Conditionally show accordion items in Sense?

Mon, 06 Apr 2015 16:26:04 GMT

Hi Everyone,

I'm working on a new extension for a custom visualization, and I can't find anything on this in the documentation. Is there a way to conditionally show items on the accordion panel during editing? For example, in a standard visualization, if you go into Appearance>Colors and Legend>Colors, and toggle it to "Custom", new items appear underneath. Then if you pick another item in the dropdown, more options appear.. I want to do the same thing, basically. I would ideally have a dropdown that conditionally exposes either a text box for expression entry, or a color picker. I already know about accessing the values of each item, so once I get it set up I already have the rest of the code in place.

Let me know if you have any solutions!

Thanks!

Hi Samuel,

You should have a look at Toolbar extension example (shipped with QlikSense); in the code you can see a method called show :

fixed : { 
     ref : "field.fixed", 
     label : "Use field", 
     type : "string", 
     defaultValue : "", 
     show : function(data) { 
          return data.field && data.field.show && !data.field.list; 
     } 
},

...and I think you can use it for solving your problem.
