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!

    Hello again - 

    I need to enforce a biz rule where the value of a string column is unique within the column. Is there a (column) setting for that? I haven't seen one, but it seems like a fairly common need so I would think it's somewhere. Maybe not? 

    What about getting the wpDT row ID to display? That too would be unique. 

    I'm also interest in a hook (action or filter) that fires prior to adding / saving a new row. Again, I could enforce the unique rule here...but there doesn't seem to be a hook that let's me check the data before it's added / updated. 

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Hi mark fs,
    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.

    Unfortunately there is no built in option for something like this. 

    wdt_ID is generated column for wpdatatables which is unique because is set  AUTO INCREMENT in database which plugin use for actions like adding, edit or delete data.

    You can take a look in our documentation about Actions and Filters which are defined in wpDataTables plugin for customization's by developers.

    Best regards.

    Kind Regards, 

    Isidora Markovic
