Hi Alan,


If only the filtering should be performed, you could directly use the filter method of the dataSource.
E.g.

var grid = $("#StudentInvoices").data("kendoGrid");
grid.dataSource.filter( { field: "name", operator: "startswith", value: "Jane" });

The query method is suitable for more specific requests.
E.g.

grid.dataSource.query({
  page: 2,
  pageSize: 5,
  filter: { field: "Freight", operator: "gte", value: 24 }
})

I hope this information helps.
