You requested the latest TPS reports?

Do you ever wish you could save a search? You can. Saved searches are called “queries”.

Data view notes are notes with specific sets of queries using the Dataview community plugin. Such as Inbox. As you can see, Data view notes give you viewports to filter, review, and analyze the information you are accreting.

• Use data views to analyze information
