Default Data Filtering Shortcode

Default Data Filtering Shortcode feature allows you to quickly and easily display just the rows you want to show by providing a simple filter text in the table shortcode. In this case, you should filter the data created earlier in the table.

Default Data Filtering Shortcode is a Pro Feature!

For instance, say you have a table with lots of movie data, and you want to show the rows that only contain Adventure. This can be previously done in only one possible way- your user had to search for Adventure movies manually, given that you have allowed the Search / Filter options in your table.

However, the Default Data Filtering feature allows you as an admin to set default filtering options in a table containing a huge amount of data.
