# Full records vs. shallow records

Unless you are on Affinity's Enterprise plan, Affinity has significant API limitations which limits our ability to sync all records. To work around this, Whalesync groups your records into two categories:

* Records you care about (full records)
* Records you don't care about (shallow records)

#### Affinity API limits

Affinity has the following API quota limits on its plans:

* Starter = none
* Premium = 100,000 calls/mo
* Enterprise = unlimited

**Difference between full records and shallow records**

Full records include every field you want to sync:

Shallow records only include the display name and email address (if applicable):

![](/files/x0FpZQiyQ5kQCQKUm8Ju)

#### How to sync full records

By default, Whalesync will sync records as shallow records. If you want to fully sync a group of records you must:

1. Add them to at least one list
2. Select to fully sync that list on the table mapping screen
