Dadabik NOT Dcumented features,

[Jaidee]

Would greatly appreciate you document "How to" the following Dadabik features
Advanced SQL reports
pivot tables
PDF GENERATION
Create PDF from results set
Custom templates
Mail merge
All the above is part of the Dadabik package publicity but nowhere an example can be found.
So that the user can elaborate and proceed on it.
We are being asked to use ?? mail feature, no idea how to go about.
Can you create a short video for each feature.
Example, simple demo pivot 3 dimension for you CRM.
You know it is not rocket sign but for a no coder ... it is

If you check the documentation you will find almost everything you need.
For example, you say PDF Generation is not documented while there is an entire chapter:

Manual - DaDaBIK

PHP database front-end / CRUD generator / Web application builder for MySQL, SQLite, PostgreSQL and MS SQL Server.

dadabik.com

I think you should ask questions more clearly and without using huge, bold fonts.

Your posts are sometimes very hard to read ("Produce a PDF with tabular data ?? dont understand ???") and questions are quite vague .

1."Produce a PDF with tabular data how do I do that ? dont understand from your manual
"Produce a PDF with tabular data

The chapter literally explains, step by step, how to do it, just follow the instructions. Which part is not clear? If you just say "don't understand your manual" I think nobody will be able to help you.

In your manual You give
products.html
product_header.html
product_footer.html
How do you put it all together ???

There isn't anything to put together, you need three files exactly as the documentations says.

2. Pivot table 3 dimensions
show how to make in your CRM model pivot table with 3 variables please.
parameters, All customer-All procduts - count
Example: expected output
prod A Prod B Prod C Tot
Client A 3 7 4 14
Client B 4 5 1 10
Client C 2 1 1 4

If you read entirely the documentation, you will see that if you want to create a Pivot table by using the DaDaBIK GUI, without any coding, you can group by ONE field.

What you are referring to, grouping by two fields, isn't a not documented feature as you said, it's a feature that is not available.

4. Mail Merge
How do I send mails ? Can you give example ?

Again, if you read the documentation you will realize that the "Mail Merge"-like feature has nothing to do with sending e-mail.

In DaDaBIK you have a built-in email notification feature (check the config parameter $enable_update_notice_email_sending and $enable_insert_notice_email_sending) or you can send email in your custom code in PHP, using the mail() function or using any other PHP based method.

Best,
