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!

    Good day,

    Please may you let me know how to enable the filters to contain distinct column items and display them as a drop-down? I would assume that all available filters on the page would also be affected so if I was to select an item, then all the corresponding filters will update accordingly as well.

    I also need to do quite a bit of look and feel changes (removing of white space, formatting filter boxes etc). Please may you let me know if this is possible?

    Looking forward to getting the most of your exciting plugin!

    Many thanks

    Justin

    Hello Justin

    I'm not sure if I understood correctly, but I believe you're looking for the "Define values list" option:

    With it, you can define possible values for both editing and filtering. For example, if you have a list of all European countries, and you want to allow only distinct entries in the filer (Germany, France, Spain, Italy, for example), you can add those as individual values in the "Values list" section, and only those countries will be available in the filter. The type of filter can be changed under the "Filtering" tab in the column settings, which you can see in the screenshot above.

    As for styling - at the moment customizations that are offered are included in the Customize section above the table, while any other custom work needs to be done with custom CSS. Please note that included support doesn't cover custom solutions.

    Kind Regards,
