Notion 101: A Rookie Must Know! What are Databas / How to Use

If you've ever opened Notion and been confused, "Database, what is it?"

This post already explains and gives examples of how to use it.

Database in Notion is "How to Manage Systematic Data."

That allows you to keep everything in order, such as

• ✅ To-do list daily

• 🧠 not yet posted ideas

• 💸 Income, expenditure each month

• 🗓️ Content Calendar

• 🛍️ List of products or projects in progress

🔍, how many Databases in Notion?

1.Table - Like Excel But Looks Better. Super Easy To Use!

2.Board - Trello style, manage the work in stages.

3. Calendar - Enter the date and display it as a calendar!

4.Gallery - Fits to show photos such as cafe reviews

5.List - Easy to use Clean fits to write down ideas

6.Timeline - Gantt chart-like design for long plans

7.Chart - Fits Display Data Analysis as Graph

8.Feed - "Gallery View + Latest Filter" that looks like Social feed

✨ How to start?

1. Open a new page in Notion

2. Select "Database" → Choose a layout suitable for the job.

3.Add topics (Properties) such as date, status, category, etc.

4. Fill in and try Filter / Sort / Group!

💡 A new trick.

• Let's start with the table.

• Use Filter / Sort to view specific data

• Press the "+ New" button to add new items throughout.

• Use Relation to link multiple pages of data in the future

Notion is not as difficult to use as it seems.

A good system. It doesn't have to be complicated.

Just have to "work and solve life problems." ☁️

Where is anyone learning to use? Let's share the experience of the abuse.

... Read moreหลายคนอาจคิดว่า Notion Database ซับซ้อนเกินไปสำหรับมือใหม่ แต่จริงๆ แล้วมันเป็นเครื่องมือที่ใช้งานง่ายและคล่องตัวมาก ถ้าคุณยังไม่เคยลองใช้ Timeline ใน Notion ผมแนะนำให้เริ่มจากสร้าง Project Timeline ที่แบ่งแยกช่วงเวลาหรือขั้นตอนการทำงานอย่างชัดเจน เหมาะสำหรับคนที่ต้องบริหารโปรเจกต์ระยะยาว จะช่วยให้เห็นภาพรวมและติดตามความคืบหน้าได้ดีขึ้น นอกจากนี้ การเลือก Layout ของ Database ที่หลากหลาย เช่น Board สำหรับจัดการงานแบบคันบัน หรือ Gallery เพื่อโชว์รูปภาพสวยๆ ทำให้ Notion ตอบโจทย์การใช้งานได้ทั้งงานส่วนตัวและงานธุรกิจ เคล็ดลับเพิ่มเติมคือลองใช้ Relation เพื่อลิงก์ข้อมูลระหว่างหน้า เพิ่มประสิทธิภาพมากขึ้น เช่น เชื่อมตารางรายรับรายจ่ายกับ To-do list หรือ ตารางไอเดียโพสต์ ช่วยให้จัดการข้อมูลได้ครบถ้วนและเชื่อมโยงกันอย่างชาญฉลาด สุดท้าย แนะนำให้เปิดใจลองสร้าง Database ของตัวเองแบบง่ายๆ เช่น รายการที่ต้องทำในแต่ละวัน หรือ ปฏิทินกิจกรรมส่วนตัว เพราะยิ่งใช้งานจริงจะยิ่งเข้าใจและปรับแต่งให้เหมาะกับการทำงานและชีวิตประจำวันของคุณได้มากขึ้น
