**`Data Status`** is a [regular block](/app-editor/page-flow/block-anatomy.md#regular-block) that tracks the status of [read](/app-editor/page-flow/toolbox-blocks/data-read.md), [lookup](/app-editor/page-flow/toolbox-blocks/data-lookup.md), [add](/app-editor/page-flow/toolbox-blocks/data-add-record.md), [update](/app-editor/cloud-flow/toolbox-blocks/data-update-records.md) and [delete](/app-editor/cloud-flow/toolbox-blocks/data-delete-records.md) operations for a [database table](/app-editor/data/database-tables.md).

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

* *Operation:* [Dropdown configuration setting](/app-editor/page-flow/block-anatomy.md#dropdown) to select the specific database operation you want to track the status of.  The dropdown options are:
  1. *Read* - Tracks the completion of database read operations by [Data Read](/app-editor/page-flow/toolbox-blocks/data-read.md), [Data Read Next](/app-editor/page-flow/toolbox-blocks/data-read-next.md) and [Data Read Previous](/app-editor/page-flow/toolbox-blocks/data-read-previous.md) blocks.
  2. *Add* - Tracks the completion of database add operation by the [Data Add Record](/app-editor/page-flow/toolbox-blocks/data-add-record.md) block.
  3. *Update* - Tracks the completion of database add operation by [Data Update Record with ID](/app-editor/page-flow/toolbox-blocks/data-update-record-with-id.md) and [Data Update Records](/app-editor/cloud-flow/toolbox-blocks/data-update-records.md) blocks.
  4. *Delete* - Tracks the completion of the database delete option by [Data Delete Record with ID](/app-editor/page-flow/toolbox-blocks/data-delete-record-with-id.md) and [Data Delete Records](/app-editor/cloud-flow/toolbox-blocks/data-delete-records.md) blocks.
  5. *Lookup* - Tracks the completion of the database lookup operation using the [Data Lookup](/app-editor/page-flow/toolbox-blocks/data-lookup.md) block.
* *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.
* *Success Tasks*: a [Flow Parameter](/app-editor/page-flow/block-anatomy.md#flow-parameters) where you connect blocks that specify what you want done when the operation completes successfully.
* *Failure Tasks*: a [Flow Parameter](/app-editor/page-flow/block-anatomy.md#flow-parameters) where you connect blocks that specify what you want done when the operation has an error.
