When I use the below blocks, thunkable asks for row id. So how can I find and use row id from the local table (data viewer list) for purposes like navigating through screens, opening links etc.?

First of all it’s giving you the row id, not asking you for it. Second of all, in case you didn’t know, row id means the row number.

Can you also put all the text in the title in the topic body, and make the title shorter?

I’ve done this for you but in the future, please make your titles a short summary of the issue.

You can use the green `row id` block inside of a [Data Sources](https://docs.thunkable.com/data-sources) block since those require a row id. As an example, if you click on the 3rd row of the Data Viewer List (DVL), and then do a Get Value from the data source using the `row id` block, you’ll be getting the value from the 3rd row of the data source/table.
