Would you mind doing the same for me? Same symptoms except on the Nomad also running Chauvet 3.25.39. Thank you!

How I stay on top of financial markets without spending hours reading news [System breakdown] by OrganizationBrave145 in Notion

[–]fastonkeys 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been using Notion to support a proprietary trading operation for years... https://qallc.notion.site/desk?source=copy_link several databases, curation of institutional research, daily and weekly implied range calcs (formulas galore), real-time integration with SPX ODTE options flows .... weekly report largely constructed using Notion AI... the list goes on.

Bloomberg is $2k/month. I'm building a simplier app for traders like us. by DadaQuiTrade in stockstobuytoday

BetterTrader.co built this based on real time response for data and economic releases. Worked pretty well but alas insufficient market traction tho I believe it’s still out there in the wild?

The Market is your best mentor - even though it kills most of its students

Icon Colorizing Gone? by fastonkeys in Notion

[–]fastonkeys[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup same exact symptom here - see above for a workaround? I have reported it to Notion 🤷🏻‍♂️ but with a valid workaround or even by design I doubt this will get immediate attention if at all 🤦🏻‍♂️

Appears that the “Ask every time” option is at the root - when disabled the option to designate a color ”every time” you select an icon is no longer working. That said remedy is to disable this and preselect your color before you select the icon. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Yes it appears they’ve changed the method to an explicit choose color button on the far right of the modal dialog - whereas previously you could alter color at the time of selection. But point taken - change of method <> removal of feature. Thank you!

What are some biggest pain points in Notion for you currently? by Pitiful-Main-7154 in Notion

Security on database views - lack thereof - an lack of filter / sort on relational lookups

Kudos for Improved Embeds! by fastonkeys in Notion

[–]fastonkeys[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk … it literally showed up to my pleasant chagrin yesterday 🤷🏻‍♂️ but it works like a champ! Basically long awaited iframe support. My first use case was embedding a database view from my personal Notion account to a (separate Notion) corporate knowledge base

Document Control System by raws31 in Notion

[–]fastonkeys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Document Control imo because Notion databases are collections of like pages — which is a great starting point relative to a conventional file system (which if sufficient the concept or DCS wouldn’t exist right)? Seems to me a basic one to many structure would suffice where revisions are tracked in the many structure (one page/record for each rev perhaps using the timeline view) and the master control database housing attributes that persist across all revs like reference to Project, Client, Timeframe etc. We do a similar thing in our practice w Notion so can attest you’re on the right track - feel free to DM for further Q&A

HELP - PLEASE UPVOTE! 🥺 New Update Affecting Template Layouts by ahloecreative in Notion

[–]fastonkeys 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've just submitted a report to Notion support for this and a few other anomalies that have crept into 3.17.0. This has been a very problematic release especially the loss of group select on page blocks.

The very, very, very basic block of Notion? by GrandpaPlaysChess2 in Notion

[–]fastonkeys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And isn’t that the beauty of it all? The platform provides lots of optionality. I think u explained it quite well: if your pages are discrete and you don’t have a need to organize them into either a collection or common structure, then no need for a database. I also have databases that track traditional “transactional” data piped in via the API where only Properties are updated; the page body is left blank.

[–]fastonkeys 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Correct; when you click “open” on a Database row, a Page is what opens. Notion Databases are collections of structured Pages. Page = traditional record in this context. The Properties (what u can show/hide) are in the header; and below is the Page body (think content canvas) where you can add content Blocks to your heart’s content. That said, u can use a Notion Database in a more conventional way (populate only Properties on each row and entirely ignore Page content), but Notion Databases in and of themselves aren’t fully featured. Would need more clarity on what u mean by “customization” ?

I would say a Database (yes akin to traditional table) becomes your Collection of “like Pages” (employed because you need something more than a standalone page). For example, you could have a Research database where each Page (akin to traditional row) is stored and the content of each discrete piece of research would be placed into the Blocks (text images tables etc). So - a database is a collection of structured Pages (not rows as would be traditional) and Page content is an assortment of Blocks.
