# Data Record Info {% hint style="info" %} **Block Information** Available in: Page Flow and Cloud Flow Toolbox Category: Data Block Type: [Output](/app-editor/page-flow/block-anatomy.md#output-block) Output Type: [*object*](/app-editor/page-flow/references/value-types.md) {% endhint %} **`Data Record Info`** is an [output block](/app-editor/page-flow/block-anatomy.md#output-block) that provides the object representing a [database record](/app-editor/data/database-tables.md#table-records) when used inside specific contexts that are discussed [below](#valid-usage-contexts).

Data Record Info block

The output is of type [*object*](/app-editor/page-flow/references/value-types.md) and is compatible with [Value Parameters](/app-editor/page-flow/block-anatomy.md#value-parameters) of type [*object*](/app-editor/page-flow/references/value-types.md) or of type [*any*](/app-editor/page-flow/references/value-types.md). *** ## Valid Usage Contexts {% hint style="warning" %} NOTE: This block will provide valid values only when used in the contexts discussed below: {% endhint %} * [Data Record Loop](/app-editor/page-flow/toolbox-blocks/data-record-loop.md) block (inside *Tasks* [Flow Parameter](/app-editor/page-flow/block-anatomy.md#flow-parameters)) : In this case the **`Data Record Info`** block provides the [record](/app-editor/data/database-tables.md#table-records) for the current loop iteration. * [Data Status](/app-editor/page-flow/toolbox-blocks/data-status.md) block (inside Success *Tasks* [Flow Parameter](/app-editor/page-flow/block-anatomy.md#flow-parameters)) : Here the **`Data Record Info`** block provides the first [record](/app-editor/data/database-tables.md#table-records) read from successful execution of the [Data Read](/app-editor/page-flow/toolbox-blocks/data-read.md), [Data Read Next Page](/app-editor/page-flow/toolbox-blocks/data-read-next.md) , [Data Read Previous Page](/app-editor/page-flow/toolbox-blocks/data-read-previous.md) and [Data Lookup](/app-editor/page-flow/toolbox-blocks/data-lookup.md) blocks. * [Data Lookup with ID](/app-editor/page-flow/toolbox-blocks/data-lookup-with-id.md) block (inside Success *Tasks* [Flow Parameter](/app-editor/page-flow/block-anatomy.md#flow-parameters)) : Here the **`Data Record Info`** block provides the [record](/app-editor/data/database-tables.md#table-records) that matched the provided [record ID](/app-editor/data/database-tables.md#id-field). *** ## Usage Example {% hint style="info" %} **NOTE: Please refer to the prerequisite information shown** [**here**](/app-editor/page-flow/references/prerequisite-for-data-examples.md) **before seeing the example.** {% endhint %} The image below shows an example of the **`Data Record Info`** block. This example incorporates the *Usage Example* function, as outlined in the [Database Reading Logic for examples section](/app-editor/page-flow/references/prerequisite-for-data-examples.md#database-reading-logic-for-examples) on the prerequisite information page mentioned above.

Example for Data Record Info block

Here is a summary of the above example: * The [Data Record Loop](/app-editor/page-flow/toolbox-blocks/data-record-loop.md) block is used with the *Customers* [Database Table](/app-editor/data/database-tables.md) and the dataset name of *ds1* are as [Value Parameters](/app-editor/page-flow/block-anatomy.md#value-parameters) . * For each iteration inside the *Tasks* [Flow Parameter](/app-editor/page-flow/block-anatomy.md#flow-parameters), we use the [Write Log Message](/app-editor/page-flow/toolbox-blocks/write-log-message.md) block to log the customer's email address by accessing the *EmailAddress* field of each record. * To access information about the record, we use our **`Data Record Info`** block. The result for the above example can be seen in the [browser's web console](https://developer.chrome.com/docs/devtools/console/), and a sample is shown below: ```log [LOG(info) 08/29/2023 14:27:15.025] john.smith@example.com [LOG(info) 08/29/2023 14:27:15.026] jane.smith@example.com [LOG(info) 08/29/2023 14:27:15.026] max.mustermann@example.com [LOG(info) 08/29/2023 14:27:15.027] joe.bloggs@example.com ``` --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
