How to Create a Database in Notion

Quick summary

A Notion database lets you organize information as a table, board, calendar, or other view directly inside any page. You can insert a database using a slash command or the block menu, then convert it from an inline view to a full-page database for richer data management.

Steps

1. Open a Notion page and choose to insert a database using the slash command or by clicking the options menu at the bottom of the page.
2. Click the three-dot menu to explore additional database formats and view types available in Notion.
3. Type the slash command (/database) anywhere on a page to search for and insert a database in your preferred format.
4. Select the inline database option and click to insert it directly into your current page.
5. Your table database is now created. Click the six-dot icon to open the block menu for additional configuration options.
6. From the block menu, select the option to turn the inline database into a full page.
7. Your inline database converts to a full-page database link. Click the link to open the full-page view.
8. You can now insert data, add properties, and manage your Notion database in full-page mode.
