Summary

This lesson on Notion databases covers the basics of creating and using databases to manage tasks, calendars, notes, CRMs, and custom dashboards.

Notion Databases: The Ultimate Beginner’s Guide:

Description:

In the video version of this lesson, we’ll be using everything we learn to create a useful example database – a simple task manager, which you could include in the personal dashboard that we’ve been building throughout the other lessons in this series.

How to Create a Notion Database:

The best way to learn is by doing – by trying things out, experimenting, and getting your hands dirty. So let’s start this guide out by covering how to actually create a Notion database.

Doing so is simple; just type /database on any Notion page, and you’ll see a list of database options.

You can start out by choosing Database – Inline, which will create a brand-new database right on that page. Here’s a very simple example database that lists some of my favorite movies:

By default, your new database will be displayed as a table. Notion offers other database layouts, but a table is a great starting point.

There are a couple of alternative ways to create a database as well. First, you can create a blank page (see my lesson on creating pages), and then select one of the database options:

You can also use the / command to create a database with the specific layout you want. The options include:

/Table view
/Board view
/Gallery view
/List view
/Calendar view
/Timeline view

If you create a database block using a layout command, Notion will give you the option to either create a Linked Database (which links to an existing source database), or to create a new database.

There are later sections in this guide for both (click to jump to them):

For now, it’s just useful to know the ways you can create new databases.
