# Linking your data

Link your tables and records together with linked fields. Linking records together can allow you to use more advanced features in Stacker, such as [**Ownership filters**](/stacker-astra/security/add-user-permissions/create-or-edit-a-permission-rule/ownership-filter.md)**,** [**Related Record Lists**](broken://pages/LOL7nSVcAoKiHXGytz4z#h_01fzg26n0dndvxhn3g2k6kk7sy)**,** and **Lookups.** 

**Ownership Filter**

Using an ownership filter allows users to only see records related to them, keeping others information private.

**Related Record Lists**

Related record lists can be shown on detail pages of records so related information can be viewed from one place.&#x20;

2. Choose a name and icon
3. Select **Link to another record**

2. Choose a name and icon
3. Select **Link to multiple records**
