Hi, we purchased WPdatatables with the intention to build a very simple activity tracker for our small business. The functionality is expected to work like this:

• Admin builds a table with the column headers: user | service_area | activity_type | week1 | week2 | week3 | week4 
• The fields for service_area | activity_type are pre-populated with about 100 rows describing service areas and activities that we do
• The fields week1, week2 etc are integer fields where a user can enter how many hours were worked on an activity that week.
• The field user would be populated with the userid from Wordpress 
• We have 10 users (employees). When logged in, each user should be able to enter the number of hours they worked per activity for the fields week1, week 2. week 3 and week 4 of the month. However, after we click 'users see and edit only own data' it appears that the logged in user does not see all the 100 pre-populated rows of service areas and activities that Admin had pre-filled. It seems to us that each of the 10 users would have to fill the same 100 rows describing the services areas and activities again before they can enter the number of hours worked... 

What would you suggest for a setup please? 

Hello Aleksandar, 

Thanks, thats clear and we implemented this solution. 

We found the easiest way to do the duplication was to use 'excel-like' mode to do the pasting and then revert to 'standard'. 

Best, Roger
