The value of this option will be passed to the accesskey attribute of the HTML element that underlies the widget.

This option is used when the widget is displayed on a platform whose guidelines include the active state change for widgets.

The following modes are available:

• "instantly"
  Applies changes immediately.

• "onDemand"
  Applies or cancels changes only when this is requested from the API - by calling the applyChanges() or cancelChanges() method or by changing the state object.

It is important for the data source of the PivotGridFieldChooser to be the same as the data source of its PivotGrid widget. This will allow the field chooser to manage data in the pivot grid. Use the PivotGrid's getDataSource method to acquire its data source.

A header filter allows a user to filter individual field's values by including or excluding them from the applied filter. Cicking a header filter icon invokes a popup menu displaying all the unique field values.

Assign true to the allowFiltering option to make the icons visible.

The user's filtering preferences are saved in the filterValues option. The header filter's Select All checkbox changes the filterType option.

This option accepts a value of one of the following types:

• Number
  The height in pixels.

• String
  A CSS-accepted measurement of height. For example, "55px", "80%", "inherit".

• Function
  A function returning either of the above. For example:

  JavaScript

  height: function() {
      return window.innerHeight / 1.5;
  }

The image below shows different layout types.

The following abbreviations are used on the image.

• A — All Fields
• F — Filter Fields
• R — Row Fields
• C — Column Fields
• D — Data Fields

When this option is set to true, the widget text flows from right to left, and the layout of elements is reversed. To switch the entire application/site to the right-to-left representation, assign true to the rtlEnabled field of the object passed to the DevExpress.config(config) method.

DevExpress.config({
    rtlEnabled: true
});

The state includes field configurations, expanded headers, and other settings. The following code shows how to use the state to cancel or apply the settings to the PivotGrid widget:

$(function () {
    var pivotGridDataSource = new DevExpress.data.PivotGridDataSource({
        // ...
    });
    $("#pivotGridContainer").dxPivotGrid({
        dataSource: pivotGridDataSource,
        // ...
    });
    var fieldChooser = $("#fieldChooserContainer").dxPivotGridFieldChooser({
        dataSource: pivotGridDataSource,
        applyChangesMode: "onDemand",
        // ...
    }).dxPivotGridFieldChooser("instance");
    $("#apply").dxButton({
        text: "Apply Changes",
        onClick: function () {
            var state = fieldChooser.option("state");
            pivotGridDataSource.state(state);
        }
    });
    $("#cancel").dxButton({
        text: "Cancel Changes",
        onClick: function () {
            fieldChooser.option("state", pivotGridDataSource.state());
        }
    });
});
