    Hi,

    This example shows how it can be done.

    If you need more help than that, could you give me a link to your page so I can see the configuration and data please?

    Thanks,
    Allan

    i see that in ur ajax, the data are set up with 2 value, an id and a name

    "permission": [
        {
          "id": "3",
          "name": "Desktop"
        },
        {
          "id": "1",
          "name": "Printer"
        },
        {
          "id": "4",
          "name": "VMs"
        }
      ]
    

    so the javascript is set up like this :

    {
                    data: "permission",
                    render: {
                        _: '[, ].name',
                        sb:'[].name'
                    },
                    searchBuilder: {
                        orthogonal:'sb'
                    },
                    searchBuilderType: 'array'
                }
    

    In my json, the data is only one value and not separate with { } :

    "SKILLS":"Skills1 , Skill 2"

    How i m suppose to set up my javascript ? Do i have to change my json as well to look like your ?

    Change your columns.render to a function and return the sb Orthogonal data as an array. I didn't test it but try this:

    {
                  data: "SKILLS",
                  render: function ( data, type, row ) {
                    // Return an array for search builder
                    if ( type === 'sb' ) {
                        // Split the string to create an array of skills
                        return data.split( " , " );
                    }
                    // Otherwise return the original data for all other orthogonal types
                    return data;
                },
                    searchBuilder: {
                        orthogonal:'sb'
                    },
                    searchBuilderType: 'array'
                }

    Answer ✓

    As you have it at the moment, the data is just a string, so it is correctly just displaying a list of the possible strings.

    Yes, if you want to use SearchBuilder's array based operations, you'd need to use an array for the data.
