# Records

The Records tab for an Object Type provides a Data Grid that lists all Records of the Object Type. You can also access all records in the Data section of your Contextual dashboard.

Click on an individual record to see the complete data set for a given record. You can filter, adjust columns and export your records from the Records view.

#### Deleting All Records for an Object Type

On the Object Type Records tab in the Contextual Workspace UI, there is a Danger Zone to delete all Records of the Object Type. Once confirmed, all Records of that Object Type will be immediately deleted, an operation which cannot be undone.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.contextual.io/documentation-and-resources/components-and-data/object-types/object-type-details/records.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
