This section introduces how to query a document.
Prerequisites
You must have access permissions to DMS and be logged on to the DMS console.
Procedure
Select an ApsaraDB for MongoDB instance and then click Log on to Database.
After you log on to the instance, select Query Window in the top navigation bar to open the query window.

The query result is displayed on the execution result tab page at the bottom of the query window. If you run multiple query commands, all query results are displayed on the execution result tab page in the command execution order.
