Add data tab missing

Posted on by BrianS 2,407 Super User 2024 Season 1

Is anyone else seeing this problem? I have several apps that when I try to edit them I do not get an "Add Data" tab on screen left.

Notice in the right screen grab the tab is missing, but not on the left. It is only some apps, but starting a new Edit session does not solve the problem. I tried both Chrome and Edge, they both show the same issue.

    Hi Brian,

     

    I have seen this behavior recently with one of the user screenshots. Then I asked them to go to the View menu and click "Data Sources".

     

    I tried with a few Features on the settings to Turned ON/OFF but no difference.


    Thanks,

    Hi @BrianS :

    Turn on 'improve data source experience and Microsoft Dataverse views' and you will get the 'Data source tab'
