Display button if searched string not found

Hi,

thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.

I’m not sure that I understand. Where exactly do you want this, and which filtering do you use?

Hi,

Thank you for the quick response,

I want an action to be made if the search returns no record,
so i thought if there is a button that can be displayed i can link it to an action.

i have an example in the following page,
https://it.turksey.com/portal-test/

if you click the “Book an Appointment” button it displays a calendar,
I want the button to be displayed only if there is no record found .

is this possible ?

Thanks and Regards,

Hi,

unfortunately, I don’t know a solution to that, sorry. You will likely need some custom JavaScript implementation for this.

Hi,

Ok , I have another question if i may,

Is it possible to display search result only after pressing enter key , instead of instant search?
And is it possible to trigger a script after that ?

Hi,

you could try checking the approach from https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/i-want-the-table-to-be-invisible-until-filter-is-applied/#post-4272342 for this. If you modify the JS code, you should be able to call other JS code as well.

I will try that for sure,
