Report Builder for wpDataTables

This is EXACTLY the same product as distributed by the developer. Sales Page

Core Features & Capabilities

• Real-time Document Generation: Documents are created on the fly. If your table data changes, the generated report will reflect those changes immediately.

• Custom Templates: You don’t build the report layout in WordPress. Instead, you use your existing corporate forms, invoices, or contracts (DOCX/XLSX) and insert variables like ${customer_name} or ${total_amount}.

• Bulk Generation: You can generate a single file for all table rows or a separate file for every single row in a table. The plugin can then bundle these into a ZIP file for download.

• Front-end User Inputs: You can add custom input fields (like date pickers or text boxes) on the front end, allowing users to add their own data to the report before downloading.

• Filter Integration: It respects the current state of your wpDataTable. If a user filters a table to show only “April Sales,” the generated report will only include those filtered rows.

How the Workflow Works

The plugin uses a 5-step wizard to guide you through the setup:

• Data Source: Select the wpDataTable you want to pull data from.

• Configuration: Name your report and set the generation logic (single vs. bulk files).

• Template Upload: Upload your Word or Excel file containing the ${variable} placeholders.

• Preview: Generate a test document to ensure the data maps correctly to your placeholders.

• Shortcodes: Get a shortcode to place a “Download Report” button anywhere on your site.

Common Use Cases

Important Requirements

• wpDataTables Pro: You must have the premium version of wpDataTables installed for the Report Builder add-on to function.

• PHP Libraries: Your server usually needs the zip and xml PHP extensions enabled (standard on most hosts) to handle the document creation.
