⭐️ Daily Survey

Create a super easy step-by-step vertical checklist for your database. Below is an example of a daily review survey. This page uses linked databases, a filter to show entries that only land on today, and selective properties to show for each step. Here’s how to make one for your own workspace.

How The Page Is Made

With one database, create a series of linked databases. A linked database is a feature in the program that allows the user to link to an existing database.

  • All entries added to linked databases will be added to the original.

  • All filters, viewable properties, database views, and sorts can be unique for the linked database and will not change the original.

Step 1: Create A DatabASe

  • Create a page.

  • Choose database type.

Step 2: Create Link To Original Database

  • Navigate to page you want to design.

  • Create link to database (Trigger: /link data).

Step 3: Create Two Columns

  • Databases can’t be dragged into a new column.

  • Drag and drop one block next to another first.

  • Then drag the linked database to one side.

Step 4: Create Unique Database Views

  • For every linked database, create unique filters, sorts, and properties to view. In this example, I want to record my daily mood at the top of the page first.

  • The filter shows only entries created today.

  • Find all ways to customize a database view via the database menu next to the blue new button.

Extra: How To Center Tags In Notion

You can use empty characters around text in select and multiselect dropdown menus. If you have any issues, check your shortcuts on your computer to see if any other shortcuts are interfering with these commands.

  • Mac: option + space

  • Windows: alt + 255
