### Settings

| Setting    | Description                                                                          | [Parsed](/actions-and-operations/dynamic-parsing.md) |
| ---------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------- |
| Bot        | The bot that is providing collection access. The current bot is selected by default. | :no\_entry:                                          |
| Collection | The collection to be used for the action                                             | :no\_entry:                                          |

### Remarks

This action does not directly extract any data but instead create a record cursor that can extract a single record on each read using a [Move To Next Record](/actions-and-operations/database/move-to-next-record.md) action. The flow of a complete loop on multiple records may look similar to this:

![](/files/-M_bkbmwJ6tm5luaXS4P)

If no [Field Filter Operation](/actions-and-operations/database/set-field-filter-value.md) is used, this action will open a record cursor for all of the records of the selected collection.

### Trigger

This action automatically triggers all of the [Set Field Filter ](/actions-and-operations/database/set-field-filter-value.md)operations that are attached.

### Variables

This action has no variables.
