WP Data Access > Data Explorer > Manage > Settings
This is a very powerful feature which allows plugin users to add a layer around a table or view. Settings defined for a table or view are available to all plugin tools (Data Explorer, Data Tables, Data Projects and Project Templates). For example, if you change the column labels of a specific table, these labels are used in the Data Explorer, Data Projects and Data Publications. This allows you to manage table and views settings at one central location (see image below).

Some settings require a premium license.

▶ Search Settings #

WP Data Access - Data Explorer Search Settings

WP Data Access supports multiple search settings:

  • Fulltext search (natural language mode, boolean mode and with query expansion)
  • Normal search (exact search and wildcard search)
  • Individual column search (adds search boxes or drop down lists for specific columns)
  • Search engine behaviour (user must enter a search string to get results)

▶ Geolocation Settings #

WP Data Access - Data Explorer Geolocation Settings
With geolocation your users can search places stored in your database table. The users position or a fixed position can be used to search within a range. Interactive maps allows your users to search within a range. Geolocation search can be added to your publications, with or without a map. Read more…

▶ Table Settings #

WP Data Access - Data Explorer Table Settings

Table settings can be used to:

  • Let the plugin use estimated row counts (faster than real row counts)
  • Add row level access control
  • Define how hyperlinks for a table are processed

▶ Column Settings #

WP Data Access - Data Explorer Column types

Use column settings to:

  • Define labels for specific columns in list tables and data entry forms
  • Add WordPress media library integration to specific columns
  • Make columns inline editable on list tables in the back-end and front-end

▶ Dynamic Hyperlinks #

WP Data Access - Data Explorer Dynamic Hyperlinks
A dynamic hyperlink is a computed column generated on the fly. Column variables can be added to a hyperlink and are substituted on generation. Allows adding custom HTML. Read more…

▶ Dashboard Menus #

WP Data Access - Data Explorer Dashboard Menus
This feature allows admin users to add fully functional list tables and data entry forms for a database table to their own WordPress dashboard menu or the dashboard menu of non-admin users. This is the simplest way to create data entry forms. The example above (click image to enlarge) adds a fully functional CRUD solution for table authors to the subscribers dashboard menu. Read more…

    Hello,
    Is it possible to change ‘Search’ label string that appears next to search text field with another word? We are in Portugal so it suits us ‘Pesquisa’:)

    Best regards,
    Igor

    Hi Igor,

    There is a full translation package for Data Tables. You can change the publication language in your plugin settings as explained here:
    https://wpdataaccess.com/docs/data-tables/language-settings/

    To change the language used in the dashboard you would need a plugin translation. Plugin translations can be found here:
    https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/wp-data-access/stable/

    The Potuguese translation is not yet completed, but it might be sufficient for your use case. And you can of course add your own contribution. 🙂

    Hope this helps,
    Peter
