How to jump steps when click on back button

Anonymous — Fri, 12 Dec 2014 13:54:45 GMT

Hi all,

I've set a trigger event: when I do a selection in a fieldA, it selects the value in filedB and delete selection in fieldA. So, the user feels to select directly on fieldB. This works fine, but if the user clicks the back button, it goes through every step within the trigger. My purpose is to jump to the situation previous to the selection in fieldA.

Does anyone know how to say to Qlik not to "save" steps in selections stack while trigger goes? Or any trick to solve it...

Thanks in advance.

Marc.

you can store selected data into differnet variables, making it possible to step 'back' by assigning the selection on the specific variable.

so you have for instance 3 steps stored:

selection 1 is in situation 1;

selection 2 is in situation 2;

selection 3 is in situation 3.

situation counter to know in which situation you are looking.

next, if you are in situation 3, and you press [back], you can say: clear field <Fieldname>, select in field <Fieldname>,<Variable 2>. Set variable <situation counter> to <situation counter>-1

this is one way to do it.

Regards,

Dick

Thanks Dick. How can I configure the action in the back button?

Just make a trigger in the textbox/button, and do not use the ' back' function that QV offers.

Thanks Dick but all users are used to the back button. Do you know if the is any way to stop stacking selections while an event is running?

Has someone found a solution to this problem?

Can you use bookmarks? So the triggers activate a bookmark rather than a series of selections.

Hi all and thanks to contribute. Finally, I conclude there is no way to do that.
