The _Jump to Note_ function allows easy navigation between notes by searching for their title. In addition to that, it can also trigger a full search or create notes.
The _Quick search_ function does a full-text search (that is, it searches through the content of notes and not just the title of a note) and displays the result in an easy-to-access manner.
In the list view mode, each note is displayed in a single row with only the title and the icon of the note being visible by the default. By pressing the expand button it's possible to view the content of the note, as well as the children of the note (recursively).
In the calendar view, child notes are represented as events, with a start date and optionally an end date. The view also has interaction support such as moving or creating new events. See<aclass="reference-link"href="Note%20List/Calendar%20View.md">Calendar View</a>for more information.
The Calendar view of Book notes will display each child note in a calendar that has a start date and optionally an end date, as an event.

For each note of the calendar, the following attributes can be used:
| Name | Description |
| --- | --- |
| `#startDate` | The date the event starts, which will display it in the calendar. The format is `YYYY-MM-DD` (year, month and day separated by a minus sign). |
| `#endDate` | Similar to `startDate`, mentions the end date if the event spans across multiple days. The date is inclusive, so the end day is also considered. The attribute can be missing for single-day events. |
| `#startTime` | The time the event starts at. If this value is missing, then the event is considered a full-day event. The format is `HH:MM` (hours in 24-hour format and minutes). |
| `#endTime` | Similar to `startTime`, it mentions the time at which the event ends (in relation with `endDate` if present, or `startDate`). |
| `#color` | Displays the event with a specified color (named such as `red`, `gray` or hex such as `#FF0000`). This will also change the color of the note in other places such as the note tree. |
| `#calendar:color` | Similar to `#color`, but applies the color only for the event in the calendar and not for other places such as the note tree. |
| `#iconClass` | If present, the icon of the note will be displayed to the left of the event title. |
| `#calendar:title` | Changes the title of an event to point to an attribute of the note other than the title, can either a label or a relation (without the `#` or `~` symbol). See _Use-cases_ for more information. |
| `#calendar:displayedAttributes` | Allows displaying the value of one or more attributes in the calendar like this:<br><br> <br><br>`#weight="70" #Mood="Good" #calendar:displayedAttributes="weight,Mood"`<br><br>It can also be used with relations, case in which it will display the title of the target note:<br><br>`~assignee=@My assignee #calendar:displayedAttributes="assignee"` |
| `#calendar:startDate` | Allows using a different label to represent the start date, other than `startDate` (e.g. `expiryDate`). The label name **must not be** prefixed with `#`. If the label is not defined for a note, the default will be used instead. |
| `#calendar:endDate` | Similar to `#calendar:startDate`, allows changing the attribute which is being used to read the end date. |

Note that it's even possible to have a `#calendar:title` on the target note (e.g. “John Smith”) which will try to render an attribute of it. Note that it's not possible to use a relation here as well for safety reasons (an accidental recursion of attributes could cause the application to loop infinitely).
Depending on the current note, a panel will appear near the top-right of the note, right underneath the<aclass="reference-link"href="Ribbon.md">Ribbon</a>. These buttons offer additional interaction that is specific to that particular note.

* Use the  or the  button to move around the splits.
* Each [tab](Tabs.md) has its own split view configuration (e.g. one tab can have two notes in a split view, whereas the others are one-note views).
* The tab will indicate only the title of the main note (the first one in the list).
In Trilium, tabs allow easy switching between notes.
