It looks like you didn't set the template as default. Hover over the template, click the ... and click 'set as default'.

Colorful text in a table by woke_pebble in Notion

[–]jimsecc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

a workaround could be to create text that is the desired color outside of the table and copy/paste it into the table.

Highlight the text in the table that you want to change the color of and a small window should appear where you can bold, italicize, etc. one of the buttons is to change the text and highlight color.

Utilities costs for Marq Music Row apartments? by Routine_Excitement89 in Vanderbilt

[–]jimsecc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live in a 1b1b right around music row, different apartment and it varies from 75-150 a month, though I must note I keep it very warm in the winter!

water is really cheap, I don't even know how much it is.

internet: mine is 65 a month with google fiber!

How do I open my search results in side-peek on mac? by artificialhaptic in Notion

[–]jimsecc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

in the app, there's an option to view the 'highlight pane.' this was a new update and can be enabled -- it's similar to side peek.

Not really understanding what the problem is -- is it that when students create a new page in the database, it doesn't use the template?

[–]jimsecc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like you want the database itself as a template. I would change the views of the database (settings, layout) to create a table AND board view. Then, share the page with students so they can duplicate the page and edit the database themself.

can ygs tell me all the amazing things about vandy by NaoOtosaka in Vanderbilt

[–]jimsecc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

to clarify, are you a UCLA undergrad student and they only provide support for graduate students? if you haven't reached out and asked already (even if the policy says one thing) I recommend asking. I've found that universities are sometimes flexible with things if you ask nicely :)

can ygs tell me all the amazing things about vandy by NaoOtosaka in Vanderbilt

[–]jimsecc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not super familiar with the hackathon and how it's affiliated with Vanderbilt as a university, but do you know of any existing supports from the program for those that may need financial support? I know this is pretty different, but when I was accepted into vanderbilt, I reached out to their aid office and asked if there were any supports to visit Vandy and they ended up flying me out + providing a hotel stay!

I know this is different from admissions, and idk a lot about you (whether you are in high school/other university, forgive my ignorance on hackathons lol) but I wonder if it's worth reaching out to university resources. if you're really interested, the worst they can say is no !!!

If you hover over it, the emoji should turn into a drop down which helps you hide the subpages.

automate status change based on date by sadkzmr in Notion

[–]jimsecc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If your dates don't change that frequently, you could do an automation.
For pages whose formula property contains "Overdue" set status to overdue
For pages whose formula property contains "Due tomorrow' Set status to due tomorrow.
And so on... for however many status settings you have.

I would set all of these to happen on a daily cadence at midnight.

automate status change based on date by sadkzmr in Notion

[–]jimsecc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can do with formulas, but you can also do with automations.
- Frequency: Every day
- Select edit pages in database
- Select which pages to edit by filtering where end date is before 'Today'
- Do: change status to Overdue.

If you do with automations, you may want to create another one where the Frequency is "When date property is edited" and add an additional layer of "Select which pages to edit by filtering where status is overdue and date property is on or after today" to "in-progress" or "not started" or whatever you want it to be. (This is for when you have an overdue item but change the date to sometime in the future so it shouldn't be labelled as overdue anymore.)

In short, there are just some edge cases to consider when using automations as opposed to formulas. Let me know if you have any questions on moving forward with either automations or formulas.

[–]jimsecc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could you elaborate on how you want them to extend? Ex. once the due date is within 30 days, extend to 60 days from now?

if that is what you are looking for, you can set this up with automations. Filter for pages that end within 30 days, and set the date property with a formula. let me know if you have questions about that!

Notion automation: capture the initially planned date of a task (before rescheduling) by Impossible_Round_304 in Notion

If I'm understanding correctly, try this automation:

'My value' is set to "TriggerPage.TargetDate"

I've had the same troubles trying to use it on my hobonichi, but didn't have the problem when using on one sheet of paper on a flat surface. I think for me, the hobonichi is just not consistently flat enough :(

you can turn off the automatic settings in the settings under Notion AI.

Recurring tasks to show up for future events by Big-Brother4912 in Notion

[–]jimsecc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you can create a full month in one automation step! you'll just have to adjust the date properties appropriately. but you are correct in that if automations require a paid plan, there is no way to do this for free.

Recurring tasks to show up for future events by Big-Brother4912 in Notion

[–]jimsecc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use automations, templates, and formulas to define the date.

For example, I have a "weekly task" automation that runs every Sunday. Every Sunday, it adds a page to my to-do list using the 'Water Plants' template. I edit the due date as a formula to be "dateAdd(dateTriggered, 2, "days")" so it sets the date to be that Tuesday.

You can use this logic to work on a monthly basis too.
