Hi, I created a collect function and it runs fine but the collection is not visible in my Data tab.
I have tried creating a new app,changing environment, and tried refreshing the data tab but I still am not able to see my Collection .

Greetings KB-08080850-0!

This is weird indeed . . . Can you show the collection formula you are using to create you collection? Additionally, have you tried using ClearCollect() instead of Collec(). Shouldn't change the result if it's a big problem, but it might help out. Anyways. If you can share the formula, it might shed some light about what is happening. Also, make sure to use the button (Using Alt + Left lick to trigger it in the edit mode).

Hopefully this helps you out enough to solve your poblem, if that's the case, feel free to mark this reply as an answer, otherwise feel free as well to reply for futher help!

Hi there KB-08080850-0!

Yeah SebS pretty much solves your problem, I did not notice that you were in the Data Tab instead of the Variables tab . . . Hahahaha, I should put more attention to the input given in the question. Somehow I assumed you were in the right tab from the getgo!

Hi there KB-08080850-0!

You might've not noticed but the table seems to be created, as when you select your collection name, it displays down there the collection you have created!

As SebS told you, you were in the wrong tab, as it's not in the Data tab but in the Variables tab (Within the collections submenu). If you were to put colMydata in a gallery, you would see the rows popping up (At the very least if I did not miss any other things within the replies).
