Clear all input box data when user hits Clear button

Mon, 16 Sep 2013 17:52:21 GMT

Hello All,

I have a dashboard where I am accepting some values from users in input boxes and filtering the data using those values. But when user hits clear button in Qlikview, it only clears the applied filters but the entered values in input boxes remain as it is. I was wondering if there is a way (may be a trigger/condition) to clear the input boxes as well when user hits the clear button.

I tried implementing the method from this video: Clear All Document Event in QlikView - YouTube

But somehow it is not working as expected. The input boxes clear out when I make my first selection after clearing all the filters.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Aniket

Take a look at the example here:

Test_Input_Field.zip

It contains a macro that shows you how to clear input field.

Open the .qvw file, press Ctrl+M (Edit module window opens) and then search the "ResetInputField" sub.

Is there a way to achieve this in Qlik Sense ?. I want to clear all the text in the input box with a button or other way.
