Hi Frank,
Thank you for your interest in wpdatatables.

Gravity Forms integration for wpDataTables is an add-on that builds a bridge between the wpDataTables plugin which renders awesome interactive responsive tables and charts and Gravity Forms advanced form builder. The form entries will be rendered as rows, form fields will be treated as columns.

When you activate it, you will have one more data source in the wpDataTables’ table creation wizard – Gravity Form.

See the documentation and tutorial on using the addon on this link.

You have first to make a table from that form. Please note that only forms that do have 1 or more entries can be rendered in a table. After that when you insert shortcode of the form and table on the page it will be shown both on page. When you submit the data in form it will be available in table that you insert below.

Best regards.

Hi grungyape,

Unfortunately not, because like I explain our plugin or add-on don't have forms like built in features. What can be interesting for you is our another add-on Powerful filters. You can hide table before search and when users fill necessary data in filters and press search it will be shown table with filtered data. You can take a look in our documentation about Powerful filters.

Please note these limitations on Gravity based tables with wpDataTables.

• Gravity Forms integration addon is working with a wpDataTables plugin and a core Gravity Forms plugin. However, integration with other Gravity Forms addons isn’t confirmed, so we cannot guarantee that it will work.
• Unavailable options – Because we are using Gravity own forms for editing functionalities, some features are unavailable in both table and column settings. These options are grayed out and disabled.
• Searching, filtering and sorting with Server-side processing – After turning on server-side processing filtering, sorting and searching may start to behave unexpectedly. We plan to work with Gravity team to improve it in future versions.
• Editing existing entry for multi-page form – Editing will work but it will be rendered as a single page form, the same way as it is on the Gravity forms edit page.
• no Duplicate option not working for editing existing entries – Gravity form doesn’t validate this option on editing existing entries.
• Configuring table relations (foreign key) – This option is not available for Gravity based tables
• Choosing editor input type – This falls under the first limitation. Because we are rendering Gravity form in edit popup modal it is not possible to choose editor input type
