DataTables Implementation

We make use of the DataTables.net library to present a number of the tables on the site, e.g. the shipping batch, duplicates, entitlements and event tables.

DataTables.net is a powerful jQuery plugin that adds advanced interaction controls to HTML tables. The library provides a comprehensive set of features for displaying and manipulating tabular data.

For complete documentation, see DataTables.net Documentation.
