I jus realized there is no way to tell if a table is connected with some charts. Is it? How do I now if I can delete one of the seemingly obsolete tables? What is more, when I delete a table, the charts connected with it also get deleted! Without any information to the user. My 2 suggestions:
1. When user clicks DELETE on a table system checks if it is connected with at least one of the charts. If yes, user gets information about it with a question if he wants to continue.
2. On wpDataCharts display, add a column with the name of the table connected to each chart.
You're correct - the only way to know which table was used for a specific chart would be to click on "Configure"; hit Next and under "Data Source" see what's the table that has been used to generate the chart.
Also, if a table is deleted, the chart that has been generated from that table also disappears, as it doesn't have a data source anymore and cannot be created.
Thank you for those two very good suggestions. I'll forward this to our development team in order to get these features implemented in one of our future updates.
