title: _model
---
summary: The model the record uses for its fields.
---
type: sysfield
---
body:

This field selects the model that should be used for non-system fields.  In
many situations the model is picked automatically but for equally many
situations it needs to be selected manually.

This field is most useful for filtering when operating on mixed collections.

## Example

```html+jinja
<ul class="projects">
{% for child in this.children.filter(F._model == 'project') %}
  <li>{{ child.name }}</li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>
```
