Hello @saileshkush95

Detail page button is disabled (more precisely: not present at all) by default. That is, unless you add explicitly AjaxDatatableView.render_row_tools_column_def() to column_defs in your AjaxDatatableView. If you did, try to remove it.

To add a checkbox for bulk task, you could try something similar to the snippet below, where an "Edit" button is added to each table row for demonstration purposes.

This code is part of the example project: https://github.com/morlandi/django-ajax-datatable/blob/master/example/frontend/ajax_datatable_views.py

and published on the demo site:

http://django-ajax-datatable-demo.brainstorm.it/tracks/

class ArtistAjaxDatatableView(AjaxDatatableView):

    model = Artist
    code = 'artist'
    title = _('Artist')
    initial_order = [["name", "asc"], ]
    length_menu = [[10, 20, 50, 100, -1], [10, 20, 50, 100, 'all']]
    search_values_separator = '+'
    show_date_filters = False

    column_defs = [
        AjaxDatatableView.render_row_tools_column_def(),
        {'name': 'pk', 'visible': False, },
        {'name': 'name', 'visible': True, },
        {'name': 'edit', 'title': 'Edit', 'searchable': False, 'orderable': False, },
    ]

    def customize_row(self, row, obj):
        row['edit'] = """
            <a href="#" class="btn btn-info btn-edit"
               onclick="var id=this.closest('tr').id.substr(4); alert('Editing Artist: ' + id); return false;">
               Edit
            </a>
        """
