Locking data on filter pane

mnemecek — Mon, 25 Feb 2019 16:09:45 GMT

I want to have the item name dimension on my filter pane locked for each individual sheet on my dashboard as a different item name.

I tried to do this using the "Locking and Unlocking Selections" page provided by Qlik, but there were no steps on how to actually lock the selected data.

(https://help.qlik.com/en-US/sense/February2019/Subsystems/Hub/Content/Sense_Hub/Selections/SelectionsToolbar/lock-unlock-selections.htm?_ga=2.46781473.701114362.1551104540-1084938041.1540493914)

Can someone help me with the steps for how to lock a selection in the filter pane?

The locking you mention is on the UI side i.e. when a user is exploring the data and wants to lock a selection.

Scenario you mentioned i.e. 1 item name for each tab. i think you will need extensions.

Fairly certain the vizlib filter will help with this.

Not sure about any free ones

How would I lock the data from the UI side? I don't want to add extensions to my dashboard.

What i tried to convey is this.
this lock is not used for development

but only by end users i.e. once app is published and during a session
Once selection is made user can lock the selection to that any further selections dont remove it. see circled below
