Hi, I have a data table of sale orders and currently, users have to use the 'Search Builder' to filter the data, but the majority of the searches are common, so I'd like to have buttons at the top of the data table that performs these common searches when clicked, is this possible?
I can see there is a pre-defined option for the search builder, but I cannot see how this would be replicable to a custom button.
Thanks, Chris

searchBuilder.rebuild()
) into your button'saction

"dataTables.searchBuilder.min.js:151 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property '_searchBuilder' of undefined"
I've created 3 buttons, which all result in the same error as above.
The code I've added is as follows:
Any ideas?
Cheers, Chris

Thank you, Kevin, you were right, I was using the variable reference of the table not the actual table name
