One of the most useful ways to manage and organize information in Notion is by using tags and filters. These features allow you to sort and search through information in a database, making it much easier to find what you need. Here's how you can use tags and filters:
- Adding tags: You can add tags to any item in a database by clicking on the item, and then clicking on the tag icon on the bottom bar. Once you have added a tag, you can type in the tag name, and press enter to create it. You can also use pre-existing tags by clicking on the tag name and select one. You can add as many tags as you need to each item.
- Filtering by tags: Once you have added tags to items in your database, you can use them to filter your database. To filter by tags, click on the filter button on the top bar, and select "Tags" from the list. You will be presented with a list of all the tags you have used in the database, and you can select one or more to filter by.
- Sorting by tags: You can sort your database by tags by clicking on the sort button on the top bar and selecting the tag you want to sort by. You can sort in ascending or descending order by clicking on the arrows.
- Searching: Notion has a powerful search feature, allowing you to search for specific words or phrases in your databases. You can access the search feature by clicking on the search icon on the top bar.
- Combining filters and sorts: You can also combine filters and sorts to refine your search. For example, you can filter by a specific tag and then sort the results by date or by some other property.
By utilizing tags and filters in Notion, you can quickly and easily sort and search through information in your databases, making it much easier to find what you need. Additionally, by tagging your information you can also track information by topic and make it easy to find again when you need it.
