Overview
Visitors can use cascading filters to narrow complex tables one selection at a time. As they choose an option, the available choices in later filters update to reflect that selection. This helps make relevant data easier to find and reduces the number of unrelated options shown.
The plugin provides a visual filter builder, with options for dropdowns, checkboxes, and ranges. Filters can work without reloading the page, and their styles and layouts can be customized. It fits WordPress sites that use wpDataTables to present data and want visitors to explore it through interactive filters.
Features
- Cascading filter choices: Create interdependent filters that update later options based on a visitor's earlier selections, helping them narrow table data step by step.
- Visual filter builder: Build filters with a visual interface, making it possible to configure table filtering without writing code.
- Multiple filter types: Offer dropdown, checkbox, and range filters so visitors can choose options suited to the table data.
- Filtering without reloads: Apply filter selections in real time without reloading the page, so visitors can refine table results in place.
- Custom filter layouts: Adjust filter styles and layouts to match the design of your website and the way you present table data.
- wpDataTables features: Use filters alongside wpDataTables features such as sorting, pagination, and editable tables.
