Use case: Meeting notes

Meeting notes work well in Alexandria when you model each meeting as a note and use a Meeting tag for the structured fields you want to review later.

Set up the Meeting tag

In the desktop app, create a tag page for the meeting fields you want every meeting note to share:

  1. Use Add page in the sidebar and title the page Meeting.
  2. Open Manage Properties on the Meeting tag.
  3. In Tag Properties, add:
    • date as date
    • meeting_type as select
    • attendees as multi-select
    • follow_up_needed as boolean
  4. On the Meeting tag page, use View settings to show the property table when you want a spreadsheet-like review of all meetings.

attendees is a multi-select property: it stores names as values on the meeting note.

Two-way links to Person notes are not supported yet. Attendees are not linked Person relations today.

Create one note per meeting

For each meeting, create a normal note and apply the Meeting tag:

  1. Click Add page and title the note, for example 2026-07-11 Product sync.
  2. In the note's tags bar under the title, type Meeting and pick the existing tag.
  3. In the note's inline properties panel, set date, meeting_type, attendees, and follow_up_needed.

Use the note body for the actual notes and action checklist:

## Notes
- Reviewed launch risks.
- Decided to keep the beta scope unchanged.

## Checklist
- [ ] Send recap
- [ ] Confirm beta dates

Alexandria does not have a separate tasks feature today. For follow-ups, use a Markdown checklist in the meeting note body, or a boolean property such as follow_up_needed.

Add a dashboard table

Create a normal dashboard note with Add page, for example Meetings Dashboard. In the editor, open the slash menu (/) and choose Link DB Table, then point it at the Meeting tag.

The table lists notes tagged with Meeting and shows the tag's properties.

Current limitation. Link DB tables show all notes for the tag. Saved filters, sorting, grouping, and column hiding are not available yet.
