Qlik Sense integration/API - Same object (with same object ID) but different values/filters

timmy — Fri, 13 Aug 2021 18:53:11 GMT

Hi All,

I want to make a webpage based on one single app. On that specific app, I have an object (with object ID "KcGgdmk") that I want to show multiple times but every time with different filters ("Selectionvalues").

Below, you can find a working code but I used a workaround with 2 different virtual proxies. This is not a best practice way of integrating (I think 😁) one object with different filter values.

Who has experience with this?
What is the best practice approach in this situation?

Code results (working with diff. virtual proxies):

/*
* Basic responsive mashup template
* @owner Enter you name here (xxx)
*/
/*
* Fill in host and port for Qlik engine
*/
var prefix = window.location.pathname.substr( 0, window.location.pathname.toLowerCase().lastIndexOf( "/extensions" ) + 1 );
var config2 = {
host: window.location.hostname,
prefix: "/gsm/",
port: window.location.port,
isSecure: window.location.protocol === "https:"
};
require.config( {
baseUrl: ( config2.isSecure ? "https://" : "http://" ) + config2.host + (config2.port ? ":" + config2.port : "") + config2.prefix + "resources"
} );

require( ["js/qlik"], function ( qlik ) {
qlik.on( "error", function ( error ) {
$( '#popupText' ).append( error.message + "<br>" );
$( '#popup' ).fadeIn( 1000 );
} );
$( "#closePopup" ).click( function () {
$( '#popup' ).hide();
} );

//callbacks -- inserted here --
//open apps -- inserted here --
var app = qlik.openApp('4e901674-7c28-420c-aef8-d7487f0cbf96', config2);

//get objects -- inserted here --
app.getObject('QV01','KcGgdmk');
app.field('ID').clear
app.field('ID').selectValues(["WO_02"]);
app.field('Filter').selectValues(["Aalst"]);
app.field('ID','Benchmark').clear
app.field('ID','Benchmark').selectValues(["WO_02"]);
app.field('Filter','Benchmark').selectValues(["Antwerpen"]);
//create cubes and lists -- inserted here --

var config1 = {
host: window.location.hostname,
prefix: "/gsm2/",
port: window.location.port,
isSecure: window.location.protocol === "https:"
};

require.config( {
baseUrl: ( config1.isSecure ? "https://" : "http://" ) + config1.host + (config1.port ? ":" + config1.port : "") + config1.prefix + "resources"
} );

//callbacks -- inserted here --
//open apps -- inserted here --
var app2 = qlik.openApp('4e901674-7c28-420c-aef8-d7487f0cbf96', config1);
//get objects -- inserted here --
app2.getObject('QV02','KcGgdmk');
app2.field('ID').clear
app2.field('Filter').clear
app2.field('ID').selectValues(["WO_02"]);
app2.field('Filter').selectValues(["Aalst"]);
app2.field('ID','Benchmark').clear
app2.field('Filter','Benchmark').clear
app2.field('ID','Benchmark').selectValues(["WO_02"]);
app2.field('Filter','Benchmark').selectValues(["Antwerpen"]);
//create cubes and lists -- inserted here --

} );

Try with alternate states. You would need to copy your object and connect the copies to alternate states. You can then make different selections in the different selection states.

Hi Erik,

Thanks for your reply.
What technique would you recommend to copy the object (via api)?

Try with the visualization API: https://help.qlik.com/en-US/sense-developer/September2020/Subsystems/APIs/Content/Sense_ClientAPIs/CapabilityAPIs/VisualizationAPI/VisualizationAPI.htm
