How to enable Alternative Dimensions and/or Measures in an Extension ?

gchampion — Fri, 25 Mar 2016 16:13:08 GMT

I want to know if it is possible now to enable Alternative Dimension and Measure in an extension vizualisation ?

If yes, how we manage that in the properties panel and if there is something else to do.

I can't see anything in the documentation Qlik Sense 2.2 for Developpers on that.

I succeed to display alternative dimension/measure menu in edit mode chaging definition like that :

definition: {

type: "items",

component: "accordion",

items: {

data: {

       uses: "data",

       dimensions: {

            uses: "dimensions",

            min: 1,

            max: 1

       },

       measures: {

            uses: "measures",

            min: 1,

            max: 5

       }

},

sorting: {

uses: "sorting"

},

after parameter alternative dimension in non EDIT mode Explore menu tooltip didn't appear, I found how to activate it adding this :

me.snapshot = {

canTakeSnapshot : true

};

me.softDefinition = {

canShowExploreMenu : true

};

It works but nothing appear in the Explore menu. For the moment I didn't find how to make it work completly :

Feel free to help me to answer my open point

definition:{
			type:"items",
			component:"accordion",
			items:{
				data:{
					uses:"data"
				}
				// prop
				/*dimension:{
					uses:"dimensions",
					min:0,
					max:0
				},
				/*measure:{
					uses:"measures",
					min:1,
					max:1
				}*/
			}
		},
		support: {
			snapshot: false,
			export: false,
			exportData: false
		},
		softDefinition : {
		  canShowExploreMenu : true
		},

I found a way like this but had same problem as you did still cannot find the alternate dimension to switch to

Hello all,

I faced the same problem when I tried to develop my own extension. Did you already solve this problem? If yes, then how?

Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

Hi @gchampion , @ajaykakkar93 , @Junru you have to define softDefinition property in the same way as you did for data property

definition: { type: "items", component: "accordion", items: { data: { uses: "data", items: { dimensions: { items: { "nullSuppression": {} }, min:1, max:1 }, measures: { min:1, max:1 } } }, } }, support: { snapshot: true, export: true, exportData: true }, softDefinition : { type: "items", component: "accordion", items: { data: { uses: "data" } } },
