Set Column defaultly to hidden using buttons.

erpankajs

I am using datatables, Sometime its create too much confusion when documentation does not gave the answer for my question. But still i am fan of datatables.

I am using buttons extensions: for PDF, CSV, PRINT, EXCEL and SHOW COLUMNS

When print and pdf is clicked the result is good, but one page title is added on the top. I am not founding any way to edit this as per the table.

When show columns is used, i want to hide some columns by default on table load (page load)

// Here's the code, which shown the columns visibility options
buttons: [{
        extend: 'collection',
        text: 'Show Columns',
        buttons: [ 'columnsVisibility' ],
        visibility: true
}]

Are you using the Buttons extension? This provides functionality to hide/show columns.

If you desire a show/hide all columns, check out my answer in the following thread on how I solved this for my applicaiton https://datatables.net/forums/discussion/comment/89772/#Comment_89772
