# Using the Notion source in the YOOtheme builder

As soon as the token is entered, the Notion source is available in the YOOtheme builder. This page shows how to fill an element with data from a Notion database.

Via *Dynamic Content* you bind an element to the Notion source.</figcaption></figure>## Choosing the source

1. Open the page in the YOOtheme builder and insert an element that can display lists (a *grid*, for example).
2. Enable **Dynamic Content** in its settings.
3. Choose **Notion Database Items** as the source.
4. In the field **Database**, select the Notion database you want from the list.

## Filtering, sorting, limiting

The source comes with several options for narrowing down the entries:

<table class="table" id="bkmrk-filter%3A-property-nam"> <tbody> <tr><td>**Filter: property name**</td><td>Name of the Notion property to filter on (for example *Status*). Empty = no filter.</td></tr> <tr><td>**Filter: value**</td><td>The value being looked for (for example *Published*).</td></tr> <tr><td>**Filter: property type**</td><td>Type of the property: select, status, text, checkbox (true/false) or number. It must match the field in Notion.</td></tr> <tr><td>**Sorting: property name**</td><td>Property to sort by. Empty = no sorting.</td></tr> <tr><td>**Sort direction**</td><td>Ascending or descending.</td></tr> <tr><td>**Number of entries**</td><td>Maximum number of entries. 0 = load all.</td></tr> </tbody></table>

<div class="callout info" id="bkmrk-property-names-are-e">Property names are expected **exactly** as they are spelled in Notion — including capitalisation and spaces. A typo means the filter does not take effect.

</div>## Assigning fields

Inside the dynamic element you assign the Notion fields to the individual parts (title, text, image, link …). Which fields exist and how they are grouped is described in the chapter [Fields and properties](https://docs.graup-it.de/books/notion-source-en/page/fields-and-properties).
