This example shows how to use DataCards for task and project management.

Task Dashboard

Create a visual task dashboard:

```datacards
TABLE file.link as "Task", priority, status, dueDate, assigned FROM #tasks
WHERE status != "completed"
SORT dueDate ASC

// Settings
preset: grid
columns: 4
properties: [file.link, priority, status, dueDate, assigned]
defaultDateFormat: YYYY-MM-DD

## Properties to Include in Your Task Notes

For this example to work, make sure your task notes have:

```yaml
---
tags: tasks
priority: High
status: In Progress
dueDate: 2023-09-30
assigned: John Doe
---

Task Kanban Board

Group tasks by status to create a Kanban-like view:

# Task Board

## To Do
```datacards
TABLE file.link as "Task", priority, dueDate FROM #tasks
WHERE status = "To Do"
SORT priority DESC

// Settings
preset: dense
columns: 2

## In Progress
```datacards
TABLE file.link as "Task", priority, dueDate FROM #tasks
WHERE status = "In Progress"
SORT priority DESC

// Settings
preset: dense
columns: 2

## Done
```datacards
TABLE file.link as "Task", priority, dueDate FROM #tasks
WHERE status = "Done"
SORT dueDate DESC

// Settings
preset: dense
columns: 2

Project Overview

Show tasks organized by project:

```datacards
TABLE file.link as "Task", priority, status, dueDate FROM #projects
SORT priority DESC

// Settings
preset: grid
properties: [file.link, priority, status, dueDate]
dynamicUpdate: true

## Task Priority Matrix

Organize tasks by priority:

```markdown
# Task Priority Matrix

## High Priority
```datacards
TABLE file.link as "Task", status, dueDate FROM #tasks
WHERE priority = "High"
SORT dueDate ASC

// Settings
preset: dense
columns: 3

## Medium Priority
```datacards
TABLE file.link as "Task", status, dueDate FROM #tasks
WHERE priority = "Medium"
SORT dueDate ASC

// Settings
preset: dense
columns: 3

## Low Priority
```datacards
TABLE file.link as "Task", status, dueDate FROM #tasks
WHERE priority = "Low"
SORT dueDate ASC

// Settings
preset: dense
columns: 3

Tasks with Dynamic Updates

If you're using Meta Bind or other property editing plugins:

```datacards
TABLE file.link as "Task", priority, status, dueDate FROM #tasks
WHERE status != "completed"
SORT dueDate ASC

// Settings
preset: grid
dynamicUpdate: true
refreshDelay: 1000

This will automatically update the cards when you change task properties.

## Tasks with Boolean Properties

If you track task completion with boolean properties:

```markdown
```datacards
TABLE file.link as "Task", completed, priority, dueDate FROM #tasks
SORT dueDate ASC

// Settings
preset: grid
booleanDisplayMode: checkbox
booleanTrueText: "Done"
booleanFalseText: "Pending"
