The advanced column filtering, such as dropdown filters with SelectBox/multiSelectBox is available for almost all our Tables;
it is just not available for the Simple Table type.
1. If you are using a Simple table - it does have some advantages/unique Featues such as 'merging of cells' , reordering rows, and a very easy user interface;
but on the other hand, it has some major limitations when compared to other DataTable types.
You can not use any Filters/search, and you can check the full list of limitations on this Page.
2. For any other Table type - you can check out this Documentation which shows everything about dropdown filters and more.
You can try with a Manual Table ( it can be made from scratch like this; or by importing Data from a Spreadsheet) and on that Table you can go in any Column settings/Filtering/ and choose a Selectbox/Multiselectbox.
Your examples show lots of cool features such as drop-down boxes for filtering. Is this a feature which can be switched on or created by CSS?
