    Good day,

    Please may you let me know how to enable the filters to contain distinct column items and display them as a drop-down? I would assume that all available filters on the page would also be affected so if I was to select an item, then all the corresponding filters will update accordingly as well.

    I also need to do quite a bit of look and feel changes (removing of white space, formatting filter boxes etc). Please may you let me know if this is possible?

    Looking forward to getting the most of your exciting plugin!

    Many thanks

    Justin

    Hello Justin

    I'm not sure if I understood correctly, but I believe you're looking for the "Define values list" option:

    With it, you can define possible values for both editing and filtering. For example, if you have a list of all European countries, and you want to allow only distinct entries in the filer (Germany, France, Spain, Italy, for example), you can add those as individual values in the "Values list" section, and only those countries will be available in the filter. The type of filter can be changed under the "Filtering" tab in the column settings, which you can see in the screenshot above.

    As for styling - at the moment customizations that are offered are included in the Customize section above the table, while any other custom work needs to be done with custom CSS. Please note that included support doesn't cover custom solutions.

    Kind Regards,
