searchPanes.panes.preSelect

Since: SearchPanes SearchPanes 1.0.0

Deprecated. Define any preSelections for the custom panes.
Please note - this property requires the SearchPanes extension for DataTables.

Description

This option is deprecated from version 2.0.0+. It was replaced by searchPanes.preSelect which allowed the order that the selections were made in to be defined. This allowed preselecting to become compatible with searchPanes.cascadePanes

As standard, Custom panes have no preSelected options.

Setting searchPanes.panes.preSelect to contain strings that match the value of an options searchPanes.panes.options.label will allow SearchPanes to select that option for preSelection.

Note: Before version 2.0.0 where this option was deprecated, searchPanes.panes.preSelect was not supported with searchPanes.cascadePanes. This was because in order to have the cascade operate as expected the selections has to be made in the correct order. It is however now in versions after 2.0.0 using searchPanes.preSelect.
