# Meetings MOC
Meetings are timestamped events with other people, where information is exchanged and collected. Meeting notes are intrinsically ephemeral. They're stored in a separate Space than other Umami notes (`Timestamps/Meetings`) and rarely reviewed. If there's information in a meeting that needs to be accessed later, it should be moved into a more evergreen note in the Umami folder. 

**Template:** [[Template, Meeting]]

```meta-bind-button
label: New Meeting
hidden: false
class: ""
tooltip: ""
id: ""
style: default
actions:
  - type: templaterCreateNote
    templateFile: Extras/Templates/Template, Meeting.md
    folderPath: Timestamps/Meetings
    fileName: TKTK
    openNote: true

```

## Meeting Notes

```dataview
TABLE file.cday as Created, summary
FROM "Timestamps/Meetings" and -#MOC
SORT file.cday DESC
```

hi there! I can't seem to get my dataview table to work; I keep getting an error saying "no results to show for data query." here's how I have things set up:

meeting moc page:

example meeting note:

meeting note template:

folder structure:

I've changed a few things around, but none of it should have affected the dataview query. please advise!

@emetselchs Looks like the directory path in your Dataview code might need a slight tweak. Try replacing the FROM line with FROM "00-09 - Top Level/03 - Work/2023" instead

that worked! thank you so much! :)

Hi dannberg, thanks for sharing this, i've followed your guide and it's great except :
My button creates the page but does not run the templater code, I do have the templater set to true.
It works if I create it from the command.
Any idea ?

@Gabyheavy Check out the CREATING NEW MEETING BUTTON (CONTINUED) section on my full blog post. Are all your button maker settings the same as mine when you create the button?

Hi dannberg,

It creates the template when I click the button in the MOC, but it always physically moves the template and renames it??
I would have assumed it was a copy operation...
When I create a new note from the template using the command palette, it works as it should.
Any ideas?

@marcmauger It looks like there's a bug with the Buttons plugin. Hopefully there's a fix soon, but others have found success swapping it out with Meta Bind.

I haven't tried it myself, but there are more details in a conversation in the comments of my Meeting Note template gist.

I just updated the original tutorial post to use the Meta Bind plugin rather than Buttons. If anyone here was having issues with creating new meeting notes via the button, this should solve it. https://dannb.org/blog/2023/obsidian-meeting-note-template/

Also, in case anyone prefers to learn via video, I just turned this post into a YouTube video: https://youtu.be/Ud16HOQoS5Q
