The tables I am looking to create have numerous columns and I noticed while messing around with the sandbox (http://sandbox.wpdatatables.com/what/) that the text gets cutoff with elipses via css. I know I can manage the column width manually or add my own custom css to each column but that could be time consuming and labor intensive. Is there a global setting so that all text is shown without it being cutoff?
Yes you can do it with settings columns width for each column and also with CSS like you said. Unfortunately there is no global settings for something like this, but you can also use option Scrollable.
Scrollable – This defines whether to add a scrollbar in the container; this is useful for large multi-column tables. It also disables the “Limit table width” switch.
You can also use Responsive feature on Desktop views by hiding some columns.
You may want to pass this on to other people with the same request but we were able to get it to work by adding in some custom css and got it to do what we needed. It doesn't eliminate the scroll of the table within the scroll of the page, but it suits our purposes. Thanks Milan - really digging this product...

I would Milan except that YOUR TICKET SYSTEM IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY and I can not start a new ticket. I try to submit a new ticket > I choose the product the ticket it is for > and it has me verify with my Envato login which it goes through the process and kicks me back to the main ticket screen where I have to verify all over again and can not submit the ticket! I don't know where to find my purchase code due to poor documentation as a second means of verification so I am left with having to seek answers here. Please help - either start a new ticket on my behalf (as I can not create a new ticket now) or address the issue with the ticket submission verification....thank you
