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,

    I linked a table with google spreadsheet, and I can get the data, except that it's read-only, I want to have a method to edit this data: for example, make a request to copy them to another base created manually, or other.

    Thanks in advance

    Hi bzmohammed,
    Thank you for your purchase.

    Sorry for late response. 

    Please note that on Monday, November 12th was non-working day due to the National holiday. Because of this, there will be likely a delay in reply to your tickets, possibly until Tuesday the 13th of November. We are located in Serbia and our working time is from 10:00 to 17:00 CET. business days

    In many cases, you might have an initial file with the table data, but this table needs to be regularly updated (e.g. if it is a price list, a catalog, etc.). wpDataTables has two options here for you:

    1.  Creating tables linked to existing data source,(first option in table wizard) in which case you will upload the file and initialize the table, whereupon it will be read every time on page load. Then you can overwrite this file to update the data. Such tables won’t be editable within WordPress, and if they are larger than 3000-5000 rows, the page load and generation time will be slow.
    2. Importing table data to WordPress.(third option in table wizard) The initial data will be read and imported from the provided file or a Google Spreadsheet. You can select to skip certain columns, or add columns. You can edit both the structure and the data within the table at an any point later, but the table won’t be synced with the source file as is the case with the first option, but this table will be editable through wpdatatables; e.g., if you change something  in source Google Spreadsheet, your wpDataTable data will stay the same because the data will be already imported to the database.

    Best regards.

    Kind Regards, 

    Isidora Markovic
