Skills demonstrated

Bringing an exported file into Notion as a database, and reading what the software decided about every column before trusting any of it · Choosing a property type for a reason, and knowing what a wrong type stops you doing · Repairing the defects an export arrives with — a note row, a name written several ways, a stray space, a word where a number belongs, a code no reader knows, an empty cell a count depends on · Building views that each answer one named question, and knowing that a view's settings are its own · Reading a count and a total off a database, and checking either against something derived another way · Writing a formula property that repairs a column, and explaining it a piece at a time · Relating two databases so that one can count the other, without duplicating either · Collecting new records through a form, and knowing where the answers land · Publishing a page to the web, saying exactly who can then see it, and taking it down again

What was built

A Notion page holding a service-job database of a few hundred jobs, every property the type it should be, four formula properties — two repairing defects you found yourself and two banding a number into labels you can group by — a table view and a board view that answer named questions, a chart, a second database of technicians related to the first with a rollup that counts their work, a form that adds a new job, a reusable job template, and the whole thing published at a web address you can hand to a stranger.

The 6 sessions, and when each was completed on their own

Each session was completed twice: once with step-by-step guidance on one company’s data, then on a second company’s data from a brief, with guidance only when asked. Every check passed on both. Alongrail records the sessions, the checks and the dates; the dashboard itself is the learner’s own, hosted where they chose.
