is it possible to add datasets using jQuery DataTables

Question

I have tried datatables (datatables.net) and I like it it quite much, due to the simplicity and possibilities.

Now I'm at a point where I need to create new sets of data and I wonder if it is at all possible with datatables. I'm afraid, datatables is just used for displaying data, not for editing existing sets of creating new sets.

Am I right?

Many thanks

Update: I'm afraid I need to rephrase the question.
Is it possible to use datatables as some kind of form to enter new data (and or edit existing data)?
I can take care of adding (and or updating ) data on the server side myself.

Sorry for not being specific enough on the first run.

DataTables does not create new data for you. Your best option is to create the new data server side and refresh the data (using ajax.reload()). You can add rows to a DataTable with .row.add(), but that won't save the data to the server.
