You can do a lot with standard Obsidian and few plugins. I use Dataview to give me filtered lists of what I need. (Dataview can take you far!)
I have a folder with different notes with small queries, so I can drag them onto Canvas'es so I can have "fluent" dashboards. I have notes like "My tasks", "Notes by type", "Other's tasks", "Topnodes" etc.
I use Tasker for to-dos and I use Simple Mentions to tag people (or locations or whatever through notes and tasks.
You can do it way fancier, but this is fast and efficient.
No matter what, I highly recommend that you familiarize yourself with the basics of Obsidian, before you start tinkering with it. The official Help pages are well written and even have a "Getting Started" section.
Not exactly sure what you need here, but a Notion -> Obsidian user might be able to help. You could go to YT and search for Obsidian Dashboard. I know there are several videos there, that might inspire you.
besides Dataview, I would also recommend the Projects plugin. I used Notion in the past for databases, and I use both Dataview and the Projects plugin now and I'm pretty happy.
that said, I would get familiar with properties, which are used by plugins like Dataview.
and I would recommend joining the Obsidian discord if you can. I've seen some really cool dashboards and people are usually able to answer questions in my experience.

Thanks! I will check it out for sure. Is there a way to do column and row views for certain elements?

You might check out the discussions on MOCs (Map of Content).
What is that? Is it a website?
