# Linking your data

Link your tables together using linked fields

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.
