Web Document "Close" Button

Mon, 26 Jan 2026 18:19:17 GMT

Hi All,

When you open a document in the accesspoint, in the top right hand corner there is a close button, which does indeed close the document. However it leaves a blank screen with a restore button in place of close. This seems counter-intuiative as a user experience. The expectation is that when a user hits close, they are returned to the accesspoint dashboard to enable them to select another report.

Is there anyway to customise the button to behave in this way?

Thanks,

Hi Bill,

That is indeed very usefull and something I will be implementing in future.

However, what I really want to do is return the user to the main accesspoint dashboard when they click "close", not leave them at a blank screen.

Any ideas on how to do this?

Thanks,

Dhiren

I have exactly the same query. Did you find a way to make the close button take you back the main Access Point main page?

Thanks

This code is not supported and it is server side and is for SR1 of version 11

Open the opendoc.htm with a text editor and search for

window.open ("http://localhost/qlikview","_self") should be around line 107

Change the localhost in the about to the URL for your server.

Place the attached opendoc.htm in the C:\Program Files\QlikView\Server\QlikViewClients\QlikViewAjax and restart your webserver.

Bill,

Well we gave this a try but are unable to get it to work - the close button works as before. I'm wondering if you can suggest anything we can do to track down the problem?

Regards

OK I have investigated a bit further - it was simply that I hadn't cleared my browser cache - once I did that it worked fine .

Thanks

Nick

Do you know how to get this to work in V12.10? new opendoc.htm doesn;t reference the localhost.

I just found that if I placed the following window.open command in the CloseSession function (bold and italicized below), it returns the user back to the documents selection page which is the desired result.

function CloseSession(e) {

document.body.style.background = "";

$('#MainContainer, #Tabrow, #QvAjaxToolbar > ul:last').html("");

$('body > script').nextAll().remove();

qva.Enabled = false;

qva.Ready = function () {};

qva.OnContextMenu = function () { };

qva.SendClose();

// Replace text and event for button

var closebtn = $('#Close');

window.open ("http://qlikview/","_self")

if (closebtn.length) {

Qva.Events.RemoveClickEvent(closebtn);

Qva.Events.AddClickEvent(closebtn, RestoreSession);

closebtn.find('.ctx-menu-text')

.text(closebtn[0].RestoreText || "Restore");

}

If any believes this is wrong or may have some adverse side effects, I welcome the advice.
