# How to Integrate Data Lists into Models

In this documentation article, learn how to integrate data lists into models using the new Data List action in Quality Modeller.

To get started with this tutorial, you first need to have a ready **Data List** and an existing or new model in which you would like to integrate Data Lists into.

To learn more about Data Lists, check out these documentation articles: [**How to use Data Lists**](/docs/how-to-use-data-lists) [**Import and Create Data Lists from Excel**](/docs/import-and-create-data-lists-from-excel) [**Import Data List from CSV & JSON**](/docs/import-data-list-from-csv-json)

Once you’re ready with your **Data List** and **model,** open your model, on the left-hand side of the model view you’ll now find a **new Actions Tab** called **Test Data Actions,** which contains the new **Data List action.**

Drag and drop the new **Data List action** onto your model, this will open the List Properties window.

In the **List Properties window,** select the list you want to use, you can also edit the mapping, row filter and in and out columns.

You can customise your use of **Data Lists** and specify exactly what data and how it will be used.

In our tutorial video, we used the **Data List integration** to create a model which, when automation is run, will pull and output data from a credit history data list where the individual's credit score is “Good” or “Ok”.

The data list filtering capability has been enhanced to support both `ORDER BY` and `DISTINCT` operations, providing greater control over how results are returned and presented.

- **Order By** lets you sort your data, by name for example, in ascending or descending order.
- **Distinct** removes duplicate entries, so you only see unique results.
