See this content in the original post

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.
