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!

Okay

    This is more a usability issue than a 'bug' per-se. I would recommend you include the below CSS enhancement in a future release.

    Issue description:

    In the new version, the select filter dropdown lists have very little indication that they are select boxes. The old version had the box/outline around the field, and also had placeholder text. The new just has an unobtrusive light grey carat on the right.

    The "unobtrusive" appearance is awesome for regular users, but we have periodic users which could use more obvious visual cues.

    My table configuration includes both: "Enable advanced column Filters" and "Show filters in a form above the table".

    I have included the text placeholder "[any]" via the following CSS in my theme overrides:

    /* put some text in the null filter select-box option */
    a.search_init::after,
    .wpdt-c .bootstrap-select > button.bs-placeholder .filter-option::after {
        content: "[Any]";
        color: lightgray;
    }

    Thanks!
    Corky.

    P.S. - I have a couple other issues I'll submit separately for simpler tracking.
