Hello, I have a web-page from which I need to spy our a certain data/content which is displayed in tabular format. So basically the displayed list of records need to be read and stored in a collection for further processing. How could this be done?

What you can do is spy a single cell in the table - and define the element type as 'HTML table' in Application Modeller. You will then be able to make a read stage with the action: 'Read table', which sends the whole table to a collection. Alternatively, if you need a specific value from the table, you could spy a single cell and set the path to be dynamic - and then iterate through the cells to find the desired value. I hope that helps.:)
