# Loading Tables from Boards via Board-ID In addition to loading items from the current board, you can also pull **data** directly from **other boards** by using their **Board ID**. This is especially useful if you want to combine information in tabular format from multiple boards or reference board data that is stored elsewhere. ### Using the Board ID in Table Placeholders All item data in tables is wrapped using these placeholders: ``` {{TableStart:Item}} {{TableEnd:Item}} ``` Now, if you want to load data in tabular format from a different board, you need to **wrap the whole table between those two placeholders**: ``` {{TableStart:Board[123]}} {{TableEnd:Board[123]}} ``` The number inside the brackets—`123` in this example—is the **Board ID** of the board you want to output. #### Where to Find the Board ID You can find the Board ID in multiple places, for example: * In the **URL** of your board
* In the **board details menu**, where the ID is also displayed

### Using Filters and Groups with Board ID Tables Board-ID-based placeholders fully support [the use of filters](https://help.docexport.com/template/board-level-filter) as well as [grouping](https://help.docexport.com/template/advanced-options/group-by).\ This means you can apply the same [filter conditions](https://help.docexport.com/template/advanced-filtering) even when loading tables from another board. To use filters and groups, extend your placeholder like this: ``` {{TableStart:Board[123].Groups(FilterCondition)}} ``` or ``` {{TableStart:Board[123].Items(FilterCondition)}} ``` Make sure to close the table with the matching placeholder: ``` {{TableEnd:Board[123].Groups(FilterCondition)}} ``` or ``` {{TableEnd:Board[123].Items(Condition)}} ``` **This is an example of what the structure (including groups) could look like:**
