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 TMS team,
I added some tables to a page for my client to be able to edit some data
I would like them to be only able to edit data included in a few columns, not all columns. Do you think there is a way to do this?
Thank you!
Clement
Hi, Clement
Sorry for the delay
Yes. The easiest way to achieve this is, you can create one "main table" for Administrators to edit,
and you can make an SQL Query from this table, to present this one for front-end clients.
For example, main Manual table;
And then find what is the SQL name of the table on the Editing tab, like this :
Make a new SQL Query based table, like this :
SELECT * FROM wp_wpdatatable_4
( In your case it can be different table number):
And you will have another table, that you can place on the page for clients;
This table will pull data from the main table, and you can set only certain columns - to be edited;
for columns you don't wish to allow them to edit, just set Editor Type as NONE :
Let me know how this sounds? Thank you
Kind Regards,
Miloš Jovanović
