+Day Notes
+ +
+
+ A common pattern in note-taking is that a lot of notes will be centered + around a certain date - e.g. you have some tasks which needs to be done + on a certain date, you have meeting minutes from a certain date, you have + your thoughts etc. and it all revolves around a date on which they occurred. + For this reason, it makes sense to create a certain "day workspace" which + will centralize all those notes relevant for a certain date.
+For this, Trilium provides a concept of "day note". Trilium semi-automatically + generates a single note for each day. Under this note you can save all + those relevant notes.
+Select an existing day note, and the menubar contains a calendar widget. + Select any day to create a note for that day.
+
+ 
+
This pattern works well also because of Cloning Notes functionality + - note can appear in multiple places in the note tree, so besides appearing + under day note, it can also be categorized into other notes.
+ +Demo
+ +
+ 
+
You can see the structure of day notes appearing under "Journal" note + - there's a note for the whole year 2017, under it, you have "12 - December" + which then contains "18 - Monday". This is our "day note" which contains + some text in its content and also has some child notes (some of them are + from Task manager).
+You can also notice how this day note has promoted attribute "weight" + where you can track your daily weight. This data is then used in Weight tracker.
+ +Templates
+ +Trilium provides template functionality, + and it could be used together with day notes.
+You can define one of the following relations on the root of the journal
+ (identified by #calendarRoot label):
-
+
- yearTemplate +
- monthTemplate +
- dateTemplate +
All of these are relations. When Trilium creates a new note for year or
+ month or date, it will take a look at the root and attach a corresponding ~template relation
+ to the newly created role. Using this, you can e.g. create your daily template
+ with e.g. checkboxes for daily routine etc.
Date pattern
+ +It's possible to customize the title of generated date notes by defining
+ a #datePattern label on a root calendar note (identified by #calendarRoot label).
+ Following are possible values:
-
+
{dayInMonthPadded} - {weekDay}day notes are named e.g. "24 + - Monday"
+ {dayInMonthPadded}: {weekDay3}day notes are named e.g. "24: + Mon"
+ {dayInMonthPadded}: {weekDay2}day notes are named e.g. "24: + Mo"
+ {isoDate} - {weekDay}day notes are named e.g. "2020-12-24 + - Monday"
+ {ordinal}is replaced with the ordinal date (e.g. 1st, 2nd, + 3rd) etc.
+
Month pattern
+ +It is also possible to customize the title of generated month notes through
+ the #monthPattern attribute, much like #datePattern.
+ The options are:
-
+
{monthNumberPadded}results in a number like09for + September, and11for November
+ {month}results in the full month name (e.g.SeptemberorOctober)
+ {shortMonth3}is replaced with the first 3 letters of the + month, e.g. Jan, Feb, etc.
+ {shortMonth4}is replaced with the first 4 letters of the + month, e.g. Sept, Octo, etc.
+
The default is {monthNumberPadded} - {month}
+
Implementation
+ +Trilium has some special support for day notes in the form of backend Script API - + see e.g. getDayNote() function.
+Day (and year, month) notes are created with a label - e.g. #dateNote="2018-08-16" this
+ can then be used by other scripts to add new notes to day note etc.
Journal also has relation child:child:child:template=Day template (see
+ [[attribute inheritance]]) which effectively adds [[template]] to day notes
+ (grand-grand-grand children of Journal).
