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,

    How would I go about saving the filter form selections to a variable to be used elsewhere on the site?  Is there a hook I can use? Or maybe catch the value using php like you can with other inputs?

    Also, how do we filter two tables with the same filter form?  I see the charts will change/filter based on what the table form has selected, but I can't find the option for when there are multiple tables on one page.

    Thanks for any help!

    Hello Christian.

    You can take a look at the video in our documentation, around 3:00 minute mark. You'll see how you can define placeholders and use them in a filter. You can also define them in the shortcode when you're placing the table on a page, like this:

    [wpdatatable id=12 var1=150 var2=350]

    Another option of filtering the table without actually setting the filter to be %VAR#% is to place it in a URL, as a predefined filter when you're loading the page. More info about that can be found here.

    If there's something else you wanted to ask, and I missed the point, please explain the use case of the filters in placeholders.

    Unfortunately, filtering multiple tables with a same filtering form is not possible at the moment. Every table has its own filters, so they appear either inside the table (below the header, or in the footer), or in a form above the table.

    Each chart is being created from a single table, so when you filter that table, the chart will respond with corresponding values.

    Best regards.

    Kind Regards,
