{% endhint %}

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

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

* *Table:* [Value Parameter](/app-editor/page-flow/block-anatomy.md#value-parameters) that accepts a [*text*](/app-editor/page-flow/references/value-types.md) value representing the name of the [Database Table](/app-editor/data/database-tables.md) .
* *Dataset Name:* [Value Parameter](/app-editor/page-flow/block-anatomy.md#value-parameters) that accepts a [*text*](/app-editor/page-flow/references/value-types.md) 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](/app-editor/page-flow/block-anatomy.md#value-parameters) that accepts a [*text*](/app-editor/page-flow/references/value-types.md) value representing the record identifier.

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