Databases
A database in AuroraDocs is a collection of pages with structured properties. Each row is a full page — click any row to open it in the editor.
Creating a database
- Press
⌘Nand choose Database as the object type, or - Type
/databaseinside any page to embed one inline.
Views
Every database supports five view types. Switch between them using the view tabs at the top of the database.
| View | Description |
|---|---|
| Table | Spreadsheet-style rows and columns |
| List | Compact vertical stream |
| Gallery | Card grid with cover images |
| Board | Kanban columns grouped by a Select property |
| Timeline | Gantt chart laid out by date range properties |
Named view tabs
Save multiple named views on the same database. Each view tab has its own filter, sort order, and visible columns. Click + Add view to create a new one.
Properties
Every row can have any number of properties. Supported types:
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Text | Short text |
| Number | Numeric value |
| Select | Single option from a list |
| Multi-select | Multiple options |
| Date | A date or date range |
| Checkbox | True / false |
| URL | A clickable link |
| Email address | |
| Phone | Phone number |
| File | File attachment |
| Relation | Link to rows in another database |
| Rollup | Aggregate related rows (count, sum, average, min, max) |
| Formula | Computed value from other properties |
Filtering
Click Filter to add filter rules. You can combine rules with AND (all must match) or OR (any must match). Each rule specifies a property, an operator, and a value.
Common operators: is, is not, contains, does not contain, is empty, is not empty, >, <, ≥, ≤.
Sorting
Click Sort to add sort rules. Multiple sort rules are applied in priority order — drag to reorder them.
Summaries
Number, rollup, and formula columns can show summary values such as count, sum, average, minimum, or maximum where the view supports it.
Quick search
Click the Search icon in the database toolbar to filter rows by a text query across all text fields.
Relations & rollups
A Relation property links rows in one database to rows in another. Once linked, a Rollup property can aggregate the linked rows — for example, summing a number property or counting the number of related items.
Inline properties
Properties aren't just for databases. You can add structured properties to any page via the Properties panel (click ··· → Properties). This turns any note into a mini-database entry.
Tags
The built-in tags property is available in high-traffic database and collection views. Hashtags typed in page content can also sync into object tags, making tag routes and database filters line up.
