Using the Chorus Finder Database

The Chorus Finder database is built in Notion, an all-in-one workspace that provides many ways to search, sort and filter the Chorus Finder database so you can find quickly exactly what you’re looking for. On this page, we provide some tips for using the database effectively.

The basics

You can search, filter, and sort the database to find what you need. If you’re familiar with Microsoft Excel, or Google Sheets, many of the icons and features are similar.

At the top of the database, you’ll see a few different lists (or sheets) that are already sorted that you can click on to see the choruses organized in a different way.

If you hover your mouse over the lists/sheets area of the page, you’ll see the filter, sort, and search icons appear on the right hand side of the header bar area.

To open an individual Chorus’s page, hover your mouse over the Chorus name in the list and you’ll see an option to OPEN the page. Click OPEN and a side window with all of that Chorus’s information will appear.

Searching

If you want to search for the name of a chorus, the location, rehearsal days or any other information, there is a handy search bar at the top of the database.

Sorting

If you’d like to sort the list based on one of the fields in the database, click the sort button at the top of the database. Then you’ll be able to select a field by which you’d like to sort the data. You can also sort by multiple fields.

Filtering

If you’d like to filter the list based on one of the fields in the database, click the filter button at the top of the database. Then you can select parameters by which to filter the data.

For example, you could choose to filter the list to just choruses where no audition is required to join.

Database FAQ

  • No. The changes you make are only reflected on your view of the database.

  • You'll need to navigate into each one and delete the sorts and filters you have set up. Sometimes reloading the page may reset things, but not always.
