Possible to Lock Rows and Prevent Them From Being Filtered?

roammobility

Is it possible to only apply filtering to specific rows, and to prevent other rows from being filtered?

Thanks!

Hi roammobility,

The basic answer is no - the filtering is applied to all rows.

The complex answer is, yes this can be done, but you will need to implement a custom filter: http://datatables.net/development/filtering . It would be fairly simple to have your filter identify which rows you have 'locked' and not filter then out, but then apply the regular filtering to all other rows.
