    Hi, 

    I would like to know how to create an editable table for people submitting data from my website. 

    For example, a table with Height  Width Depth information, people type numbers in, and export to CSV. 

    I don't want them to save any data to my Wordpress. 

    How is this possibly be done? 

    I have spent two hours trying "manually data", but failed. 

    Regards, 


    Nap

    Hi Nap

    Thank you for reaching out to us.

    You can achieve this with our Users can see and edit only own data option.

    To do this the table needs to be editable (so you would need to import the file, or create a manual table), and also you need to have the User ID field in the table. Meaning, if John has user ID = 5, when he logs into your WordPress site, and looks at the table, he'd only see his data if you selected the User ID column as the "User ID column" in the Editing tab above the table. If there's no user ID column, and they aren't logging into WordPress, this will not work.

    Please have a look at the video below

    I hope this helps, do let us know if you need any further assistance.
