•By Status, which lists each of your custom statuses and the references with
those statuses. This list is automatically updated as the list of statuses changes.
Please see the chapter on Creating and Customizing a Library
for more
information about Reference Statuses.
•By Rating, which lists the different “star” ratings and shows the references to
which each rating has been assigned.
•By QuickTag, which shows references that have had each of the entries in the
QuickTags palette assigned to them. The hierarchy of smart collections based
on QuickTags is automatically kept in sync with the hierarchy in the QuickTag
palette. Please see the chapter on tagging
for more information about
QuickTags.
•By Type, which breaks down your library by type of reference.
In general, these built-in smart collection definitions are not directly controlled by
the user. That is, it is not possible to move, rename, add, or delete these categories
directly. On the other hand, changes to either the status list or the QuickTags
palette will cause those entries in these built-in smart collections to also be
modified. For example, if you create a new entry in the QuickTags palette, it will
show up in these smart collections as soon as the edit to the QuickTag palette is
committed.
These built-in smart collections reduce the need for custom smart collections in a
library, but they do not eliminate it. For example, if you want to see all of the
papers that are tagged with both of two tags, you will need to create your own smart
collection based on those conditions. Please see the section in this chapter on
Custom Smart Collections
.
The “Recent” Collections
There are a number of smart collections that help you find references that you have
either recently added or edited.
The most obvious collections are:
•Modified in the last day / week / month.
•Added in the last day / week / month.
These work about as you would expect. It is currently not possible to adjust the
time ranges used to create these smart collections.
In addition to these, there are a couple of other collections:
