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!
Hi, I would like to make a table that includes a column that provides a URL link called 'Details' for each row, which upon clicking would generate a report with information from two other tables that is related to the primary table (based on the primary/foreign keys).
Hello Marissa.
Thank you for your purchase.
To generate reports, though, you would need to purchase our Report Builder add-on. When you do this, you can create a template for the table which is used to combine the other two tables, and generate a report from it. Then, in main settings of wpDataTables, you would need to enable "Parse shortcodes in strings" slider, so you can add the Report Builder's shortcode in a cell, and when users click on the button, it downloads the report. The column would have to be "string" type, so no need for URL type columns.
Generally speaking - you can create a URL link column and make it look like a button, so users only see "Details" in it, but I don't believe that you would have to use this since you can simply put the Report Builder's shortcode in the cells.
Also, please note:
Please take a look at the Report Builder's documentation (link provided above), and see if it would suit your needs. There are a lot of examples there, so you can see its possibilities.
Best regards.
Kind Regards,
Aleksandar Vuković
