ColVis Legacy

This extension has now been retired and replaced with the column visibility module for Buttons. The documentation is retained for legacy reference only. New projects should use Buttons in preference to ColVis.

ColVis adds a button to the toolbars around DataTables which gives the end user of the table the ability to dynamically change the visibility of the columns in the table:

  • Dynamically show and hide columns in a table
  • Very easy integration with DataTables
  • Ability to exclude columns from being either hidden or shown
  • Save saving integration with DataTables

Keen to jump right in? Initialising ColVis with DataTables:

/*
 * Example initialisation
 */
$(document).ready( function () {
    $('#example').DataTable( {
        "dom": 'C<"clear">lfrtip'
    } );
} );
