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!
I have a table with 4 fields. On desktop it shows very nicely. On mobile, however, the real estate is very small. One idea is to display the results vertically by combining the results rather than in a table with one row and 4 columns. For example, the image would show with the name of the person under it and then the description and then the button. Is something like this possible? I have the forms plugin but I'm not sure that can be used for something like this?
Hi, Andy
Firstly, I would like to sincerely apologize for the delayed response as we have been experiencing an unusually high number of tickets. I am sorry that it has taken longer than usual to respond to your concern and your patience is highly appreciated.

We don't have a built-in way to switch the display as you described, to kind of switch them to go vertically, just for mobile screens.
Please feel free to search on our suggestions page,
to see if someone may be already suggested this feature. If you can't see it, feel free to add your suggestion there, and as more people vote, the feature will move higher on the priority list.
You can certainly follow our changeLog page if you'd like ( it is also available in the plugin dashboard), where we state any changes/new features/bug fixes during updates;
and our newsletter, so you're informed about new features, bug fixes, freebies, etc.
- There is a custom workaround, for SQL users, to make a Pivot table; but this would do it for all the screens, so that won't do here.

What you could try, at least to make the table look nicer as much as possible, is either to try our Responsive features;
here is an example of how i use it for mobile screens :
For mobile screens, a typical layout with our built-in responsive setup can be, for example, like on this screenshot, two columns showing fully, ( you can choose one or more to be "visible") and the rest of the columns, "hidden",
then there is an " + " button, to open a certain row, and show all the details, of course.
For example, if i got this table
And if i only select columns Client and City, to show on mobile screen, go to Column List:
The little mobile image is used to display on mobile screens, and the one to the left of it is for tablets;
This is the result:
Please check out this Documentation section with a step-by-step example of how to achieve this, and let me know what you think.

So, i will advise to check if you selected the two columns that you need to be both visible on mobile;
see them on column list; and set them visible on mobile, while keeping the other column grayed out.

Another way can be using our Master-Details add on. It has really cool features, perhaps that can help. Please check it out here.
Before purchase, you can test the Add-on features on our sandbox site.

Let me know if any of this helped - i hope so
Kind Regards,
