pre-populate cell filters?

[John]

 

I'd like to create a grid that has certain filters already populated. For example:

 

http://codepen.io/vrmerlin/pen/bVadML

 

I would like to have the word "ACTIVE" in the State column's filter value. The user can then edit if desired (or add other filters).  I can't figure out how to do that. any suggestions?

 

Thanks,

John

Hello John,

I would suggest using a DataSource instance and setting up an initial filter option.
