Hi, TonyF.

I am not sure i understood your use-case.

If you need to have a dynamic filter that looks for the currently logged user's informations,

we have these placeholders available :

Currently logged user ID, 

 Login Username, 

Email , 

First Name,

 Last Name.

There are two ways how you can use our "currently logged users" placeholders,

via SQL Query with "WHERE" Statement,

and with a predefined column filter.

I will share my example for using the current user's Email for filtering the table.

-

You can use our dynamic placeholder %CURRENT_USER_EMAIL% for this purpose.

There are two ways how you can do this.

If you have an SQL Query based table, just add this to your Query.

Let's say if your SQL Query was simple like this :

"SELECT * FROM TableName"

Then, just add this WHERE statement to filter the table in your Email Column by current user Email :

SELECT * FROM TableName
WHERE email= '%CURRENT_USER_EMAIL%'

and then this SQL table will only load rows for the currently logged user's Email.

Just change the "TableName" with your table name, and "email" with your origin Header name of the email column.

-

Or, if you don't use SQL Tables, you can also use predefined filter value in your email column, 

go in the columns Filtering settings, set it as Text type, add predefined filter value as this placeholder :

This is how my test table looks, i got a few emails in this column.

Now it will just filter by my currently logged email.

Let me know if that helps.

Hello Tony.

I'm sorry to disappoint you, but unfortunately, something like this is not yet possible.

wpDataTables can't recognize a session like that. We'll forward it to our developers, as an idea for the future, but for the time being there's no way something like this can be achieved.

At this time, we don't have any built-in solution to achieve this, 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.
