Drafts – Views

New Drafts

Currently, there are **`$= dv.pages('"+"').length`** draft notes (**`$= dv.pages('"+" AND #note/draft').length`** in `+` folder).

Note: Copy the text above with the embedded Dataview JavaScript expressions inside the backticks with the $= prefix; that will create the dynamic sentence that shows the current draft counts like the example shown below. The “dv.pages” function is equivalent to the Dataview LIST FROM query, but notice that it must be enclosed inside single quotes, and length returns a count of the notes (pages) found.

Currently, there are 6 draft notes (5 in + folder).

These are the latest 10 draft notes created today that need further processing. Note: remove the backslash escape before the final triple-backtick.

```dataview
TABLE WITHOUT ID
  file.link AS "Name", 
  file.folder AS "Folder", 
  (date(today) - file.cday).day AS "Days"

FROM  #note/draft  

WHERE file.cday = date(today)

SORT file.cday DESC
LIMIT 10
\```

The Dataview code block above will produce a dynamic table with links to all draft notes (with tags property note/draft) in any folder and when it was created; I’m not sure why the + folder shows as a bullet. After you process each one, remove the note/draft tag and add other tags for its new note status (like note/develop), it will no longer appear in this table.

Using this list, you can then use an approach like my suggestions for processing these new drafts further.
