# View your data in a list

Omnata Connect will automatically create a Tab which allows you to view your data.

This tab is **not** a standard Salesforce object tab, it's a Lightning Component tab which closely resembles one.

Where a Salesforce object tab renders on-platform data, this Lightning Component tab uses the fields and list view definitions of an empty custom object, and renders a list view using live-queried external data.

You can navigate to this tab from the Setup UI:

![](/files/jKRU4O6fGQi9B9PzSpaR)

Or directly from the App Launcher:

![](/files/4Sx9fBCMKs5ek0p5yord)

![](/files/sCYlBQIOXpgMQVUEDHfR)

The list can be sorted and searched the same way as a normal list.

Multiple list views can be configured, and filters specified. This must be performed by an admin, by visiting the regular tab for the custom object:

![](/files/EGRTKT7IYaQcrGrSXUBB)

When doing this, you can change fields and also add filters, but no data will be visible as it's not stored on the Salesforce platform.

![](/files/uFXeXQCwp0ALrSRxxz4U)

After making a List View change, refresh the Lightning Component tab for the object and the changes will be visible.

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

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.omnata.com/omnata-product-documentation/omnata-connect-for-salesforce/omnata-with-salesforce-lightning-components/view-your-data-in-a-list.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

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.
