# View and manage records
Displaying all record lists and all details for a record always works the same way in GLPI. Whether it's a list of computers, phones, or tickets, the presentation follows the same principle.
A list of items can be obtained in 2 ways:
* From the search engine
> From the search engine, after determining the criteria and validating the search, a list of records is displayed. By default, no search criteria limit the list of proposed records, and the display is limited to the first `x` records in the list, which is configurable in the preferences.
* From another list
> Some tabs offer a list of related items. For example, from a list of computers, click on the computer name and then navigate to the software tab. The list of software installed on that computer is displayed.
Details for a record are displayed in the form of tabs grouping similar information. For a computer, financial information and the list of software are found in two separate tabs.
## Customize Display
The columns displayed from the complete inventory list can be configured. Click the :wrench: button. It is possible to add, remove, and reorder the displayed columns.
* **Global view**: applies to all profiles with access to a part of the inventory: modifying this part will therefore be visible to all users.
* **Personal view**: applies only to the logged-in user and overrides the global view settings. This view is only available if you have the *User view* right concerning the *Search Results Display*.
> This tab also allows resetting the display customization for different lists. The user can, for each object type, revert to the default display by deleting this customization.

## 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://help.glpi-project.org/documentation/12-en/manage-my-preferences/view-and-manage-records.md?ask=&goal=
```
`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.
