# Browse records

Open **Desk** and select an entity such as Products. The sidebar groups and entity labels are configured by your application.



## Use the list

1. Confirm the project and current scope.
2. Use **View** to choose visible columns where available.
3. Use a supported column's sorting control to change ordering. Not every column has the same sorting actions.
4. Open a row with its edit action to inspect the record.
5. Use **Reload** when you need to refresh the list after external changes.

Row and cell menus can expose actions such as Edit, Additional actions, and Copy value. Copying a displayed value is different from exporting an entire record or dataset.

## Selection

Selection enables actions on multiple records. Inspect the selected count and confirmation before a bulk action. Do not assume selecting visible rows means selecting every matching record in the project.

## Find missing data

Check the selected entity, current scope, access spaces, and whether the data was saved to this project. Global search only considers configured searchable data; a missing search result does not prove the record is absent. A hidden column affects the list display, not the stored attribute.
