Playing with Extensions in Sense

[Michael_Tarallo]

As you know, extensions provide additional functionality that extend the capability of many products. QlikView has this capability, so it only makes sense to have it in Qlik Sense too - no pun intended.

I'd like to point out that Extensions are not limited to just visualizations. You can implement other types of functionality, including those available from the Qlik Sense API. (This will become more relative when the Qlik Sense Server is released later this year. See the ToolBar extension to see a simple example of this.)

If you want to check out the current example extensions that are available with Sense you can perform the following steps:

1. Go to C:\Users\<user>\Documents\Qlik\Examples\Extensions
2. Copy the complete folder of the extension you want to C:\Users\<user>\Documents\Qlik\Sense\Extensions
3. Restart Desktop

So for example - if you want to use the PeopleChart:

Take the complete folder from C:\Users\<user>\Documents\Qlik\Examples\Extensions

Copy to it to:

C:\Users\<user>\Documents\Qlik\Sense\Extensions

After Desktop starts, go to the design interface in an app:

Use as you would by adding measures and dimensions

Enjoy!

Hi,

I need a favor.

I need to create an extension for Qliksense, i select three fields with one selected data and this extension shows my the first characters of this three fields one selected data. Also it sends this extension data value to a variable.

For example:

Name   Surname             Middle Name

Tankut  Kocabaş               Işık

Ahmet   Ayaz                    Kazım

I choose Tankut for the first selection, Ayaz fort he second selection and Işık fort he third selection.

This extension shows me TAI and sends it to a variable called NSM that created in my qvf file.

Thanks for the help
