# 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;

### Link to another record&#x20;

This allows you to link only one record to each other, this is used most often when connecting your users table or Key Contacts to Companies.&#x20;

1. Add a new field&#x20;
2. Choose a name and icon
3. Select **Link to another record**
4. Choose the table you want to link to

### Link to multiple records

This allows you to link many records to each other, for example, a recipe calls for multiple types of ingredients but other recipes can have the same ingredients as well.&#x20;

1. Add a new field&#x20;
2. Choose a name and icon
3. Select **Link to multiple records**
4. Choose the table you want to link to
