How to add a property

This is how it looks if I select Date and name it as "Deadline".

Edit property values

Data put under a property (or a column) is called a value. Setting up a proper property type enables you to quickly enter a value.

Select

  • Add unique tags to this property by clicking on the property name and then choosing Edit property

  • Clicking on Add option to add unique values

  • You can also enter a new tag by clicking on a cell under the column, typing what you want, and pressing enter after each. Colors are randomly assigned.

Multi-Select

  • Work almost the same as Select except that each value can hold more than one tag.

  • For example, Priority is a Select property while Categories is a Multi-Select property.

Date

  • Clicking to add data will bring up a calendar picker, where you can select the day relevant to the database item — maybe it's a start date or deadline.

  • Toggle on Include time to choose an exact time, not just a day.

  • Click Date format & Time format to modify these settings.

Delete, duplicate, and rename a property

Click on the property name to edit the property. As you can see in the above screenshots, clicking on "Status" will trigger an action menu where you can find "Edit property", "Hide", "Duplicate", and "Delete".

Delete

  • Select Delete

  • Then you will need to click on OK to delete the property

Duplicate

  • Select Duplicate

  • A new column with the same property type will show up to the right of the duplicated column.

Rename a property

  • Choose "Edit property"

  • Use Backspace to delete the text "Status"

  • Enter a new name

  • Click anywhere outside the dropdown menu where you edited the property name to close up the menu or simply pressing ESC

Hide or show a property

Hide a property

  • Click on the property name to open up the action menu

  • Click on Hide

Show a property

  • Go to Settings located at the top right corner of the database

  • Click on Properties

  • Toggle on the 👁️ icon next to "Progress" to show it

Rearrange properties

  • Long press the column header to move it to another place

Adjust the width of a column
