Configuring Smart Stacks

Smart Stacks are like saved searches, similar to smart folders in Finder or smart playlists in iTunes. You configure rules for the smart stack, and it contains any mental notes that meet those rules.

To configure a smart stack:
  1. Either…

    • Double click the smart stack, or…
    • Select the smart stack in the source list on the left, and choose Get Info from the File menu, or…
    • Select the smart stack and click the cog button at the right of the note browser toolbar.
  2. Enter a title for the smart stack.

  3. Add any rules you want to apply to the notes in the smart stack. Mental Case inserts some sample rules, but you can delete or modify those as you see fit.

  4. Click Cancel to discard changes, or Save to keep your changes.
