Greetings, I am looking to create an online database. (I have very little computer science knowledge so I apologize if I misuse the vocabulary)
I want to make a database that allows users to find each other by narrowing down people using filters. There will be a few preset filter categories. But I'm curious if I can have people add to the filters themselves
Also, is there a way that they can add themselves to the database or source. Or whatever they're searching.
I want people with similar characteristics to be able to find each other, be able to filter it down to even more specific filters that they add themselves if they need to and add their own selves and to the database with the necessary category information.
Every table can have advanced filtering enabled, so your visitors can filter the data in the table. You can also choose which columns will be editable, and which ones will not, so you can limit the data entered by your site visitors. When they add data to the table, that data will be included in the filters.
If you have a category column, they will also be able to filter the table per values in that column.

Is this possible with this plugin or another one?
Hello Micah
Thank you for your interest in our plugin.
No worries, I believe I understood your questions.
Manual tables, tables created from the database (SQL query based tables), and tables imported from existing data sources can be editable.
Tables linked to an existing data source (Excel, CSV, XML, JSON, Serialized PHP Array and Google Spreadsheets), on the other hand are not.
Every table can have advanced filtering enabled, so your visitors can filter the data in the table. You can also choose which columns will be editable, and which ones will not, so you can limit the data entered by your site visitors. When they add data to the table, that data will be included in the filters.
If you have a category column, they will also be able to filter the table per values in that column.
Best regards.
Kind Regards,
Aleksandar Vuković
