Navigation button extension not working

wailengwoo — Sat, 16 Nov 2024 21:51:18 GMT

Hi,

I have installed the latest November 2018 release (with patch 1) for QS Desktop to test some of the new features. I tested the navigation button included in the bundled extension to test navigate to a specific sheet and it doesn't work.

Has anyone tested this? Is this a bug?

Just tested this, seems to work for me.

Could you take a screenshot of your settings for the navigation button? Perhaps an issue with the sheet name?

The setting is quite straightforward, just wondering what else I need to set. Perhaps I need to test it out on the server version

I'm testing it on the Qlik Sense Desktop November 2018 version.

What I did notice just now is that when I added a sheet and then tried adding a button, the new sheet wouldn't show up under the available navigation options.

Perhaps it's an issue like that?

Yeah, newly added sheet doesn't appear in the list unless you close the app and open again. My problem, is that the button has no response at all when it is clicked. Have tried a few navigation options but still the same. Maybe will have better luck on the server version

Have you tried re-creating the button?

And the sheet still exists? (Just to make sure here 😜 )

Hi,

Did you manage to get this to work? I'm having the same issue.

Thanks

Hi,

I'm also having the same issue. When clicked on the Navigation button it is not doing any action. I have selected the Sheet Name to navigate to. But it is not navigating. Can someone please help what to do.

Thanks.

Hi,

I am on November 2018 Patch 2 and I am also having the same problem.

Has anyone worked this out?

Hi,

Finally managed to test it on server version - November 2018 Patch 2 and the navigation button works.

Have stopped figuring why it doesn't work on Desktop version. You will have better luck on the server version.

Sadly my issue exists on the server version.
Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t.
Actions work fine just not navigation options
Will keep trying different scenarios

@wailengwoo it could be that the extension bundle was not included with your desktop install. You can follow the steps in this article https://support.qlik.com/articles/000059485 to see if it was installed and if all of the extension bundle options were enabled.

@Ken_Thomas it is installed and I can use the tabbed container which is part of the bundle, just not the action/navigation button.

I have even upgraded it to November 2018 patch 3 (Desktop) and it still doesn't work. My problem happened on desktop and not server version. But there are users who face problem on server version.

@wailengwoo if you have support contract this sounds like something that you could report via a case. If you have a small sample app with a navigation button you can post here that does not work in your environment, I will be glad to test it and take a look at it as well.

@Ken_Thomas , I have attached a simple test app with 2 navigation and 1 action button for your testing. I imported the app into my testing server environment and it works as expected just not in my own desktop version. I will raise a support case if I encounter this problem at my client's production environment which I don't have at the moment.

@Onyi_Nwabia-Robbins Did you raise a support case since you have this problem at the server version?

Hi @wailengwoo I am working on testing this on the desktop client. I have tested it on the server environment and it worked fine. I am installing desktop this afternoon to see if I can reproduce the behavior. Are you on Feb 2019 base or patch 1?

Re: Navigation button extension not working

wailengwoo — Tue, 16 Apr 2019 09:00:55 GMT

Hi @Ken_Thomas , I am using Desktop November 2018 Patch 3. It worked fine on my server environment which is of the same version

@wailengwoo @Ken_Thomas

Hi Both,

Apologies for the late reply.

I am currently on November 2018 Patch 2.

It has intermittent issues on the server for us, haven't had enough time to do varied level of testing to see if I can find an exact user case when it doesn't work.

My employer just upgraded to the latest version of Qlik Sense Enterprise and the Navigation Button extension in the Dash Board Bundle works for me but not for some of the other developers. In some cases they could never get it to work in others it worked until they started to test out different actions and somewhere along the way it quit.

We have deleted the button, restarted the server, tried different browsers, cleared cache and created new apps from scratch in an effort to correct and identify the issue all to no avail.

It seems once it quits working for someone it just can not be recovered. Has anyone figured this issue out todays date is 5/28/2019 and we have a go not go meeting tomorrow for the production upgrade and while I feel this is not a show stopper it is a big concern since we are doing away with all extensions not included in Qlik's Dashboard Bundle and Visualization Bundle.
