  If you are referring to this example you can use one the row-selector options to select only those rows you wish. If you still need help please provide more information about "i want to select only n number of records which i've specified.".

  Here's my custom button that i created, It does work but it takes too much time because it's iterating each entries until max limit is reached.
  Hope this code will explain what i am trying to do.

  You can refactor that code to make it more efficient:

  1. You're counting the rows on each iteration - you only need to do it once and then increment the count yourself.
  2. You keep going through the loop even when the max value is reached - you can break out by returning false

  This is the code from this example:

    var selectedRows = table.rows({selected:true}).count();
    table.rows().every(function(i) {
      if (max > selectedRows) {
        this.select();
        selectedRows++;
      }
      else {
        return false;
      }    
    })
