I am using Datatables Collapsible/Expandable Grouping.
I have configured it so that all groups collapsed in the initial view.
Thanks to ThulasiRam's help, I've integrated group rowcount and collapse/expand all features. Thanks to AbstractChaos' help I've also integrated a search/reset search which opens/closes groups which match the search criteria
Datatables row grouping - how to add rowcount per group and expand/collapse all
Datatables row grouping - how to expand to show search matches and add reset search field button
I need to add one more additional feature: a checkbox to exclude/include records which are marked as "legacy" in the status column.
I've set up a jsfiddle to show what I'm trying to accomplish: http://jsfiddle.net/lbriquet/NeMXd/18/
Any help would really be appreciated!!
