What’s new in GravityView DataTables Layout 3.14.0

Version 3.14.0 · Oct 8, 2026 Latest

ImprovedScreen reader navigation, with the table's entries now identified as a named region, as in GravityView's other layouts.
ImprovedDate Filter Type setting in the View editor, which is now hidden rather than dimmed when processing is set to Ajax (server-side), so keyboard users can't reach it.
FixedViews with the "Hide View data until search is performed" setting enabled still showed entries before a search, including in client-side processing mode.
FixedIssues with the Search Bar widget's Clear button: After a search field was changed, the button switched to "Reset" but cleared the entire form and reloaded the results instead of restoring the values the page loaded with, as it does in GravityView's other layouts; Clearing removed a field's default value instead of restoring it; Clearing left fields using the Radio input type with no option selected instead of "All", and kept the selected link highlighted in fields using the Links input type.
FixedA table could display another table's search results when the same View was embedded more than once on a page (requires GravityView [TBC] or newer).
NewDataTables templates now fire the `gk/gravityview/template/entries/before` and `gk/gravityview/template/entries/after` actions around the table, as GravityView's other layouts do.
ImprovedOn GravityView versions that provide the `/refresh` endpoint, tables now load their rows through it instead of a separate request, and the `gravityview/datatables/output` filter is applied to those rows as well.

What it does

Gravity Forms collects entries well, but showing hundreds of records on the front end can turn into a long, hard to scan list. This extension gives GravityView a DataTables layout, so entries appear in a table with sortable columns, a live search bar and pagination. Visitors can narrow results or reorder them by a field, and the table adapts to smaller screens so it stays readable on phones and tablets.

The layout works inside the GravityView View editor and uses the same data sources as GravityView's other layouts. You can choose processing options such as server-side Ajax, use the Search Bar widget, hide View data until someone runs a search, and export table data for reporting or backups. It also includes screen reader support, with the entries marked as a named region, and developers get template actions and an output filter for custom work.

Features

Column sorting

Visitors can click a column to order entries by that field, which makes it easier to find specific records in a long table of form submissions.

Live search

A search bar filters table contents as people type, so they can narrow a large set of entries down to the rows they need.

Pagination for large tables

Long lists of entries are split into pages, keeping each view of the table manageable for visitors browsing many records.

Responsive table display

Tables adjust to different screen sizes so entries remain readable and usable on desktop, tablet and mobile devices.

Customizable layouts

You can adjust the look of your tables so they match the branding and style of the rest of your site.

Data export

Table data can be exported, which is handy for building reports or keeping a backup copy of your entries.

Search Bar widget support

The table works with GravityView's Search Bar widget, including a Clear button and the option to hide entries until a search is performed.

Accessibility and developer hooks

Entries are identified as a named region for screen readers, and templates fire before and after actions plus an output filter for customization.
