One of the key features of Notion databases is the ability to show different properties on cards, which allows users to quickly and easily see the most important information about their data.

In this article, we will show you how to show properties on cards in Notion, including how to select and customize the properties you want to display, and how to arrange and format them to suit your needs.

How To Show Notion Properties On Cards

1. Navigate to the database view you want to edit.
2. Select the name of the view you want to edit, then hit "Edit view".
3. Find the "Properties" option in the sidebar menu that pops up.
4. Select the properties you want to show by checking and unchecking the "show" icon.
5. You can also re-order and arrange how your properties show in your view in this side menu.
6. When done, just click out and "Save for everyone".

Step 1: Navigate to Your Desired Database View

To begin, navigate to the database view you want to edit. This could be a table view, a gallery view, or any other type of view that you have created for your database.

Step 2: Select the Name of the View You Want to Edit

Once you have navigated to your desired database view, select the name of the view you want to edit, then hit "Edit view". This will open a sidebar menu on the right-hand side of the screen, which will allow you to customize the properties and formatting of your view.

Step 3: Find the "Properties" Option in the Sidebar Menu

In the sidebar menu that pops up, find the "Properties" option. This option will allow you to select the properties you want to show on your cards, as well as customize the way they are displayed.

Step 4: Select the Properties You Want to Show

Once you have found the "Properties" option, select the properties you want to show on your cards by checking and unchecking the "show" icon next to each property. This will allow you to choose which properties you want to display on your cards, and which ones you want to hide.

Step 5: Re-Order and Arrange Your Properties

In the "Properties" menu, you can also re-order and arrange how your properties show in your view. This allows you to customize the layout of your cards and ensure that the most important information is displayed prominently.

To re-order your properties, simply drag and drop them into the desired order. To arrange your properties, use the options in the "Arrange" menu to adjust the alignment, spacing, and other formatting options for your properties.

Step 6: Save Your Changes

Once you're done editing the properties you'd like shown, you can hit 'Save For Everyone' to keep your changes.

Showing The Name Of The Property From Notion Databases

Unfortunately, Notion doesn't let you show the name of the property (e.g. 'Due Date') on cards. Instead, it will only show the value of that property for a given database object. Currently, Tables are the only view that let you see the name and icon set for a property in your database, alongside the value.
