Key features of Report Builder
with wpDataTables

Export wpDataTables to Excel or DOCX

Generate fully customized documents from your table data created with wpDataTables using the Report Builder plugin. With this integration, Report Builder automatically pulls data from wpDataTables so you don’t have to manually add it.

Use placeholders to auto-fill templates

Design report templates using placeholders (e.g. %VAR1%, %VAR2%) that are automatically replaced with table values. All variables can have a default value, but can also have a front-end input where the front-end users would be able to change it.

Multiple report layouts

Create different templates for different use cases—client reports, registrations, employee summaries, invoices, and more.

Flexible report generation

With the Report Builder addon for wpDataTables, you can generate reports for the entire table (e.g., all transactions, full sales overview) or create individual reports for each row (e.g., payslips, certificates), automatically packed into a ZIP archive. This flexibility makes it ideal for both summary and personalized document generation.

Supports both static and dynamic content

Include logos, headers, formatted paragraphs, tables, and dynamic fields pulled from your wpDataTables.

One-click document generation

Generate and download reports directly from the frontend table interface or programmatically from the backend.

Role-based report access

Control which user roles can generate and view reports—ideal for internal teams or client-facing dashboards.

Follow table filtering for precise output

Generate reports based only on currently visible table data—filters, search terms, sorting, and pagination are all respected. Perfect for exporting exactly what the user sees, such as filtered job applications, survey results, or sales data.
