**`Data Lookup with ID`** is a [regular block](https://docs.zingy.ai/app-editor/block-anatomy#regular-block) that triggers the search for a [record](https://docs.zingy.ai/data/database-tables#table-records) from a [database table](https://docs.zingy.ai/app-editor/data/database-tables). The search operation is carried out using the [automatically created ID field](https://docs.zingy.ai/data/database-tables#id-field) that is part of every database table.

The block consists of the following (from top to bottom):

* *Table:* [Value Parameter](https://docs.zingy.ai/app-editor/block-anatomy#value-parameters) that accepts a [*text*](https://docs.zingy.ai/app-editor/page-flow/references/value-types) value representing the name of the [Database Table](https://docs.zingy.ai/app-editor/data/database-tables) .
* *Dataset Name:* [Value Parameter](https://docs.zingy.ai/app-editor/block-anatomy#value-parameters) that accepts a [*text*](https://docs.zingy.ai/app-editor/page-flow/references/value-types) value representing the name of the dataset. This can be any text value and can later be used to track the completion of the read.
* *Record ID*: [Value Parameter](https://docs.zingy.ai/app-editor/block-anatomy#value-parameters) that accepts a [*text*](https://docs.zingy.ai/app-editor/page-flow/references/value-types) value representing the record identifier.

{% hint style="success" %}
To access the record after a successful search, use the [Data Record Info](https://docs.zingy.ai/app-editor/page-flow/toolbox-blocks/data-record-info) block.
