Keep Filter Selecction between iframes

Rolando_Montero — Sat, 16 Nov 2024 00:48:12 GMT

Hi everyone,

I have some tabs in which I have embedded two iframes, both are sheets from a Qlik Sense app. However, if I make a selection in the first one, the filter does not replicate to the next iframe. Is there any way to keep the selections along the iframes just like a regular Qlik Sense app?

Example with one selection made.

iframe number two does not have any filter applied.

Kindest regards

Hello,

When you move to a different tab/page, the session will be interrupted and selections lost.

You need to enable and increase TTL time in the Engine settings.ini config so that it is able to reattach the session to the existing one.

[Settings 7] EnableTTL=1 SessionTTL=30

Hi Damien,

I changed the file you mentioned, but unfortunately, the problem remains. Is there anything I can try to fix this?

Best regards and thanks for the reply

Hi @Rolando_Montero

Did you make sure to have a blank line at the end of the file as mentioned in this article?

Hi again!

Yes, I did, I left the blank line at the end of the file. Just to make sure, I am going to do it again.

Thanks!

Hi Daniel,

The customer gave me the direct link to the web page they are working on and if I use Safari on a Mac the selections remain even if I move from one tab to another (there are two tabs only); However, if I use Chrome, the selections remain on one iFrame only and are not kept in the second iFrame,

Hello @Rolando_Montero

Do you see "SESSION_ATTACHED" in the browser devtools as stated in https://community.qlik.com/t5/Knowledge-Base/Adjusting-the-Qlik-Sense-Engine-TTL/ta-p/1713815 ?
That would confirm if TTL got enabled correctly.
Also, are you sure that the TTL setting is not getting overwritten by some URL parameters ?

I am not too familiar how Safari handles moves between pages, it could be it doesn't kill the tab immediately.
If the session is still alive in some way in the browser (opened in different browser tab) or a tab not terminated by the browser yet, then it will reattach it by default and keep selections.

Hi again,

I was trying once again, quite a lot of tries actually, but I am unable to get it to work. I have created two scenarios, one with two iFrames placed inside Bootstrap containers and the other just two iFrames one under the other. The result is the same nonetheless, the filters are not kept.

Is there any other option to do this?

Thanks in advance
