1. What is Notion AI's database creation feature?
Today we'll be introducing a new feature in Notion AI, which allows you to create a database simply by giving instructions to Notion AI.
Simply tell Notion AI what kind of database you want to create, and it will automatically suggest a database.
Creating a database from scratch can take a surprisingly long time, and even beginners may find it difficult.
The database creation function makes it possible for even beginners to create such databases efficiently and easily.
In addition, it is packed with useful features such as the ability to select properties and views, automatic layout adjustment, and a guide function recommended for beginners.
2. How to have Notion AI create a database
Let's take a look at how to get Notion AI to create a database for you.
1. Create an empty database
2. On the page, click "+" and select "Database: Inline" or "Database: Full Page"
3. The option "Build with AI" will appear, click on it
4. When the prompt appears, specify the purpose of the database you want to create.
5. NotionAI will start creating your database, and once it's done, you'll be taken to the customization screen.
6. On the customization screen, you can select the properties you want, change them, or add them. On the next screen, you can also select the view.
7. Once you have customized it to your liking, click "Finish" and your database will be created.
3. Automatically creates views and properties
With the automatic database creation function, you simply tell the AI what database you want to create, and it will automatically create the appropriate properties and views.
Example: "Create a project management database" and "I want to list ongoing projects by department."
Example: A board view of project management grouped by department has been created.
If you make it yourself, you have to choose and assemble each piece one by one, but this is very convenient because it adjusts the look to suit you from the start.
Another great feature is that it automatically sets icons for properties, choosing the appropriate icon to match the property name.
The contents of tags such as status and priority are automatically set, so you can start using them right after creating them.
It is also recommended for beginners who don't know what types of properties and views there are.
4. Automatically adjusts layout
It also supports the "Layout Function" released last year, which automatically organizes properties for easy viewing when you open a page.
This is a very useful feature for databases that require many properties.
If there are any hidden properties, you can display them by pressing the "Show details" button in the upper right corner.
You can change the layout by selecting "Customize Layout" from "•••" in the top right corner of the page, so try adjusting it to make it easier to use.
5. Recommended for beginners! Usage support function
Additionally, as a user support feature that beginners will appreciate, clicking "Tour" at the bottom of the completed database will automatically guide you through how to use the database.
Even if you are not yet very familiar with Notion, you can start using it without any confusion, so you can rest assured.
summary
