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!

Remove sum symbol

    Hi,

    For the totals function (column or shortcode) DataTables shows the funky sum symbol (e.g. ∑ = 155.00).  How do I change the settings so that it just prints the value and not any of the symbol formating?

    Thanks,

    -Norm

    Hi Norm

    Thank you for reaching out to us.

    You can remove the SUM symbol by following the advice from this ticket: https://tmsplugins.ticksy.com/ticket/2545174/

    When you update the plugin, the code is replaced and it needs to be changed again.

    Do let us know if this helps and if you need any further assistance.

    Can an option be added in table / column settings to display / hide the symbol, or replace it with a user selected symbol?  For example, I'm summing up a column of costs in $ so I would like the total value to be displayed with a $ symbol such as $49.99.

    Hi Norm

    You can change the SUM symbol in wpDataTables main settings

    but unfortunately there is no option for turning this on or off on a click of a button.

    Hey, thanks for the suggestion. It does help somewhat, but only marginally. 

    I would like to put in a feature request that those calculated totals setting (sum, average, min, etc) be added to the table column settings. It doesn't work as a global setting because I may have two different columns with different units that need to be summed.  For example, one column may be dollars ($) that I need to sum and the column next to it might be pounds (lbs). Thus I need to be able to set the totals prefix on each column.

    Does that make sense? Can I put in a feature request to add those settings to the column settings?

    Thanks,

    -Norm
