Tana Tutorial | How to use Semantic Functions in Tana

Semantic functions are one of the things that got me sold on Tana. They allow you to build powerful organizational structures or information hierarchies from the bottom up.
I don't think you need to be intimidated by them, despite them being hidden in the advanced options of your field menu. If you approach them in a systematic way, they become easily accessible. In this video, I break down exactly how semantic functions work, and I'll also show some examples where they could be useful in your own workspace.

I appreciate the effort in teaching this subject in such a didactic way. Until now, I always felt like I was missing something....

[@CombiningMindsPKM]

Thanks for the feedback :)

[@azannos]

Great job as always....

[@CombiningMindsPKM]

Thanks, I appreciate that 🙏🏼

Great Video! Just to confirm in your ontology only the RELATIONSHIP field has semantic function turned on? No others?

[@CombiningMindsPKM]

Thanks 🙏🏼 The "Relationship" field is the main one, and is the main structure behind my workspace. There is another one that I experimented with for dates, but it wasn't working as I would have liked so I have parked it temporarily.

Great job. Is that a new thing in Tana where we can just out a # in the field and it will automatically gain the supertag of the column it's in? It's was annoying a few of us having supertags in the columns.

[@CombiningMindsPKM]

Thanks 🙏🏼 No, it's been around for a while - you just need to change the field to "Instance" and then it will auto-suggest the supertag :)
