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,
Is there a way to retain the filter selection so when a user returns to the page their filter results revert back to default?
Thanks
Chris
Hello Chris.
If I understood you correctly, by "default" you mean predefined filter values?
If that is true, you can open each column's settings, and add a predefined filter value under "Filtering" tab.
On the other hand, if you wish to save the filters they used last, unfortunately something like this is not possible with the plugin's built in features.
Best regards.
Kind Regards,
Aleksandar Vuković

Hi Aleksandar,
Yes, its the second I'm after. They use the filters to find options, click a button / URL link from the results and then return to the filter to continue looking at other options. The hope was for them to return to their results and not have to input the values back into the filters.
Are there any plugins from third parties or a section of code I can add that might be able to achieve this?
Thanks
Chris
Hi again Chris.
I don't know about any plugins or addons that do that, sorry.
Have you maybe thought of opening that URL in a new tab? That way everything they click on will be opened in another browser tab, and the tab where the table is will remain intact with the filters applied.
You have this option in the Data tab when you go to the URL link column settings:
If your URL column is "string" type, it can also be done by adding "target="_blank"" HTML property.
Best regards.
Kind Regards,
