Adding URL-link in a Qlik Sense App

Mon, 18 Jan 2016 00:50:40 GMT

Hi All,

I have a requirement to add URL-link in a Qlik Sense App. I am aware to add it via a Text and Image object. But I want to add it in the areas 1 or area 2 circled with red in the App and publish it across all the apps in Qlik Sense.

Kindly suggest if it is possible to add the URL-link in the specified areas shown in the screenshot.

Thanks,

Kshitij

I don't think you can do this in a Qlik Sense App - but you could do either option in a MashUp.

Thanks for your reply Andrew.

Can you please give some more information regarding mashup. I have no idea how to proceed and work on mashup's.

Thanks,

I am just learning them myself!

You create them through the "Workbench" - simple MashUps are just drag and drop.

Have a look here: Qlik Sense - The Developer Hub (video) (the Workbench was originally call The Developer Hub)

Hi Kshitij,

Its possible if you develop an extension. The header of every sheet is a DIV and hence if you append a button which has a href tag and set CSS to the button as Float:Left you should be able to achieve it.

Thanks and Regards,

Thanks Sangram for your reply. I will work on it as suggested by you. It would be of great help if you could share some links or some example for the same as i am not very confident in extension etc.

Hi Sangram,

I have a small query:

After we develop the extension, how will we position the button developed from the chart's section in QlikSense in the area 1 or 2 as specified in the screenshot below:

For eg: For the default "Hello World" extension given in QlikSense I tried to move it to the specified area but i was unable to do it.

Awaiting your favorable response.

Thanks and Regards,

Kshitij

Hi Kshitij,

I got it! I would do it this way.

I would not have any visual in the extension display. I will just drag and drop the extension on to the canvas and push it to one corner. It would just occupy one square in the sheet.

Now what this is would do is, get he sheet id and append a button with css properties as float:left to the title of the sheet and in this way it would work. All of this can be done through Javascipt.

Let me know if you need help developing it.

Thanks and Regards,

Sangram

Hi Kshitij,

Use this in your paint function in a extension to create a button.

function Title_button() {

var btn = document.createElement("Button");

btn.id = "Cbutton";

btn.

var t = document.createTextNode("Button");

btn.appendChild(t);

document.getElementById("sheet-title").appendChild(btn);

}

Title_button();

Using css you can style this button and place it to the right corner using Float:Left property.

Hope this helps!

Thnaks,

Sangram.

Hi Sangram,

Thanks for your valuable response. I have attached my extension with this post. I am unable to place the button on the designated areas.

Could you please have a look into it and let me know the changes to be made (or if possible you can make the changes).

Thanks and Regards,

Kshitij

Worked absolutely fine for me. I had to open a new link in the button though and I have added some extra lines of code to it.

Thanks a lot Sangram for all your help. Really appreciate it.

Reddys310‌ Just a quick question. If the button being used can be moved to the extreme right hand side in the dashboard.

Also I need one more modification in the button. I want to add a menu in the button when we click it or when we place a mouse over it a drop down menu should be displayed.

I am attaching my files . can you please have a look and try to modify it. All the items in the dropdown should be hyperlink.

Something like this is required now :

Awaiting your favorable response.

Cheers!!!!

Hi Kshitij,

I think taking the button of is totally possible. But I would not recommend to do that as you will be curtailing the default Qlik functionality.

Yes your extension is totally possible. I have an extension built for an other thread in the community, check this extesnion, here you will be able to navigate through sheets by clicking on an image.

Thanks,

Sangram

Hi Sangram,

I have already gone through your last thread before posting my query again. The button that we developed needs to have a different functionality when the app is running live. When we click the button it should display a drop down list having a menu containing 3 items and all the items should be a hyperlink. Need your help in developing it.

The attachment is there in my previous post.

Appreciate your help.

Thanks and Regards,

Kshitij
