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,
Sorry if I haven't checked properly, but I want front-end users to be able to do the following:
1. The fill in details as defined in additional variables.
2. They select merchandise items a backend wpdt. The referenced wpdt has more than 100 sports merchandise items and a user can select a few from the list. The wpdt referenced has just two columns (SN, Merchandise name). The merchandise selected have to be populated into the report. That means some reports will have fewer and others will have more.
3. Download the report, sign and stamp then upload it in our own file upload system (separate from the wpdt and report builder).
Number 3 is just a step shown to complete the cycle but should be a concern of wpdt.
Is it possible to achieve this?
Thanks in advance.
Hi, Kessy.
We had a couple of other users who requested this use-case solution before,
but unfortunately, we still do not have an option where a user could select several rows,
and then do an action on the selected rows, such as like a "checklist", or "add to cart", or other actions
/then do something just with the checked/selected rows.
It is a good idea for a future improvement, though,
We don't have any built-in solution to achieve this at this time,
but you can suggest it to our developers - they will do their best to make a solution in the future.
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.

If you have coding skills and wish to try to make a custom solution now,
you can check out our available hooks for Developers on this documentation and see if you can find any hook that might help.
Please be advised that custom solutions with hooks are not included in our support.
You can also research resources such as Stack Overflow to see if any other user perhaps found a workaround.
( We do like to give examples for certain solutions, but for this use-case, we, unfortunately, don't have anything yet)

2. But to be more specific and comment about choosing rows for Report Builder export;
basically, you will see more details explained on this Documentation Page.
The main point is, you can activate "Report data filtering" on the Report Wizard,
then if you set the table with the Report on same Page,
when user does filtering on the table,
the Report will export only the filtered rows/ only the rows visible on the table on the page.
So technically speaking, if you set up certain filtering for the relevant columns,
let's say if we set a multiselectbox, or a checkbox -
and if a user checks some items there;
the table will filter to only show those selected items.
In that case, if a user goes for "download report" , the Report Builder would just export those filtered rows.
-
That is the only way/alternate workaround at the moment,
until we add the "select multiple rows then do something with them" solution in the future.
I hope that i explained that correctly, but let me know if anything is not clear.
Thank you.
Kind Regards,
Miloš Jovanović
