Transcripts
Hi, I'm Alan and welcome back to this new series of Haptabase tutorials.
This is the third video of the entire series
In this video, I'm going to talk about how to use tags and properties in Heptabase.
In the previous video, we have already shown you how you can use whiteboards to organize your cards into different learning and research topics.
However, as you might have already noticed in the left sidebar
In Heptabase, you can also organize your cards using tags.
That leads to an important question
Which is when and why should I use tag instead of whiteboard to organize my notes?
The short answer is you don't need to use tag unless you find it useful.
But that brings us to another question
When will tag ever be more useful than whiteboards?
I'm not planning to give you a long theoretical explanation of why tag is useful.
Instead I'll just show by an example to let you see when you might want to use tag.
Here I have a whiteboard called Semi-conductor Supply Chain.
Let's imagine that you have some savings and you are becoming an investor
You want to invest these savings into some popular companies in the market.
You realize that modern technology is all powered by semi-conductors.
So you are looking into the semi-conductor industry and all the companies inside it.
One thing that most Heptabase users would do is they will create a whiteboard and put a lot of different companies into it.
Categorize them into different sections and see the relationship between them.
For example, there are fabless design company like NVIDIA, Apple, Qualcomm and AMD.
There are also foundries company like TSMC, Global Foundries.
There are also companies that's selling equipments like ASML and Applied Materials.
So there are all these different companies in the semi-conductor supply chain.
The next question is, which should I invest?
Just by staring at this whiteboard, you'll notice that we still lack a lot of information.
For example we don't know the stock price of these companies.
We don't know the revenue of these companies.
We don't know where these companies are located.
We also don't know who's in the leadership and how trustworthy are the leader of these companies.
We have zero information of all this data just by staring at this whiteboard.
Despite that this whiteboard gives us a useful representation of the industry
It doesn't really have enough information to guide us on investing our money.
This is actually a case where tag can be more useful than whiteboard.
Let me just multi-select all the cards on this whiteboard and give them a tag called company.
Let's enter this tag.
You'll notice that all cards we selected are now displayed in the table view of this tag.
For example, if I want to track the stock prices of these companies.
I can simply add a number property.
Let's call it Stock Price (USD).
I can add the numbers for them.
For example this one is $67.76
And this stock price is $119.65
This one is $1245.1
This one is $884.55
Qualcomm is $166.92
I can simply add the stock price and compare them at a glance.
I can also add revenue of this company and make it per billion dollar.
So the revenue of Marvell seems to be $5.92B.
The revenue of AMD is $22.7B
The revenue of Broadcom can is $35.8B
The revenue of Nvidia is $27B
And the revenue of Qualcomm is $35.82B
So now we can see the stock price and also the revenue.
I might also want to add the property of whether I have invested in this company already.
So I can create a checkbox called invested.
For example, let's say I have invested in NVIDIA and Qualcomm.
I can just put a check on it.
I can also add a leadership property like the CEO of the company by choosing from a relation to another tag.
Let's find another tag called CEO.
When I choose it, I can create a relation between this tag and that tag.
So CEO is actually another tag.
In this tag I have the name of the CEO and the start date of the CEO.
So in the company tag I can easily choose the card from the CEO tag like Matthew Murphy is the CEO of Marvell
Lisa Su is the CEO of AMD.
Hock Tan is the CEO of Broadcam.
Nvidia is led by Jensen Huang and Qualcomm is led by Christiano Amon.
In that way I can create relations across cards that are under different tags.
Let's enter this card, you can see the backlink also exists from the relation property.
Not only can I create new properties on the tag, I can also add some properties that already exist in other tags.
For example I can click plus button here and see that there's a text property called Insight.
I have been using this property across other three tags and I also want to use this property in this tag as well.
So let me choose it and call it Insight.
For example I have some insights about NVIDIA like "they sell a lot of GPUs which is important to AI revolution"
Let me wrap cells so I can see the entire content here.
I can add insignts to this company as well as all the other companies.
Now we have like all this information laying in front of us.
I can also add a sort function to sort them by revenue.
And some of the companies below here I haven't really researched yet.
So I can also add a status property.
Let's choose the "select property" and call it "research status."
Here I can say this one is researched.
This one is also research as well, and this one is ongoing.
This one is also ongoing, and this one is nextup.
I will put some of the other companies into the backlog.
Now I have a status property where I can show my research status.
I can use it to create a kanban view.
I can see the companies that I have already researched on, the companies that is still in backlog, and the companies I'm currently research on.
So whenever I finish researching a company, I can simply drag it to another column in the kanban view.
If I want to hide all the cards that has no research status
I can simply create a custom filter where I choose the research status and only display the card that is not empty.
So that way I can easily see all the cards that have research status.
That's it.
That's a brief introduction of how you can use tag for your learning and research.
I hope with this example you can see how in some scenarios tag could be more useful than whiteboard.
The key insight that I want to convey in this video is that tag and whiteboard have very different strengths.
Whiteboard is particularly good at breaking down complex knowledge into atomic pieces and connect and visualize them to better see the relationship between ideas.
For example, if you are reading a book, watching online courses, or reading a very long article
You can easily use whiteboard to break things down and make sense of them.
But on the other hand, tag is particularly good at comparing notes that has the same type.
For example in our demo today we are using tag to compare many different companies.
We compare the key information such as stock price, revenue and insights.
You can see all this information at one glance in a dense format.
That is what tag is very good at.
You usually don't use tag to organize a topic but you use tag to organize notes that has the same type.
For example, these are all the tags that I personally use in my daily life.
I have a tag that is purely for recording meeting notes
Every single card inside this tag is a meeting note that happens at a specific date with a specific person.
Investor update is another tag where every month, I as a CEO of the company write an investor update to our investors
I store all investor updates in this tag.
I also have a tag for all the feature requests that out user sent
I have a tag for all the users that I have interviewed before.
I have a tag for some drafts that I am planning to publish on my blog.
I also have a tag for all the bigger tasks that I have to work on over the course of the past two years.
You can see that the name of this tag is not a topic.
It's not a topic like semiconductor supply chain.
No, it's a description of what this type of card is about
Like it's a meeting, it's a investor update, it's a task.
So you don't use tag for researching a topic.
You use tag to organize notes that have the same type.
When you do that, you'll find tag much, much more useful.
All right, that's everything I want to cover in this video about tags and properties.
As I mentioned in the beginning, you don't need to use tag unless you find it useful.
But if you decide to use it, I highly recommend you to follow some of the tips that I provided in this tutorial.
In the next video, I'm going to talk about how you can use journal and task to construct your daily workflow in Heptabase.
I'm looking forward to see you there.
