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!

    The subject says it all.  Using an sql query as a data source, is it possible to have a wildcard as the default value in a placeholder.  Allowing for all records to be displayed unless the placeholder contains a specific value.

    Thanks,

    Greg

    Hi Greg,

     Sorry for the late response, we have some agents that have contracted Covid-19, so our team is cut in half.

    Yes, you can create table from SQL query like

    SELECT * FROM yourTableName WHERE yourColumnName LIKE '%VAR1%'

    then on Placeholders tab for VAR1 you can insert %% like this on image

    Then you can insert on page for example

    [wpdatatable id=1]
    [wpdatatable id=1 var1="value1"]
    [wpdatatable id=1 var1="value2"]

    Of course you will repace your table id and your values for placeholders and you will get same table with all data(first one) and filtered (other two) based on value from shortcode parameter for placeholder var1. you can use it separate on other pages, where ever you need.

    Let me know is this what you looking for.

    Best regards.


    Kind Regards, 

    Isidora Markovic
