Tabulator offers a wide range of options to programmatically filter data, however I could not find a way to render on the page the dropdown and textbox used to actually filter data on the table.
It seems the only option that render a filter element on the Table is: headerFilter.
It looks weird that I have to create dropdown and searchbox myself?
Here is the link to their page dealing with Filters: http://tabulator.info/docs/4.1/filter
Please advise, thank you
You can use any of tabulators Editors as header filters
The Examples Page contains a fully working example of a table with a selection of header filters including text boxes and select elements
in the column definition you just have to use the headerFilter property, in this case we also use the headerFilterParams option to make the select element populate from the names in the column:
{title:"Name", field:"name" headerFilter:"select", headerFilterParams:{values:true}}
or for a simple input element
{title:"Name", field:"name" headerFilter:"input"}

Is it possible to force the user to select only one value from a filter ?
For a radio button filter as below, is it possible to remove the buttons all & none and make sure that only one Choice is selected ?
you cannot change the existing filter features or functionality without developing a custom extension for a new filter control.
that said, you can certainly emulate a filter using what's called a Property Control and a Data Limiting Expression. for single selection, you're stuck with either a Dropdown control or a Listbox (single select) control.
you would need to...
create a Text Area Visualization on the page somewhere
insert a Listbox or Dropdown Property Control into the Text Area Visualization
create a Document Property with the same data type as your filter column and associate it to the Property Control. you can set this to Unique Values in Column or write in your own Fixed values.
open the Properties dialog on the visualization you'd like to filter and navigate to the Data page
scroll down to Limit Data Using Expression and use an expression like [MyFilterColumn] = "${MyDocumentProperty}" (quotes are required for string values; if numeric then omit quotes)
Please add this CSS in the HTML page of the spotifre to remove all and none
.ColumnFilter .sf-element-filter-item:last-of-type { display:none; }
.ColumnFilter .sf-element-filter-item:first-of-type { display:none; }
Another way to force the users to select one option is to add a Show/Hide in the visualization like this: Hide if UniqueCount([Field]) is greater than 1
I want to create a dropdown in text area to filter data in table dynamically.
I have many entries under Filter "Task Description".
But I want to create a dropdown in text area with only below three entries out of all entries.
All - it will show the entire data
Prasanta - this selection will only show Prasanta related rows
Chandan - this selection should only show Chandan related rows.
Is it possible?
the best and simplest way to do this is with a Text Area visualization containing a Property Control. I'll give you a loose outline and you can use the Spotfire help on Property Controls to get more detail.
add a new Property Control of type Drop-down list to a Text Area
create a new Document Property of type string
set the property value through Expressions
the expressions you list here should evaluate to boolean true or false. for example, for Prasanta rows you might use [Task Description] = "Prasanta". the expression for All rows should be blank.
on the Data page of the filtered visualization's Properties, scroll down to Limit data using expression and click Edit...
from the middle pane, double click the name of the Document Property you created in step 2 above
test by selecting different items from the dropdown you created
I would like to scroll automatically to a given row in a JSF/RichFaces Extended Data-table (rich:extendedDataTable). Ideally, I would like to use two extended data-tables with vertical scrollbars on both.
When I select a row in a first table the corresponding row gets selected in the second table (do this from the managed bean, by playing with the selection attribute of my table).
The second table then scrolls automatically so that the selected row becomes visible, even if hidden.
The solution should not involve the rich:datascroller, but instead use the out-of-box JSF/RichFaces vertical scrolling.
Thanks for helping!

So well I finally developed my own kind of scrollable datatable, playing dynamically with the "first" and "rows" tags of both the datatable and collapsible subtable.
Relevant values are dynamically computed by the managed bean.
I'm having this categorized view displayed in a view panel where the category column itself is not shown. Instead I'm displaying a combobox above the viewPanel where users can select from all the categories available (see screenshot below). The combo is bound to a scopeVariable and is refreshing the viewPanel onChange. The viewPanel has a computed categoryFilter reading from the same scopeVar. That all works nicely.
Now I also have implemented an additional wildcard (*) value in the selection list which (if selected) programmatically sets the cat filter to NULL. This way I'm forcing the viewPanel to show all entries. Again, this works fine, but with the drawback that now the view is showing empty rows where the category entries would be shown normally (in the screenshot you see empty rows above each entry, with 2 entries for the category "edcom GmbH" obviously belonging to the same category; those aren't separated by an empty row):
One way to at least hide those empty rows would be through means of css coding. But I would prefer those rows not being rendered at all.
Can this be done at all using a viewPanel, and how? Or do I have to use other controls like a repeat or a dataTable maybe?
Thanks in advance,
Lothar
One "hack" (an ugly one I admit) would be to change your categorization column from Firma to Firma:"--All--" or Firma:"*" and then instead of setting the category filter to NULL you set it to "--All--" (or "*").
The double category hits the indexer, but should do what you need.
Obviously there's no easy way. So meanwhile I'll stick to this css-style solution:
In the view panel und All Properties - data I set var = "entry". Then, under All Properties - styling I set a programatic value for the rowClasses property:
if(entry.isCategory()){
return "rowStyleHidden";
}
return "";
The style class "rowStyleHidden" hides those rows using
display: none;
Don't know yet how this turns out performance-wise, I'll have to observe this once I implement it in a copy of the real database.
You can also switch to a none categorized view, by having the viewname calculated based on the value in combobox.
I`v added a hyperlink (SPFieldUrl class) column (field) with GUI to my list.
Pity, but I cannot filter those values when viewing the list.

(It reads that you cannot filter this column type)
Is there any way to have it easy filterable with clicking on columns besides creating a custom view?
Thank you.
Depending on how you are using the url, you may be able to do something with calculated columns.
Another option is to use a text field rather than a url field - The url field type is effectively a combination of two fields, so you may be able to get what you are looking for by creating those two field seperately.
