@Manuel F. Silva We are aware that basic tutorial 1.2 needs to be updated. We are working on getting that up to date. As far as assisting you in completing the tutorial, here are a few steps to get access to the statistics collector.

The first step is to ensure that you have to correct graph on your dashboard, so that when you get the statistics collector, it is the one that you want. The tutorial is not very clear on that. Click on the pin by content, just like the tutorial calls, for then in the dropdown menu that appears follow these steps.

Add to Dashboard -> Content -> Line Chart

This ensures that you get the proper content v.s time chart on the dashboard.

With that chart selected, look at the properties on the right. At the bottom there should be a button that says "install". Click that button.

There will be a pop up window that appears. Click Ok on the window. This window is making sure that you want to make some tools that are happening in the background to be made visible. Like the statistics collector.

Be aware that once you click OK it may take a few seconds for the model to refresh and show you those new tools. So if it doesn't refresh immediately, just be patient. Once it refreshes, the screen will kind of flicker, the statistics collector should appear at the bottom of your toolbox.

There are some other issues with future tutorials that you may run into. We are aware of some of the updates needed, so if you need help with those, or anything else, don't hesitate to post another question, (rather than comment on this post). Thanks!
