rules in Settings → Nexus Properties → Bases View.

Formula example (priority sorting):

_priority_sort: |-
  [
    ["Very High", 1],
    ["High", 2],
    ["Medium", 3],
    ["Low", 4],
    ["null", 5]
  ].filter(value[0] == Priority.toString())[0][1]

Sort configuration example:

- property: formula._status_sort
  direction: ASC
- property: formula._priority_sort
  direction: ASC
- property: file.mtime
  direction: DESC
note

Enter only the content AFTER formulas: and sort: keywords. The plugin adds these automatically.
