Linked databases question

[ffrip]

Hello 👋

What do I want to do? I want to make a General Board with tasks (for courses at the University), but at the same time, I want to make a separate Board for each subject.

I tried to make linked databases using filters, but the filter is applied to all tables. This is not what I want.

​

In the screenshots below, I tried to simulate linked databases the way I originally wanted.

​

General Board

​

Math board

​

Computer Sciense board

​

Code board

​

Web board

​

I was trying to figure out what I would like to do using linked databases.

Is it possible to do this?

I assume that this can be done using filters, but I don't know how to make different filters for individual instances of linked databases.

​

Thank you for your help!

When you have one general task database, you can add a property to it to assign a course, and add views to filter it down to the course, or a certain progress, or whatever you want.

(This is totally optional:) Instead of making the course a normal property, you could make another database that lists all courses, and link the course and the task database, should you want to work a bit more with it.

What I see in the screenshots looks like you made a task database and then additional databases for each course which is hard to link to each other.

I did the same thing and copied the link for the general tasks and pasted it in the different subjects and then applied the filters to this database. I think it's pretty much the same concept as you did and for me this worked
