Save table columns for each user

Is there a way to save the columns shown in the table builder for each user. I am using quite a large table and sometimes some users don't need all the columns. What would be a good way to save the columns individually for each user?

Yes, I know about this functionality and it is active, but once you go away from the page the settings are lost, so I was thinking maybe there is a way to save those settings.

    protected function shouldPersistTableColumnSearchInSession(): bool
    {
        return true;
    }
    protected function shouldPersistTableFiltersInSession(): bool
    {
        return true;
    }
    protected function shouldPersistTableSearchInSession(): bool
    {
        return true;
    }
    protected function shouldPersistTableSortInSession(): bool
    {
        return true;
    }

Thanks, that should do the trick for now! Any way to make these persistent?

toeknee•16mo ago

you mean to all resources? If so not that I know of

cioriciOP•16mo ago

even for each resource, these are stored into the session so the second day these settings are lost. I was thinking maybe there is a way to store them into cookies or something so they are saved for longer periods.

Not as far as I am aware. You could look at putting them into user preferences table or something. But they are indeed session based.

Might be a bit overkill for just saving toggled columns but #filter-sets allows users to save stuff like toggled columns into views which are saved in the database. (sorry for the self promotion…just trying to help since you’re looking for more than just persisting to session) https://filamentphp.com/plugins/filter-sets
