Hi Josh, great work man! I watched all your vids, I was wondering why in this one you don't have the OS's anymore? Thanks!

[@HomesickMac]

Great explanation Josh! Thank you for the video! Hm.. finishing line...I'm doing guitar playing content so I often finish my livestreams with "keep it simple but make it groovie"... Maybe you could play with the finishing sentence around "perspectives" somehow?

[@JoshRedd]

Im Josh Redd and this was my Perspective... Will work on it! lol

[@HomesickMac]

@@JoshRedd Man, that's great, use it 🙂

[@notion4teachers]

Great video! Very well explained. Learned a lot from this actually - Keep up the great content!

[@JoshRedd]

Ah good to hear! Feel like we're on the same journey together, same to you!

[@notion4teachers]

@@JoshRedd Yeah definitely 🙌

Love the video and great to see how your structure an organization. I was wondering one thing: If you add for example files or people to one team, how can you see these same files/people in the upper level of the organization? For the sign-off (trying to get creative): 1 - Notion the flow 2 - Keep Moving 3 - Move with Notion & State it right! 4 - Keep building, keep growing I stop here 😄

[@JoshRedd]

At the company level, you don't need to filter by any team, although you can still manually choose any and every team (or use a rollup). More likely, at the company level, youll want to filter by something like "key documents" instead of teams.

Fantastic job on your videos!

[@JoshRedd]

Thank you! Much appreciated!

Josh-your stuff is fantastic, and I have really learned a ton with your new regimen of videos this year! I've been trying to "build Perspectively" (maybe another signoff?), myself, but keep second guessing myself with the "keeping it simpler" part. I have 3 businesses that kind of live in one business: a webdev company, a TTRPG content creation machine, and an org that captions live theater. There are a *few* overlaps, especially maybe in the Resources, or a Task or two here and there, but generally I would be the only one that would really want to see the Project Manager view. Am I trying to fit square pegs into round holes? Have you worked in a situation where the Umbrella Company has 3 (or more) very distinct Outputs/Products/Clients/etc. and it made sense to separate Project and Task and other databases?

[@JoshRedd]

As much as Im all about global databases (one database), just make sure it's actually useful and doesn't create more problems than it solves. Global databases solve one main thing which is to aggregate similar items to a higher level. So if you absolutely need to see tasks across all 3 in one spot, then its necessary. Actually I'd go further and say its only necessary if you need to filter/sort on an aggregated view. You can pull in multiple separate databases onto the same page and see everything together. But where you really NEED them to live in the same database is when you need to filter/sort.

06:15 why do you put the “Research” sync block inside the research project app?

[@JoshRedd]

Just so you have navigation still. But at 14:48 - I talk about the option of building a more robust app just for Research.

[@sdsavvy1]

Do you have any suggestions on how to use new Perspectives for splitting out my business, home and personal information

[@JoshRedd]

You could potentially just make 3 "apps" for each of those buckets. Or you can do 1 "app" and make perspectives specifically for each. You could also split those just on the database tab level. Whatevers intuitive to you
