I am trying to write a smart-view, but “records” only seems to contain `id` for every table. I can’t seem to find documentation on how to fetch the other columns out of my collections:

Hello Gavin,

You need to prefix your properties with `forest-` to access it

Here is the related documentation :

- [Smart view - Accessing a specific record](https://docs.forestadmin.com/documentation/reference-guide/smart-views#accessing-a-specific-record)

Best regards,
