Optimize your Notion productivity: Global Tags Database | Advanced Tutorial

Great!! But how can I use these global tags to organize different pages (and pages inside pages)? I need to put them all in a table too?

Helpful. Thank you. When you added the related Global tags on the new page (7m20sec), why didn't you also relate the child tag? What am I missing?

IDK. Should I be listening to a grown man in a pokemon hat?

The problem I'm encountering is that if I filter any table by "Parent Tag" it's not populating the results of the child tags, unless those specific projects had both the child tag and parent tag noted. Also when I look at notes in the parent tag database, it does not contain notes for the child tags. It seems like the primary benefit of going through all of this would be so that the child tags can be aggregated within the parent tag. So if I have facebook, twitter, linkedin - as child tags, and "social media" as parent tag. Then when I filter a table for "social media", ideally it would show all facebook twitter linkedin etc. Additionally, if looking at the database file for "twitter" it should contain notes just for twitter, but if looking at the database file for "social media" it should contain the notes for all. Is this even possible? That's the main thing I'm hoping to achieve.

Great video thanks, only feedback is some critical parts were sped up too fast so it required some pausing frame by frame to catch some of the selected items.

Exactly what I needed. Thanks, Jordan. And thanks again for helping with that Notion Shortcut in your community a while back!

well, is there a way to make the tag inherent works? say if i add a child tag to a note, the note will also show up when filtered using parent tag

Why do people keep calling it tags , those are called pages , which is text , not tags , I need the new database to have the tags of the master as headers , notion Can't do this ?

The edits don't help. Baby pictures / sounds and random beeps from a network grid... This is an improved productivity video.... And you are distracting your viewer.

Thanks for the video! Is there a way that I can choose from the parents tag in one column of the table view, and then in another column, to choose from the child tags, that relate to the relevant parent that I choose in the first column. thank a lot for your brilliant work!

Thank you for the video, I truly enjoy the concept of child tags, most tutorial only introduce tags but not grouping them. One caveat though, I have to click on dropdown menu arrow in each parent tag to see child tags, which is very annoying if you have dozens of them. Is there anyway that all the dropdown menu are opened as soon as I open the Global Tags page?

Thanks for this video. I was already doing this, but didn't know how to sub-group and this made everything so much neater. Also, I love the Bulbasaur Cap!

Hi! Im trying to understand also how you made the "status" row in your notion page you are showing in the tutorial. Is it something you would share or not? :) Love the database otherwise :D Perfect video

This is super useful, and is SO CLOSE to being a perfect solution. The big stumbling block I'm coming up against is that views/filters don't seem to work (actually they work inconsistently, and I'm not sure why). For example say within my Global Tags structure I have a 'social media' parent tag and nested under that tags for Twitter, Instagram etc. The 'parent tag' column against those tags shows 'social media' as the/a parent tag as you would expect, yet if I apply a filter 'Parent tag= social media', I get no results (same result for ANY parent tag filter I try). Occasionally I get a correct result when trying the same thing with the 'Child Tag' filter, but it's inconsistent and I have no idea why, and in any case what I really want is to be able to filter by Parent tag.

Why is it that I don't have a blue "New" button in the top right corner? UPDATE: I figured it out. I had to first pick a datasource. I imported all of my Evernote notes and for me, this datasource was one of my Evernote Notebooks.

Jordan, thanks so much for solving my struggle to figure this out... I too come from Evernote, so you understand my frustration with parts of Notion (but I love it potential to be my one place for task and knowledge management!). Keep up the good work. PS: I love your style, but I found it hard to understand your side comments since your voice was lower and less clear to me.

Is it possible to share one sub-item tag into two parent tags? For example I have two parents, Movies and Videogames and I want the same "Indie" sub-item tag inside those two without creating a new sub-item
If it's not I don't see the point of having a hierarchy like this and I'll stick just with individual global tags without sub-items

You rock, dude! I appreciate this video! The method seems about the best of what I've seen for people trying to work-around Notion not having hierarchical tags or folders. I am trying this next. I even enjoyed your psychotic interludes. sub++

This is gold Jordan 🔥🔥🔥
