# Advanced

Use these options to further refine the data returned from the queries specified in the **Settings** tab. For example, you may want to only query deleted records within a specified date range. The **Advanced** panel includes the following fields.

| Option                | Description                                                                                                                                                               |
| --------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Retrieve**          | Select which records you want to retrieve to further define your pool of data. You can select **All**, **Updated**, or **Deleted**. **All** is the default for retrieval. |
| **Query all records** | Select the check box to query all the records you are retrieving. Clear the check box to use the date fields to define a range of records to query.                       |
| **Start date**        | Specify the starting date for retrieving the records in the date range. The format is `yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss`.                                                              |
| **End date**          | Specify the end date for retrieving the records in the date range. The format is `yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss`.                                                                   |

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.pentaho.com/pdia-data-integration/9.3-data-integration/pdi-transformation-steps-reference-overview/salesforce-input/options-salesforce-input/content-tab/advanced.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
