Report Builder is an official addon for wpDataTables that allows you to automatically generate Word (DOCX) and Excel (XLSX) documents, filling custom templates with real data from your database. Developed by the same team behind wpDataTables, this addon turns your dynamic tables into professional reports ready to print, export, or download.
This addon is aimed at developers, agencies, and businesses that need to automate the generation of documents such as invoices, contracts, sales reports, transaction lists, commercial offers, statements, exam lists, catalogs, and much more. No programming knowledge is required: simply prepare a standard template in DOCX or XLSX format, insert the corresponding placeholders, and the system takes care of the rest.
Key features include real-time document generation with always-up-to-date data, the ability to include front-end user entries within generated documents, and bulk generation of multiple documents with a single click, automatically packaged into a ZIP file. Documents can be downloaded from the WordPress front-end or admin panel, or saved directly to the media library.
The addon allows you to create multiple report templates for different use cases, such as client reports, employee summaries, invoices, or custom certificates. It also respects the filters, searches, sortings, and pagination applied to the tables, so reports reflect exactly the data visible on screen. Additionally, it offers role-based access control, allowing you to restrict which users can generate and view reports.
Generation controls can be easily inserted via the WordPress visual editor or WPBakery, and documents can include logos, headers, formatted paragraphs, tables, and dynamic fields pulled from wpDataTables. With Report Builder, creating custom reports becomes a fast, reliable, and fully automated process.
