{hero}

showSelected

Since: Select 1.6.0

Toggle a filter that will reduce the rows displayed to just those which are selected.
Please note - this property requires the Select extension for DataTables.

Description

It can be useful to give your end users the ability to filter a table just to the rows that are currently selected, particularly when working with larger data sets. This button provides that ability by toggling a filter when activated. Toggling it a second time will remove the filter and show all rows again.

Note that when in the filtered state, changing the selection does not automatically update the filter - the table will remain showing the rows that were selected when the button was activated until the next table redraw.

Please note that this button does not work with server-side processing enabled. It uses client-side processing specific mechanisms to operate.

Example

Show a button which will toggle a filter to show selected rows only:

new DataTable('#myTable', {
	buttons: ['showSelected']
});
