Go to Script Editor and Click on File and Hidden Script this allows you to create hidden script with password.

you can place all your content here.

Note:

There will be only 1 tab available for Entire hidden Script.

You cannot create multiple tabs in your hidden script section.

Script->File->Create hidden script. This will create a new tab with hidden property; cut-paste the earlier tab script into this new hidden tab (do it for all 10 tabs); delete the tabs without scripts.

A hidden script is a special part of the script, which will be executed before the normal script at each

Reload. The hidden script is protected by a password.

When choosing Edit Hidden Script from the File menu in the Edit Script dialog you will be prompted for a password

Hi Treseco,

Thanks for the reply.Is there any way that I can keep all the tabs the same way as they are as I don't want to put them together in one TAB.Also now what if I want to apply Section Access to it as well.

Thanks

No Way.

There will be only one tab for hidden script.

Hi,

Yes you can, make sure section access is first part of your hidden script followed by other script you brings here from your other tabs.

Hi,

I am doing the same as per your suggestion and it is working for hidden script properly however Section Access is not working as it is not asking the set password when i am opening the script.

Thanks

If you create all the tabs as usual and then export the whole script into one file, you will notice that QlikView actually keeps the code of the various tabs separated. It does this by entering a line at the beginning of each tab section with the tab name after a special ///$ prefix.

Now for the fun part: if you copy-paste into a new blank tab the whole exported script as written by QlikView (i.e. including the tab titles and their special prefix), save it, close it, and reopen it... QlikView automatically recreates those tabs for you.

And this trick of course WORKS ALSO IN THE HIDDEN SCRIPT, so if you put a "multitab" exported code in that single hidden script tab, you save it, close it and reopen it... you have a script with more hidden tabs.

I hope I have been useful to you.
