Smart views

Smart views are very similar to smart folders in the Finder
and smart playlists in iTunes. Although you can create smart
views based off a number of different pieces of metadata (the
specific metadata depends on the type of item), using smart
views together with tags is often the most efficient way to
filter your items.

Click the + button to add a new smart view or choose Add
Smart View…
from the gear button at the bottom of the
source list. In the rules window, do the following:

Type a name for your smart view.

Optionally, choose a standard view to filter (by

default, the view that was selected when you
created the smart view will be filtered).

Select a metadata field.

Select a qualifier.

Enter a search term. Some metadata (such as

status or tags) will autocomplete as you type, or
you can click the arrows in the corner to choose
from a drop down.
