How to make 4-quadrant database
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.
