Lots of people are using our Data Table plugin to create large tables with a huge amount of rows. Sometimes it may cause problems with loading such a big table.
Therefore, we have added new option to manage the issue with large data sets. Our Data Table plugin is using server-side processing technology.
Data is uploaded by request by little parts, and search and sorting functions processing is fulfilled on a server.
This option has increased overall speed of big tables loading up to 80 %, what makes huge data tables even more accessible.
A table without server-side processing with thousands rows would typically require 3-4 minutes for loading. Let’s see how it performs with server-side processing enabled. Just try to filter or sort the table.
| Number | Price | Quantity | Total Cost | Weight | Serial | Year |
|---|
In order to create Large table with server-side processing:
- On the left navigation menu click “Add new table”.
- Enter the name of table and choose the number of rows and columns.
- Click “Save” button.
- Open “Editor” tab in the table parameters.
- Add data to the table. Most likely, you’d like to import such a large amount of data from a single file, so, we’ll need to use the “Import” button
- Choose your file and wait for it to be imported.
- Open “Settings” tab.
- Select checkbox with Server-Side Processing in Pagination menu of Settings.
- Set other table properties and settings.
