Now we'll create a database and use it to show off essential database actions and features. You'll get to play with database properties, views, filters, and sorts - let's get into it

Create a new table
- Add a new page and select
Table. - The first column is where you enter the name of your database pages. Each column in a Notion table corresponds to a property that gives your item context.
- Click a property heading, then the menu under
Property typeto see all of your property choices.
Add data to your table
- For this example, we'll create a task database.
- Add some tasks you're working on in the
Namecolumn. - Now add some values to the
Tagscolumn using the multi-select property. Suggestion:P1,P2andP3to indicate priority of the task.
- Add a new property using the
+button to the right of theTagsheading. - Change its name to
Due Date. And underProperty type, selectDatefrom the menu. Now when you click on a cell underDue Date, you'll see the date picker.

- To open a row as a page, hover over a cell in the
Namecolumn and clickOPEN. It will look like this:
