Hey there, Awesome Customers!

Just a heads up: We'll be taking a breather to celebrate International Workers' Day (May 1st and 2nd - Wednesday and Thursday) and Orthodox Easter from Good Friday (May 3rd) through Easter Monday (May 6th). So, from May 1st to May 6th, our team will be off enjoying some well-deserved downtime.

During this time, our customer support will be running on a smaller crew, but don't worry! We'll still be around to help with any urgent matters, though it might take us a bit longer than usual to get back to you.

We'll be back in action at full throttle on May 7th (Tuesday), ready to tackle your questions and requests with gusto!

In the meantime, you can explore our documentation for Amelia and wpDataTables. You'll find loads of helpful resources, including articles and handy video tutorials on YouTube (Amelia's YouTube Channel and wpDataTables' YouTube Channel). These gems might just have the answers you're looking for while we're kicking back.

Thanks a bunch for your understanding and support!

Catch you on the flip side!

Warm regards,

TMS

    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. smile.png
