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

A table customised for user but only editable by admin at backend

    I want to create a table with four columns (i.e. Date, Type, Detail, Amount of money). Users can only see their own data. This table should only be editable by admin at backend so that I can input the related data for their reference when I have made a payment to these users.

    I followed the documentation on the official website (https://wpdatatables.com/documentation/front-end-editing/allowing-users-to-edit-only-their-own-data/) and set the editor role in the editing tab to "Administrator". However I am not allowed to enter the user ID column into the table and also other fields. If I don't input the user ID by myself, I guess the plugin couldn't let the users only seeing their own data right?


    What should I do in this case? Thanks.

    Hi Wilson,

    • If I don't input the user ID by myself, I guess the plugin couldn't let the users only seeing their own data right?

    Yes that is right. Plugin uses information from column with ID's to compare it with current user ID.

    Only option would be to still add ID column but make it hidden. That way it will work for the frontend users but they will not be able to see it
