Although it is a relatively simple template, in Notionología we always seek to give that extra mile. That is why we have decided to create this usage guide for this template. Let's start!

1. Template Structure

This database has a structure build on two main databases that we'll explain below.

1.1. Categories database

Each element (hereinafter "Item") that we add to our database must correspond to a category. That is, we will relate each item to a category that we have previously created in the category database.

Currently, in this template, we created a database that have the following categories:

• SaaS
• Templates
• Education
• Subscriptions

As you can see, within each category we have different columns that tell us, through roll-ups, the number of items that we have in each category, the items that we have bought and also the items that we have thought to give away.

1.2. Item database

This is the database that will contain all those Items that we have in our wishlist. Thus, in this table we can relate them to the corresponding category and fill the following columns:

• Assign a Status. This is a long-term purchase, a pending purchase, an item that we already purchased, or if the item is archived.
• Assign a priority. As its name suggests, we can decide if the purchase of an item is urgent (high priority) or if, on the other hand, we are not in a great hurry (medium priority) or it is not so important that we make the purchase (low priority).
• Purchase Date. In case we decide to buy an Item, it is ideal to be able to establish the purchase date to keep control of your expenses.
• Gift idea. We are browsing the internet and suddenly we find that product that reminds us of someone. We simply add it to our database and click the "Gift?" Check box, assign it a name and that's it!

2. How to use the template?

Follow these 3 easy steps ↓

2.1. Create categories

To create your categories is as easy as adding a new element to the Categories database. Now, if you want to keep the same style, you have to do the following:

• Go to the Figma file that you will find on this page (end of the page) and choose one of the circles that are designed there and export them in 2X .PNG. (This will be your page icon)
• Go to Phosphor Icons and select an icon according to the category. On the left of the search bar, make sure the icon style is "Duotone". Once we have chosen the icon, copy in .svg and paste it into the Figma file. Resize to 210X210 and change the icon color to the same color as the circle for your page icon.
• Place the icon in the center of the banner that we have prepared with the name "Cover [NAME]". (Be aware that we have prepared this template in Spanish, so you can find some Spanish content inside the file)
• Export each image in .jpg x2 and use them as cover for your categories.
