Hello Craig.

Thank you for your interest in our plugin.

1. You have several options when creating tables with our plugin:

• Manual
• SQL Query based tables
• Tables linked to Google Spreadsheet, Excel, CSV, JSON, Serialized PHP Arrays and XML files
• Tables imported from an existing data source (Google Spreadsheet, Excel, CSV)

Each option has its benefits and limitations. There are also tables created from Gravity Forms and Formidable Forms, but they require purchasing the add-ons for integration with one of the two Form plugins. I don't know exactly what you mean by dashboard reports, but we also have a report add-on Report Builder. It is used to create reports from existing tables based on Excel or Word templates.

The tables are added to your web pages with the use of shortcodes, and you can place one or more shortcodes on a single page, showing different tables. There's also an option to create wpDataCharts. We use free Highcharts, Charts.js and Google Chart libraries for creating the charts, and they are all created from existing wpDataTables.

2. I am not familiar with that theme, but the plugin works for most themes out there. There are some conflicts, of course, due to the nature of WordPress, but usually they are easily resolvable.

3. You can take a look at our ShowCase. The first 10 examples are created by us, and are available in our documentation, but below that (starting from Insider Alarm) are 3rd party websites that use wpDataTables.

If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.
