How to use QFieldSelections() API in Mashup

sarfaraz_sheikh — Mon, 04 Nov 2019 06:55:16 GMT

Dear Folks,

Can you please help regarding How to use Below API in Mashup as i saw there is no example given in Qlik help site for these API.

QFieldSelections()

what i want to achieve is if i select any customer then it should set in one variable same as we do in Qlik like below.

vSelectedCustomer=GetFieldSelections([Customer Name);

Now we can achieve these in mashup as i am new to web technologies and my knowledge is very limited into CSS HTML and Javascript. Help would be much appreciated.

Cheers

Sarfaraz

Hi @sarfaraz_sheikh ,

I would suggest you to use `createGenericObject` https://help.qlik.com/en-US/sense-developer/September2019/Subsystems/APIs/Content/Sense_ClientAPIs/CapabilityAPIs/AppAPI/createGenericObject-method.htm ex:

app.createGenericObject({ user: { qStringExpression: "=GetFieldSelections([Customer Name])" });

The selectionState method doesn't have a field filter

I hope this helps

Hi AAZ, Thanks for your reply. Its new learning for me .

Can i put generic object into variable like below. Also i did not understand these Sentence "The selectionState method doesn't have a field filter"

var vSelectedCustomer=app.createGenericObject({ user: { qStringExpression: "=GetFieldSelections([Customer Name])" });

What i want to achieve is ..I have created 2 web pages one for IT department and second one is for HR department ....if user select any customer from [customer name] field and if selected user belongs to IT department then IT department web page will be visible ..similarly for HR department as well.

IT and HR these two values in one field called "Department"..So i want to put selected "Customer Name's department into variable so that i can switch on respective web page accordingly.

Cheers
