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!
I'm wondering if I can use wpdatatables in conjunction with Gravity Forms to create a leaderboard for my organization. Our members need to log their continuing education hours on a regular basis and we have set it up as a competition. So an individual may enter several times. We need to be able to total up each person's entries and then sort all the individuals totals in descending order.
Can we do this and if so, how?
Mike
Hi Mike
Thank you for reaching out to us.
Every editable table can be editable by users on front-end, if you enable editing for the chosen columns. You can also set the column for sorting on load so your data can be displayed in the desired ordes as soon as the table loads.
In order to use "Users see and edit only own data" feature, you need to have the User ID column in the table, where the user's ID will be populated. If you don't predefine rows so the User ID column contains IDs of your users, they will first see an empty table, with only columns, and 0 rows.
When they add new lines into the table, their ID will be populated in the User ID column.
To total up the entries you can use our formula columns and display the final result in a separate column.
I hope this helps, but if I misunderstood something please do provide us with some more information or examples of what you would like to achieve so we can provide you with the best solution.
