jqGrid Filter Toolbar initial default value

Question

I\'m using jqGrid with the filter toolbar, i need to set an initial default filter value to one of the fields so that only rows with status \'Open\' are displayed by default

Answer 1

Have you looked at Toolbar Searching and Add-On Grid Methods in the jqGrid documentation wiki? It looks like you may be able to use filterToolbar to set a filter, and triggerToolbar to set the filter. I have not tried this myself, but you could probably do this in loadComplete, once data has been loaded for the grid.

Does this help?
