  You can loop all the rows using rows().every(). In the loop you can check for your condition then use row().child().show() to show the child. You can do this in initComplete or draw or whatever event suites your purpose.

  Thanks. I still can't figure out the exact line to lets's say show the detail row of the first row
  I tried $('#myTable').DataTable().row(0).child.show() among many other things.

  Here is an example of what I described to open rows base on a condition. In this case Office === London:
  http://live.datatables.net/toqedesi/1/edit

  I tried $('#myTable').DataTable().row(0).child.show()

  In order for row().child.show() you need to attach the child row first using row().child() to apply the row data. Did you do that?

  If you still need help please update my test case or create you own with what you need help with.
