Bases

Configure the appearance and content of Bases views throughout Prisma Calendar.

  • View type: Choose the default view layout for all Bases views. Options:

    • Cards (Recommended): Displays events as visual cards in a grid layout
    • Table: Displays events in a sortable table with columns
    • List: Displays events in a simple list format

  • Additional properties: Comma-separated list of property names to include as additional columns in Bases views (e.g., priority, project, tags)

Where Bases Views Are Used​

These configured settings apply to all Bases views:

  1. Event Series Modal: When clicking Table/List/Cards buttons in the Bases footer of the Event Series Modal (filters by recurring event, name series, or category)
  2. Category Events View: When clicking on a category in Settings → Categories
  3. Current Interval View: When using the "Show current interval in Bases" command (daily, weekly, or monthly views)
Sort date property required for interval views

The Current Interval View filters events by the Sort date property. This property is only populated when Sorting normalization is set to a strategy other than "None" (the default). If it's "None", the command will show an empty view.

To fix this, go to Settings → Properties → Sorting normalization and select a strategy (recommended: All events — start datetime). See Sorting Normalization for External Tools for all available modes.

Default Columns​

All Bases views include these columns by default:

  • File name: Link to the event note
  • Date property: The configured date/time property (sorted by this column)
  • Status: Current event status

Custom Columns​

Properties you add to "Additional properties" appear after the default columns. Common examples:

  • priority: Show event importance (e.g., High, Medium, Low)
  • project: Group events by project
  • tags: Display event tags or categories
  • duration: Show event length
  • location: Display event location
  • attendees: List event participants
