 * Hi.
 * Does the plugin allow to specify the default filter value ?
 * For instance, if I take the Demo example from [https://wpdatatables.com/documentation/table-examples/cryptocurrencies-rank-table/](https://wpdatatables.com/documentation/table-examples/cryptocurrencies-rank-table/)
 * how can I tell the plugin to show just the default “Name” value is Bitcoin for
   instance ?
 * Thank you.

 * Hello there.
 * Thank you for reaching out to us.
 * You can add a predefined filtering value in the column settings, under the “Filtering”
   tab.
 * We hope that helps, but please let us know if there’s anything else we can do
   to help.
 * Kind regards.

 * Great – thank you.
 * Just another short question in relation to the above explanation.
 * Is it possible to predefine an “empty” table (the table that doesn’t show anything)
   until something is selected from the select box ?
