You can use this option provided by dataTable itself using buttons  dom   Bfrtip    buttons           selectAll          selectNone       Here is a sample code var tableFaculty       tableFaculty   DataTable        quot columns quot                           data  function  row  type  set                    return                                       data   quot NAME quot               quot columnDefs quot                           orderable  false              className   select-checkbox               targets  0                      select            style   multi           selector   td first-child             dom   Bfrtip       buttons             selectAll            selectNone              quot order quot     0   desc

The solution given by  annoyingmouse works for me  But to use the checkbox in the header cell  I also had to fix select dataTables css  It seems that they used    table dataTable tbody th select-checkbox  instead of    table dataTable thead th select-checkbox  So I had to add this to my css   table dataTable thead th select-checkbox     position  relative    table dataTable thead th select-checkbox before  table dataTable thead th select-checkbox after     display  block    position  absolute    top  1 2em    left  50     width  12px    height  12px    box-sizing  border-box    table dataTable tbody td select-checkbox before  table dataTable thead th select-checkbox before     content         margin-top  -6px    margin-left  -6px    border  1px solid black    border-radius  3px

Base on Francisco Daniel s answer I modified some of the Jquery code here s My version  I removed some excess code and use  fa  instead of  far  for the icon  I also remove the  far fa-minus-square  since I can t understand its purpose   -- Edited --  I added the  draw  event for the button icon to update whenever the table is redrawn or reloaded  Because I noticed when I tried to reload the table using  myTable ajax reload    the button icon is not changing   https   codepen io john-kenneth-larbo pen zXeYpz   x000D   x000D    document  ready function     x000D      let myTable
