<aside> 📙 Connecting data in Notion can be achieved through 4 different methods. The first being Common Properties. The second being a Relation. The third being a Parent-Child Relation. And the fourth being a Nested Database. Here is how they work.

1. Common Properties

When propert(ies) match between two entries.

• You can pivot this data into a Boardview to visualize all data associated with similar tags
• You can pivot this data into a Calendarview to visualize all data in a similar month.
• As well, you can view data with multiple conditions like similar dates AND tags using a filter.

2. Database Relation

When database A connects to database B using a Relation property

• Every connection made to another database will automate a relation going back to the original database. For example, the above contact list includes a relation to Company Cards. Inside each company card will be a relation going back to its corresponding contact.
