Gravity Forms integration for wpDataTables is an official add-on that connects two of the most powerful tools in the WordPress ecosystem: the advanced form builder Gravity Forms and the renowned table and chart plugin wpDataTables. This add-on converts your form entries into dynamic, interactive, and fully customizable tables, eliminating the need to export data or format it manually.
The add-on is aimed at developers, agencies, and website owners who need to efficiently visualize, analyze, and manage data collected through forms. It is ideal for lead management, event or course registration, survey analysis, order and request tracking, or any scenario where form data needs to be presented clearly and accessibly.
Once activated, the add-on adds "Gravity Form" as a new native data source type in the wpDataTables table creation wizard. You can select the desired form, choose which fields to display as columns, and include entry metadata such as date, user, or IP address. The process is completely visual and requires no coding knowledge.
Among its most notable features is server-side processing, which allows you to create tables with hundreds of thousands of entries without sacrificing performance, thanks to deferred data loading. It also includes front-end table editing with standard or pop-up editors, editing permissions based on user roles, and the option for each user to only see and edit their own data.
Advanced filtering allows front-end users to filter data by the values of each individual column, combining multiple filters to create filterable catalogs. Additionally, the tables offer export to PDF, CSV, and Excel, print view, and column visibility control. From the created tables, it is possible to generate more than 60 different types of charts from 4 powerful engines, updatable in real time.
Configuration is simple: install and activate the add-on, create a new table in wpDataTables, select Gravity Forms as the data source, choose the form and fields, customize the design, and publish the table anywhere on your site using a simple shortcode. You can also configure filters by status and date range, as well as the inclusion or exclusion of deleted entries.
This add-on leverages all the power of wpDataTables, allowing responsive tables, columns with formulas, interactive charts, and much more, turning your form data into visually appealing and easily actionable information.
