If you're working with a team in Notion, there are many ways to empower your teammates to make the best use of this tool. As a Notion consultant, one of the things I frequently do is create project/task management solutions for entire companies. This almost always includes a Tasks & Projects master database, and I like to create custom personal dashboards for each employee.

However, when you have 25+ employees, creating individual dashboards can be time-consuming. To save time, you can create a template that can be reused for every new employee.

Rather than using the "person" property, you can create a database of your company's employees and link it to your Tasks, Projects, and any other relevant databases. Once everything is connected, build a template in your "Employees" database and add linked views to Tasks and Projects. Then, use self-referential filtering to retrieve all the tasks and projects that belong to each employee.

This creates personal dashboards for each employee, and when you have a new employee, you can create their personal dashboard in a blink ⚡

Pro tip: you can star (⭐) your own personal dashboard page so that it appears at the very top of your sidebar ⬆️
