Displaying a master dimension in Qlik Sense App

[laurentpaume]

Hi Qlik Devs,

I am currently working on my new extension and I am not finding the solution to create a master dimension and display it into my Sense app.

Here is the code to create the master dimension (tested in Engine Api Explorer) :

{
  "handle": 1,
  "method": "CreateDimension",
  "params": {
  "qProp": {
  "qInfo": {
  "qId": "Dimension21",
  "qType": "Dimension"
  },
  "qDim": {
  "qGrouping": 0,
  "qFieldDefs": [
  "LBL_STORE"
  ],
  "qFieldLabels": [
  "Store"
  ]
  },
  "qMetaDef": {}
  }
  }
}

It returns me the following response :

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 9,
  "result": {
  "qReturn": {
  "qType": "GenericDimension",
  "qHandle": 4,
  "qGenericType": "Dimension",
  "qGenericId": "72fa4096-c176-48dd-b71d-d8c0c9f74d0c"
  },
  "qInfo": {
  "qId": "72fa4096-c176-48dd-b71d-d8c0c9f74d0c",
  "qType": "Dimension"
  }
  },
  "change": [
  4
  ]
}

At this point when I get back to my app, I don't find the Master Dimension.

I don't know if I have to create an Hypercube to show this in my app or if I'm missing something.

Thanks for your help !

Regards,

Laurent.

Beasy.

Hi Laurent,

It feels weird, but have you tried  "qType": "dimension" intead of "qType": "Dimension" , that works for me, for some reason.

Completely Crazy, yes Aiham, it works but in a strange manner ...

I get an empty name for the dimension ... I will try to find why this afternoon.

Thanks a lot.

Ok everything's fine now :

This is the correct way of creating a dimension in QlikSense using the API :

{ 
  "handle": 1,
  "method": "CreateDimension",
  "params": {
  "qProp": {
  "qInfo": {
  "qId": "Dimension21",
  "qType": "dimension"
  },
  "qDim": {
  "qGrouping": 0,
  "qFieldDefs": [
  "LBL_STORE"
  ],
  "qFieldLabels": [
  "Store"
  ]
  },
  "qMetaDef": { "title": "Store Title goes here !"}
  }
  }
}
