Hi @manuelsanchez,

In order to be able to update or delete the record from a collection on some screen, you need to make a data available on this screen.
Usually it is done by using lists, but there are some other ways (for example, the record you’ve just created could be available on the next screen).

I would advise to watch the video about working with data here: https://help.adalo.com/videos/working-with-data

Also, the whole help portal (https://help.adalo.com) is quite useful and have videos and text tutorials there.

Best regards, Victor.

Hi @manuelsanchez,

Would you like to delete a collection or a record from a collection?

You can’t delete the whole collection (in other words, a Database Table) from within the app. You can do that only from the app builder.

If you would like to work with the records in the collection, then you need to set the data access in your app accordingly. I would highly recommend to watch some tutorials on that.

Best regards, Victor.

Hi Victor,
can I make an action to delete all records in a collection?

Hey @Abuhoza,

As of now - not from inside Adalo app, unfortunately.
You can delete all records from the App builder, or you need to use 3rd party tools (like Make) to write a scenario to delete records. In Make it will be 2 modules: Adalo List records and Adalo Delete record. And a possible starting webhook to call the scenario.

Best,
Victor.
