In the example Jestor showed, you can view up to three levels of connected records right from the card — an item connected to a PO, which is in turn connected to a customer — with no fixed technical limit publicly stated for the number of levels.

### Why seeing several levels at once helps

Before, checking a piece of information from a record's "grandparent" meant opening each connected record one by one. That took time and often led teams to duplicate fields just to bring that data one level closer.

### What this feature enables

- Viewing parent and "grandparent" record data right on the current card
- Displaying information from multiple connection levels without leaving the screen
- Customizing color, displayed fields, and whether the record can be opened or edited
- Eliminating formulas or lookups created just to replicate data from another table

### How to set up multi-level connected records

1. Edit the form and access the connected field you want
2. Choose to display it as a card (read-only) or as a superform (editable)
3. If the connected record also has a connected record of its own, repeat the setup inside it
4. Adjust colors and displayed fields at each level

### Process automation with fewer duplicated fields

By removing the need for lookups just to replicate information, this feature simplifies the data structure and makes **process automation** easier within Jestor, since fewer redundant fields mean fewer points to maintain.

### Table Summary

| Level         | Example from the video    | What's shown                 |
| ------------- | ------------------------- | ---------------------------- |
| **1st level** | PO item                   | The item's own data          |
| **2nd level** | PO (parent record)        | Total value, PO data         |
| **3rd level** | Customer linked to the PO | Tax ID, phone, customer data |

## Frequently Asked Questions

**Is there a maximum number of levels for connected records?** The example shown uses three levels; there's no publicly stated technical ceiling.

**Do I need to build formulas to bring in data from a distant level?** No, just set up the connected field to display the information directly.

**Can I edit the record at a deeper level?** Yes, using the superform display, available on [jestor.com](https://jestor.com/?ref=blog.jestor.com).
