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 am preparing a client's website. He wants to auto number a colum such as serial number. Tell me how to do that
Hi Amol,
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.

If you need just a simple "auto-increment" integer Numeric Column, which is going to start from ID as 1, then 2, 3, and so on, to keep counting them like that;
Our Manual Tables, for example, already have a unique auto-increment ID row, which is hidden by default, but you will find it under the Column List, named as "wdt_ID".
You can check more details here how to make a Manual Table;
Or you can prepare a Spreadsheet and import this data to a new Manual Table;
You will also be able to update existing Manual Tables from file;
And of course, they are fully editable as well.

If you wanted something different, like a custom "serial number" Column, you will also have the ability to create a custom SQL Table, outside of our Plugin, if you have knowledge how to work with PHPMyAdmin or similar DB Management Tools, but for that , our Support is limited to only advice, we are not covering building Source Data/Tables or writing Custom SQL Queries.
Then you can call this Table with our SQL Query based Tables, to pull the data you need.
If you create a Column with any "automated function" to auto-populate in your Database -then our SQL Query Table should pull the data correctly as it is coming from the Database.
Or , for example, if you set that column to be "auto increment" via your DB Management Tool, on the source SQL Table - then any new row you create with our Table, is going to automatically populate with +1 logic like that.
You can find various Tutorials, for example this one : How to add auto-increment to column in MySQL database using PhpMyAdmin.
Let me know if that helps, or if you need to achieve something different?
And i just wanted to point out that you can try wpDataTables before purchasing
on our sandbox Demo sites ( you can find links for the main plugin Demo,
as well as add-on Demos, in my signature),
and there is a 15-day money-back guarantee period,
so if you purchase the plugin, you can safely fully test it out, and if it doesn't fit your needs you can request and receive a refund in that period. ( same goes for all plugins and add-ons)
Let me know if you have any additional questions.
Kind Regards,
Miloš Jovanović
