Hi everyone. I have a question need your help. I have a CMS system using nocodb and using rest api to query data. But I see an issue with my system is when I using filter or short, etc… in the UI of nocodb and back to using postman to query data (query all) . The results will be affected by the filter. I want querying to be separate from filtering on nocodb’s UI. Help me pls??

Which version of NocoDB are you currently using? If you’re on an older version, note that previously we defaulted to the default view if the view ID/name wasn’t specified. If this is the case, consider upgrading to the latest version. Alternatively, if you’re encountering issues with the latest version, please inform me, and I’ll investigate further.

**FYI:** If you prefer reading records using their ID, you can always utilize our read API. This method tends to be faster than using the list function, as it doesn’t involve querying counts. (Ref: [Read API](https://data-apis-v2.nocodb.com/#tag/Table-Records/operation/db-data-table-row-read))

Yes, thank you. I acknowledge that the project I am working on is using v1. When attempting to initiate a new project using v2, the issue was resolved. I appreciate your assistance. Currently, I am in the process of transitioning my project from v1 to v2. Could you please advise me on the key considerations when upgrading from v1 to v2 for nocodb cloud?
