Devices FileClass

This fileClass defines the schema for all notes tagged with #devices.

How This Works

1. Any note with the tag #devices will automatically use this schema
2. Fields will appear in the Metadata Menu sidebar
3. You can edit fields through the UI with proper validation

Field Types Used

• Input: Single-line text fields
• Multi: Multiple values (lists) — used for manuals to hold a mix of wikilinks to in-vault PDFs and external URLs
• Select: Dropdown with predefined options
• Date: Date picker

Conventions

• model is the primary identifier (e.g., UD-ULTC4K, MBP M4 Max 16-inch). Required.
• manuals accepts both [[attachments/some-manual.pdf]] wikilinks and bare URLs.
• status defaults to active; set to retired / sold / broken / lost when the device leaves active use rather than deleting the note.
• Body sections: ## Specs for hardware specifications, ## Notes for prose, troubleshooting history, setup observations, etc.

Usage

1. Create a new note in Devices/ using the devices template (once created)
2. The note will have the #devices tag
3. This fileClass will automatically apply
4. Edit fields through the Metadata Menu UI in the sidebar
