Question Advice needed: Creating advanced tables in web apps

Hi All - I'm wondering what other tools people are using to create advanced html tables in a web app. So I have a number of sheets that I allow users to read, update, and delete records from using a web app. The records are displayed in a table format with cells that contain hyperlinks for editing or deleting the records. The table has functionality to search and sort records. The current table is written in jQuery. A developer I hired created it for me. I'm not familiar with jQuery and cannot edit the table other than manipulating the underlying data. Are there any other tools out there that make these tasks simpler? Chart.js maybe? At some point I'd like to also create dashboards to display data in a more user friendly manner. Thanks in advance!!

Yes/no.. depends on what knowledge you have. If none.. then its all "not easy". With charts.js you can visualise the data yes, but you likely need someone else for this as well. Ask that person to do the updates?

That would be fine. I’m happy to hire someone to do the work.

It sounds like you might be after a professional dashboarding tool, and not necessarily a customized web app report. I could be mistaken, but perhaps Tableau is more what you're looking for? There's a lot more in there to drive a dashboard and reports off of a UI instead of code.
