In this tutorial, I will show you how to connect a collection dataset to Wix Elements on your website. I will take you step-by-step through the process of linking text, image, and video elements to the dataset, and demonstrate how to use sorting and filtering features to organize and display your data. Additionally, I will cover how to customize the fields of the collection from the dataset, allowing you to tailor the data displayed on your website.

very helpful! good work!

[@BenRichardson49]

Thank you for creating and sharing this, and complements to the pacing, delivery and clarity. I am a recent new owner of a Wix site which I engaged help to build, and adding to an existing dataset is one of my first DIY targets. Thanks to learning from this video and your others, I think I will be able to do it.

It would be helpful if you could make a video on how to integrate an Amazon Web Services MySQL database with the WIX website to retrieve data generated by a form.

Great video! Simple and easy to follow! Does this work with a video gallery? I am trying to find the best way to do this and ultimately create a search function for my video library.

Great Video! Thank you! Is there a way to display user specific data? Show data of a user who is logged in?

[@thewixwiz]

Thanks for watching! Yes - if the user created that data then you should be able to filter the dataset by owner is logged in user. Of course you can also use Velo to get the current member and set up custom queries etc.

Thank you for your answer!!

That was a great video! Helps to see what and why the datasets are used. Can you do a video on connecting dynamic pages to the menu? I am doing my first site and this is where I am floundering. I have renamed and changed names and the menu items won't give me what I need. I also get this 'More' in the menu bar. What is that???!!
