I've watched your documentation videos and read most of it + tried out the sandbox. You did an astonishing job with this plugin, but I have few questions before I make a purchase.
1- Is the manual table customizable? I want to have a textarea in the frontend, I tried using HTML editor but the columns are 1/2 x 1/2 which makes the textarea very small (using the Sandbox).
2- Can Gravity forms be integrated with charts? Gravity form does fix that design customization issue, but can it do same as manual table? e.g. I want my employees to add a traffic violation (drifting, seatbelt), can the chart count how many "drifting" there is as well as "seatbelt" in the table? It seems to work fine in the sandbox with "Manual" tables. Does gravity forms do the same?
3 - I've read the docs of the Report Builder, it can generate multiple reports per table row or a single file with all rows. Can I add a "Generate Doc" action button per table row to download that specific row doc? Instead of downloading all of rows?
1. The manual table is not customizable. The editor and the table look the same in the back-end and in the front-end because the plugin is a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) concept-based plugin. This means that the table should look the same both in the back-end and in the front-end.
2. You need a table to create a chart, and you can use any table type except for the Simple tables, so Gravity Forms-based tables will be a valid source for charts. To count how many instances of "drifting" or "seatbelt" are in the table, you'd need to add an integer column with the default value set to "1", and then enable the Grouping option in the chart wizard. This way, the value (drifting or seatbelt) column will count how many times it was repeated and it will be grouped in the chart.
3. Unfortunately, no. The report builder stands alone on the page, and it cannot be included in a row.

Hello Abdulrahman
Thank you for your interest in our plugin.
