Step 1: Create a boardview database

• Name 4 unique select properties. Below is an example for recurring tasks (daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly).

Step 2: Show one select and hide the rest

• To hide a select, navigate to (...) and find "hide."

Step 3: Create three linked databases under the original

• How to create a linked database: trigger (/linked database) and search for name of original database. In this example, it is called "Recurring tasks."

• Change each linked database to boardview. (navigate to "+Add a view" next to database title)

• Remember: you can also hide the "No Status" column for a clean look.

Step 3a: Follow step two for each linked database

Step 4: Configure databases

• Navigate to properties and change card size to "Large." Configure card size for every database.

Step 5: Create two empty columns

• Create two empty blocks (enter twice), and drag one block next to the other.

Step 6: Drag databases under the columns

• As shown below, the quad matrix will form.

Tip: dragging “cards” or entries is possible with any database view type, and can be dragged across two different types of views (ex. calendar and list).
