I have a deck that includes a bunch of different cards with different tags.
Some of those tags are (currently) much higher priority than the others, and I want to make sure to study the cards with those tags first (separately from the rest of the deck), and to otherwise not deviate from the review schedule.
How do I create a custom study session / filtered deck that includes cards 1) with the relevant tag and 2) that would come up in my review today? (They would come up in my review today because theyâre either new cards, or learning cards, relearning cards, cards that are due for review, or cards that are overdue for review.)
If click âcustom studyâ on that deck, and click âstudy by card state or tagâ, I have a number of options, but all of them leave out some cards that should be included.
The âDue cards onlyâ in particular gives me a popup âno cards matched the criteria that you providedâ (which doesnât make any sense, since there are definitely due cards with that tag). Relatedly, when I try to make a filtered deck with âis:dueâ and the tag, it says that no cards are matching that criteria.
âAll review cards in random orderâ gives me a custom study session entirely of cards that are not due yet? (Also they only have two buttons, instead of the usual 4? Why is that?)
There doesnât appear to be an option which is âDue cards and new cards and learning cardsâ.
Can someone help me out? Am I misunderstanding something here?
I have an inkling that the problem might be that âLearningâ cards count as neither due nor nor new, and all of the cards that are showing up as âdueâ on my home page are actually not technically âdueâ but âlearningâ. Does that make any sense?
If so, how do I start a custom study session, or filtered deck, of âlearningâ cards?
That query doesnât match any cards. Which makes sense, given my current apparently flawed understanding, because there shouldnât be any cards that are both due and new, theyâre mutually exclusive.
Also, when I filter for just is:due AND tag:TAGNAME that also returns 0 results. Iâm not sure why.
Some cards canât be pulled into a filtered deck. With the old scheduler (see below) that includes learning cards.
Thatâs the behvaviour of the old scheduler. Maybe give the v3 scheduler a try.
Thatâs correct.
In the browser? Then there apparently are no more due cards with that tag today.
Now as for your actual problem, you can create a filtered deck with two filters and use one to select due cards and the other one to select new cards. However, this requires the v3 scheduler and isnât as flexible as a regular deck.
With the old scheduler you canât pull learning cards into filtered decks, for some reason. If I want to make a filtered deck (or a custom study session) that includes âlearningâ cards, I need to upgrade to version 3 of the scheduler.
The reason why when I try to do a custom study session with âDue cards onlyâ returns an error âno cards matched the criteria that you providedâ, is that all of the cards that I have that are âdueâ of that tag, are also learning cards. (Iâm surprised that a card can both be a learning card and be due, but maybe this is because Iâve set this deck so that my interval for âagainâ is 24 hours.)
It seems like my main problem is that Iâm using the old scheduler, and that is giving me pretty confusing results.
Testing that I did to verify my understanding: I put each of these searches in the browser, and also put it into the search bar for building a filtered deck, to compare results.
tag:calculus is:due
Browser: 3 cards
Filtered deck: Only one card
tag:calculus is:learn
Browser: 2 cards, both of which are also in due.
Filtered deck: [error message: âThe provided search did not match any cards. Would you like to revise it?â]
