Creating a hyperlink

Hi Community

I want to create a hyperlink on my dashboard. On clicking that link, it should take me to another tab in my qvw file. How to do this?

Smriti,

We call this feature as document chaining. Attached an example. in button or text box properties, select action tab, external -> open qlikview document. under document hardcode the path of the qlikview document.

Document chaining opens another QVW.

If you want to navigate to another tab in the current document, you can add a Layout | Activate Sheet action to a text box or to a button. You can make the text box look like a hyperlink by formatting it to your requirement.

If you want to do this in a table, with hyperlinks in a column of the table, then I don't think that is possible. You can add true hyperlinks (links to other documents), but you cannot fire a row specific action.

Hi,

Create one button/text object->Properties->Actions->Add<new>->Action Type->Layout->Activate Sheet->sheet ID

For every sheet there will be sheet id, in order to get that sheet properties->General<tab>Sheet ID

so that on clicking on the button we can navigate to another sheet as required
