Enhancing Productivity with Notion: Save time on projects by supercharging your productivity with Notion’s powerful features and templates

Great Introductory tool for Supporting Database Integratoin
Looking for a way to build productivity without an expensive initial investment? This is the book for you. Notion offers a free to low-cost option to build and link databases, construct useful web pages, and update work performance. The book covers everything from initial setup to the best methods others have used through Notion to improve delivery. The comprehensive look covers building a data base, integrating formulas, and linking databases to create success across multiple teams.The first section details the basic building blocks for integrating your team. Personal use is free while expanded use costs up to $8 a month, less than you spend on a Starbucks coffee. This area covers the building blocks and shortcuts needed to expedite your creation with easy to follow screen shots and instructions. The basic formula works similar to your Windows Explorer so most folks can jump right in.After learning the basics, the next section works with building a database structure to support your webpages. Learn how to build basic properties, examine cells with number, date, Boolean and string properties, then use those functions to help create calendars, workflows, and timelines by linking multiple functions across the tool. The DB relationship items allow calculations to be performed on a subordinate section, and then carried in to the main page to keep the web page clean and clear. The advanced formulas aid in searching, and the Notion tool provides inline assistance for syntax and examples. These aids are extremely useful and prevent the constant googling for how to build a COUNTIF vs a COUNTIFS command when comparing multiple fields.Finally, the book looks at more advanced workflows, building an advanced integration, and using APIs to link in other functions. A good discussion appears on the risks and limitations of linking to external tools based on Notion only reporting if the trigger for the action actually appears in Notion. So if you’ve linked to an external collect, and that function fails, you’ll just be missing the information in Notion and have to manually search. At the same time, you can use the advanced properties to search for failed triggers and pull those into a subordinate area for management.A great book and a great start for those looking to build better integration. The final section covered fourteen different implementations others have used to increase their productivity when starting with Notion. They also offer links to a robust user community to find the answers you need. Recommend this for anyone looking for a way to track business outcomes, and increase the value without significant added expense. Probably best for small business with minimal IT support.
