I already have purchased wpdatatables. I want to use a table within a single post template, and have users only view their data.
I'd like to use the Powerful filters addons so that users can filter by post title. Before I purchase, can the filter be set so that users will only see the post titles that they have authored?
1. The powerful filters are used to add more flexibility and "on the fly" filtering when you combine them with existing "advanced filters" from wpDataTabes.
2. Regarding the setting to make "the authors see only their own rows/data",
it can be done a couple of different ways, depending on how the table is created and configured, and what could be the best for your situation...
For example, If you made the table Front End editable, then you could create a custom integer column, which would store the currently logged author's ID ( we usually hide it from the Front End), and you can use a built-in setting to easily make the table dynamic and only load the posts for their authors.

Hi, Karl.
Thanks for reaching out to us.
1. The powerful filters are used to add more flexibility and "on the fly" filtering when you combine them with existing "advanced filters" from wpDataTabes.
For example, it adds "cascading filters", and "hide the table before it loads" into the mix. More details about that on this link - https://wpdatatables.com/documentation/addons/powerful-filtering/
2. Regarding the setting to make "the authors see only their own rows/data",

More details about that on this link ( with an example) - https://wpdatatables.com/documentation/front-end-editing/allowing-users-to-edit-only-their-own-data/
If you need more details or further assistance, please send us a more detailed explanation of your situation.
