Good morning. My local fire department is looking to be able use something like your wpDataTables plugin for a project regarding monitoring their training.
Can you tell me if your plugin would be able to fulfill these requirements:
1. I need to create a spreadsheet template that looks like the attached sheet and it should auto calculates hour totals at the bottom row.
2. 300+ firefighters would need to log in and edit their own spreadsheet.
3. Those same firefighters can periodically log in to add to their spreadsheet and save their progress.
4. Supervisors could log in and view progress of the individual fire fighters sheets.
5. Can we automatically send weekly reports to supervisors (or can they go in and run a report manually) showing individual progress (total hours so far for each fire fighter).
I believe what you're looking for to achieve can be accomplished with wpDataTables.
1. Creating a table like this is possible:
So, without the logo on top, and the two fields. Those could be custom notifications on the page where the table is located, so that's not a big issue. The "Hours" column can be set to "Float" (because of the decimal point), and you can use our Calculation Functions to count the total (SUM).
2. If they would each have their own spreadsheet, that could easily be achieved by placing the table in the firefighter's page. Another option would be to utilize our "Users see and edit only own data" feature, with which you can have one master table, and add an integer column, which would represent each firefighter's WordPress user ID (they would need to have a WordPress user account created). They would be recognized by that user ID, and only rows associated to that user ID will be displayed to the user.
3. Sure, if you enable editing on front-end, they would be able to do that.
4. Supervisors would need to have access to the back-end, so they can view the table. Or, you could pull the info for administrators in new duplicated tables.
5. Unfortunately, there are no automated processes in wpDataTables, and that would have to be done manually.
