Chapter 7: Database Features and Functions

Thankfully, the advanced properties of the Notion database help increase the features and flexibility drastically. The relation property combines different databases and transfers data, and the rollup property acts as a lookup of information from other databases.

In addition to this, the filtering and sorting options on each database view can add another level of flexibility in viewing the database brought together by the various properties.

In this chapter, we're going to cover the following:

How to use the relation property
How to use the rollup property
The database sorting option
The database filtering option
Database grouping

You will learn how to use each of these advanced database features to your advantage, bringing together all the data from your workspace to create whatever view suits you and/or your team.
