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!
Hi,
in column settings, I cannot predefine a filter using placeholders like %VAR1% if I select "number" or "number range" as filter type.
It'd be good to allow this so we can set predefined filters using shortcode.
Thank you
Johannes
Hi Johannes,
Thank you for your purchase.
Sorry for late response.
We are located in Serbia and our working time is from 10:00 to 17:00 CET. business days.
Actually you can use %VAR1% in predefined filters, but you have to change "Filter type" to string. My suggestion is to look up video tutorial about placeholders in our documentation on this link.
For number range that is not possible like that, but you can achieve this throw mysql query. For example
SELECT * FROM table_name
WHERE table_name.number > %VAR1%
AND table_name.number < %VAR2%
Kind Regards,
Isidora Markovic

Hi Milan,
thanks for the help.
I'd like to have a predefined filter but not limit the query to certain values, so your suggestion won't work. I'm talking about a table column with year values, so string filtering isn't really doing the job (you cannot select a range).
If you could implement this feature sometime in a future release, I'm sure your customers would be thankful.
Kind regards
Hi Johannes,
Yes, for now it is possible only throw sql query.
Thank you for your suggestion. I will forward this to my team to think about this like new feature in future.
Kind Regards,
Isidora Markovic
