# Attributes
|
||
In Trilium, attributes are key-value pairs assigned to notes, providing additional metadata or functionality. There are two primary types of attributes:
|
||
|
||
1. **Labels**: Simple key-value text records
|
||
2. **Relations**: Named links to other notes
|
||
|
||
These attributes play a crucial role in organizing, categorising, and enhancing the functionality of notes.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
## Labels
|
||
|
||
Labels in Trilium can be used for a variety of purposes:
|
||
|
||
* **Metadata**: Assign labels with optional values for categorization, such as `#year=1999`, `#genre="sci-fi"`, or `#author="Neal Stephenson"`
|
||
* **Configuration**: Labels can configure advanced features or settings
|
||
* **Scripts and Plugins**: Used to tag notes with special metadata, such as the "weight" attribute in the <a class="reference-link" href="Advanced%20Showcases/Weight%20Tracker.md">Weight Tracker</a>.
|
||
|
||
Labels are also searchable, enhancing note retrieval.
|
||
|
||
### Common Labels for Advanced Configuration
|
||
|
||
* `disableVersioning`: Disables automatic versioning, ideal for large, unimportant notes like script libraries
|
||
* `versioningLimit`: Used to limit the number of revisions for a single note
|
||
* `calendarRoot`: Marks the note as the root for [day notes](Advanced%20Showcases/Day%20Notes.md). Only one note should carry this label
|
||
* `archived`: Hides notes from default search results and dialogs
|
||
* `excludeFromExport`: Excludes notes and their subtrees from export operations
|
||
* `run`: Specifies events to trigger scripts (e.g., `frontendStartup`, `hourly`)
|
||
* `runAtHour`: Defines specific hours for scripts to run, used with `#run=hourly`
|
||
* `disableInclusion`: Prevents a script from being included in parent script executions
|
||
* `sorted`: Automatically sorts child notes alphabetically by title
|
||
* `top`: Keeps the note at the top of its parent's list, useful with `sorted`
|
||
* `hidePromotedAttributes`: Hides certain attributes in the note's display
|
||
* `readOnly`: Sets the note to read-only mode, applicable to text and code notes
|
||
* `autoReadOnlyDisabled`: Disables automatic read-only mode for large notes
|
||
* `appCss`: Marks CSS notes used to modify Trilium’s appearance
|
||
* `appTheme`: Marks full CSS themes available in Trilium's options
|
||
* `cssClass`: Adds a CSS class to the note's representation in the tree
|
||
* `iconClass`: Adds a CSS class to the note's icon, useful for distinguishing notes visually. See <a class="reference-link" href="../Basic%20Concepts%20and%20Features/Notes/Note%20Icons.md">Note Icons</a>.
|
||
* `pageSize`: Specifies the number of items per page in note listings
|
||
* `customRequestHandler` **and** `customResourceProvider`: Refer to <a class="reference-link" href="Custom%20Request%20Handler.md">Custom Request Handler</a>
|
||
* `widget`: Marks a note as a custom widget, added to Trilium's component tree
|
||
* `workspace` **and related attributes**: See <a class="reference-link" href="../Basic%20Concepts%20and%20Features/Navigation/Workspace.md">Workspace</a> for more details
|
||
* `searchHome`: Specifies the parent for new search notes
|
||
* `inbox`: Designates a default location for new notes created via the sidebar
|
||
* `sqlConsoleHome`: Default location for SQL console notes
|
||
* `bookmarked` **and** `bookmarkFolder`: See <a class="reference-link" href="../Basic%20Concepts%20and%20Features/Navigation/Bookmarks.md">Bookmarks</a>
|
||
* `share:[…]`: See <a class="reference-link" href="Sharing.md">Sharing</a>
|
||
* `keyboardShortcut`: Assigns a keyboard shortcut to open the note
|
||
* `displayRelations` **and** `hideRelations`: Manages the display of note relations
|
||
* `titleTemplate`: See <a class="reference-link" href="Default%20Note%20Title.md">Default Note Title</a>
|
||
* `template`: Makes the note available as a template
|
||
* `toc`: Controls the visibility of the table of contents
|
||
* `color`: Defines the color of the note in the tree and links
|
||
* `hideChildrenOverview`: Hides child notes in the parent note's editor
|
||
* `viewType`: Sets the view of child notes (grid or list)
|
||
|
||
## Relations
|
||
|
||
Relations define connections between notes, similar to links.
|
||
|
||
### Uses
|
||
|
||
* **Metadata Relationships**: For example, linking a book note to an author note
|
||
* **Scripting**: Attaching scripts to events or conditions related to the note
|
||
|
||
### Common Relations
|
||
|
||
* **Event-based Relations**: Such as `runOnNoteCreation` or `runOnNoteChange`, which trigger scripts on specific actions
|
||
* **Other Relations**: Include `template`, `renderNote`, `widget`, and sharing-related relations
|
||
|
||
## Multiplicity
|
||
|
||
Attributes in Trilium can be "multivalued", meaning multiple attributes with the same name can coexist.
|
||
|
||
## Attribute Definitions and Promoted Attributes
|
||
|
||
Special labels create "label/attribute" definitions, enhancing the organization and management of attributes. For more details, see <a class="reference-link" href="Attributes/Promoted%20Attributes.md">Promoted Attributes</a>.
|
||
|
||
## Attribute Inheritance
|
||
|
||
Trilium supports attribute inheritance, allowing child notes to inherit attributes from their parents. For more information, see <a class="reference-link" href="Attributes/Attribute%20Inheritance.md">Attribute Inheritance</a>. |
