You are already aware of dashboards in Notion.
No? Under a rock?
Dashboards give the user a complete overview of all the relevant stuff in one place.
Think of dashboards as a cockpit in an aircraft. A dashboard in an aircraft shows the pilot various readings and important metrics essential to the flight right in front. Similarly, a Notion dashboard can contain linked databases set up to show the relevant information in one place.
To let you, the pilot, work through it smoothly.
You might overdo it and make the dashboard slow and add more friction. So, better be mindful of your particular use case and how you will approach it.
When selecting a template, keep a few things in mind—the template’s structure, aesthetics, linked databases, views, and filtering.
