# Load Generic Table

Reads matching rows from one **Generic Table** through the table service, preserving permissions and row value types.

## Inputs

Set `GenericTable`, `ResultLimit`, `Filters`, `SelectedColumns`, `Sorting` in the task details. Use the value editor to select compatible results from earlier tasks.

## Outputs

Use `Rows`, `RowCount`, `Found`, `TotalRowCount` in subsequent tasks.

??? example "Load Generic Table"

    Select the table and an explicit `ResultLimit`, then consume its returned `Rows`. Connect native filter, column, or sorting collections from compatible earlier outputs when needed.

## Behavior

Set `ResultLimit` explicitly. Optional filter, column, and sorting inputs accept compatible collections from earlier tasks.
