We're Moving to a New Support Platform – Starting June 1st!
We’re excited to let you know that starting June 1st, we’ll be transitioning to a new support system that will be available directly on our product websites – Amelia, wpDataTables, and Report Builder. In fact, the new support platform is already live for Amelia and wpDataTables, and we encourage you to reach out to us there.
You'll always be able to reach us through a widget in the bottom right corner of each website, where you can ask questions, report issues, or simply get assistance.
While we still do not offer live support, a new advanced, AI-powered assistant, trained on our documentation, use cases, and real conversations with our team, is there to help with basic to intermediate questions in no time.
We're doing our best to make this transition smooth and hassle-free. After June 1st, this current support website will redirect you to the new "Contact Us" pages on our product sites.
Thanks for your continued support and trust – we’re excited to bring you an even better support experience!
I have a table who has a column of surnames - I know a user can search for a character like, for example, a "G" and get a list of all surnames with a "G" or "g" anywhere in the surname.
Users sometimes just want to examine all surname starting with a particular letter like "G".
Is there a way to just search for the 1st char of the surname? Some kind of wildcard filter or a way to apply SQL on the fly using Like or Left or String variables to limit to the 1st char? Any way to make a filter case sensitive?
I thought one approach might be to create an extra hidden column containing just the 1st char of the Surname Column and use it in a filter form.
Any ideas of how to do this would be appreciated - Thank You!
Hi tcghs,
Thank you for your purchase.
Sorry to disappoint you but unfortunately something like this is not possible with the plugin build in features and it will require some code customization.
We can offer you our paid customization service where you can hire one of our developers to implement this feature for you.
If you are interested let us know.
Best regards.
Kind Regards,
Miloš Jovanović

At least you saved me from continuing to search the documentation trying to find a feature that's not there.
Might be worth thinking of adding some kind of more flexible search criteria (wildcard, etc.) in the future.

Hi Mike,
We have some plans after the stable release of the 2.0 version to release some add ons. One of them is related to some advanced filters.
I will write down your suggestion so I hope that we can add your idea to our add on.
Thank you for sharing some new ideas with us.
Best regards.
Kind Regards,
