Using relation & rollup properties

Notion databases become even more powerful when you link them together. Link to a row from another database with a relation, or show a specific property from a related table with a rollup.

A quick note: While the concepts outlined in this video are still useful, references to some buttons and clicks may be a bit outdated! Relations were redesigned in May 2022, so your experience may differ slightly from what’s pictured and described here.

What Notion calls database in a Relational Database world it's called a table and tables make up a database. It's other way around in Notion.

I was looking for video content of Using relation & rollup properties of the same db. I think was introduced past Nov 2020.

What if the existing relation fields in the configuration are all empty? I can't choose any source database.

But how can I filter the Tasks relation in my Project database to only show a task list with to do. Now I have a huge list with all done tasks as well. There is option in filtering for it.

Hi! Thanks for this! I would like to ask, I have a client database and a 'sold program database' and I would like to list the Actives programs that the client have purchased. With the rollup, I can list the sold program for the client but I would like to show only the ones that shows 'active' in the other column... Is it possible? Its like having a filter on the rollup! Thanks!

Why is the option "Configure rollup" not showing in my notion!?
Basically I can't use it now...

[marketrooper]

I have two databases that are connected through a relation but they are not syncing at all. For example my cities and countries, the cities are not automatically populating the country database even when I select the correct country in the related field... and therefore the rollup for the capital is not working either.. any ideas why?

Can I use diffrent tasks database for each project and link a property for diffrent projects to there tasks database ?

[tereenunpostit]

Is there any way to sum the days of the task that are only P1? I have a Categories database with expenses linked. I have rolled up the sum of the expenses, but I only want to see them monthly
