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!

    Hi,

    I want a column to feature 2 data types (e.g. some rows in the same column would feature images while other rows would feature string text). This is important to us because we only want to display images in certain cells of a column while having the rest be normal string text). Same goes for "string" and "url link", as we only want certain cells in a column to have hyperlinks while having all other cells in a column defaulting to "string" text.

    Is there a way to have a column type to have multiple data types or is it all or nothing (if a column type is set to "string" I can't show images in any rows?).

    Note: we're uploading data from an excel using the "Create a table by importing data from a data source" and editing published tables in the column settings.

    Hello Eric

    Thank you for reaching out to us.

    You can do this with string-type columns by using HTML tags. Basically, in cells where you want to include images, you'd need to use the <img> tag, like this:

    <img src="url-to-the-image" height="50"> Some text, if you want to add it

    And to include links, you'd use the anchor tag, like this:

    <a href="some-url">Hyperlink text</a>

    Or if you want the link to be visible, without the hyperlink text:

    <a href="some-url">some-url</a>

    I hope that helps.

    Kind Regards, 

    Aleksandar Vuković
