New QlikView Mapping Extensions on QlikMarket

Brian_Munz — Mon, 26 Jan 2026 16:26:21 GMT

EDIT: These extensions are no longer maintained on QlikMarket since that is not an appropriate place for free and unsupported extensions. I've modified the links below to point to the github repositories where I now keep them. Also, since they're now hosted on github, feel free to make contributions to the code.

Hi everyone,

The demand for mapping in QlikView seems to be a hot topic these days, so I’ve put together two extensions that are now available on QlikMarket bearing the QlikView name.

The first one is an extension which uses SVG images to connect to the data and color and shade the regions in that image:

brianwmunz/svgReader-QV11 · GitHub

Similar to this map of US Counties:

There’s no geospatial connection here (long/lat points can’t be plotted, etc.), but it should prove useful for a lot of simple needs and uses for visualization of a geographical entity. It comes prepackaged with 35 or so maps of countries, etc. and also offers the ability to load in your own custom SVGs for things like floor plans, seating charts, etc.

The second extension is a simple geospatial mapping extension similar to the Google Maps and various other extensions you might have seen in community:

brianwmunz/QuickMap-QV11 · GitHub

This extension simply takes geographic data (longitude/latitude points) from QlikView and draws it over a map. It supports the drawing of dots, lines, or polygon shapes. For example:

This doesn’t offer near the capabilities of a server based geospatial mapping solution like ESRI, GeoQlik, Idevio, etc. simply because it’s not server side, but it should be helpful for less heavy and complex mapping needs.

Anyway, I hear a lot about need for mapping so I thought I’d let everyone know.

I am attempting to use this new extension but when I select the US Map I get an Internet Explorer Script Error, with the error Object doesn't support this property or method and displays the URL http://qlikview/QvAjaxZfc/QvsViewClient.aspx?public=only&name=Extensions/svgMap/script.js any idea what the problem might be?

Hi,

What version of IE and QlikView do you have installed? Had you set up any properties yet?

Re: New QlikView Mapping Extensions on QlikMarket

I am using IE 8, and I have Qlikview 11. I have not set up any properties yet.

I’m wondering if whatever default properties are being populated for the extension are causing it to crash. Try setting the first property to your states dimension at least and see if that helps.

Hi Aadil,

Yes, there was a bug with this extension working with QV 10. I’ve fixed it and have submitted the updated extension to QlikMarket. I’ll let you know when it’s up so you can download from there.

Thanks.

Any ideas of how to get this to work I am pretty excited to include it in a new tool that I am building for my team.

Hoo boy. It looks like I left in some old stuff. I'll fix and get the market version updated, then let you know.

Thanks.

Brian, I've been trying to hook these in with some UK SVG's I've found, one for London Boroughs and one for UK Counties - but no luck, the SVG's don't have pretty names that fit into the London Boroughs or Counties but just have 'G12' or path122 .. I don't really understand the structures, so don't know if it is me being stupid or them being overcomplicated! I must admit, I've only just worked out how to work with KML files!

I've enclosed two SVG's I've got and an app's that they should be able to work with .. don't know if anyone fancies having a look at this for me .. I'm stumped at the moment!

Hmm .. not just need to work out how to attach ..

Ok, so done so .. I reckon if I can figure out the London boroughs I can do the regions / counties later ..

With the SVGs the regions in them need to have some sort of proper ID. Otherwise, there's no way to know what those regions are and link them to your data. So, if I have an SVG with the state of Pennsylvania and my dimension has PA, the svg's ID for Pennsylvania needs to be PA.

You can email me these apps/svgs if you want.

Thanks.

I got a new computer and am finally able to use this new map extension. I am attempting to input a map that simply shows which states are selected.

Whenever I put in a color expression it doesnt show up and I have set a dsiabled color as well and while it changes the data to the state I clikced on it doesnt change color to indicate that it has been selected. Any ideas?

Hi,

Are you using the two character abbreviation of the states and passing it into the extension?

Hi Brian,

Is the market version the most up-to-date as I'm having the same problem as lzimmermann above has had? For info. I'm on v10 SR3.

Thanks,

Ralph
