Building Data Dashboards in Notion

This guide will help you create effective data dashboards in Notion to track and visualize important metrics for your projects.

Step 1: Plan Your Dashboard

Based on your "Build data dashboards" task, you need to create dashboards that will:

• Measure activation and retention against control groups
• Give cross-functional partners self-service information about tooltip effectiveness
• Track new feature adoption with new events

Step 2: Create Database Views

<aside> Since charts are database views, you can create them anywhere in Notion by navigating to the page where you want the view to appear and typing /chart. You'll be prompted to link an existing database.

Step 3: Set Up Dashboard Components

• Activation & Retention Dashboard
• Tooltip Effectiveness Dashboard
• Feature Adoption Dashboard

Step 4: Combine Into a Master Dashboard

You can bring multiple charts together into a page, then click and drag them around to create a comprehensive dashboard. This allows stakeholders to see all relevant metrics in one place.

Step 5: Additional Next Steps

• [x] Ask Jonny for access to Hex (as mentioned in your task)
• [x] Schedule cross-functional meeting to collect feedback and requests
