Attribute Dropdown in AccessPoint

a_mullick — Mon, 26 Jan 2026 18:19:17 GMT

Hi,

I've just been experimenting with setting Attributes on published QlikView Documents.

The attribute I added shows up when I 'View Details' as expected. I can also search for the attribute.

However, when I try and select the attribute from the drop-down selection box, it does not do anything i.e. it does not filter the list of applications in the same was as selecting a document category does.

This behaviour feels a bit 'buggy' - otherwise what is the point of the dropdown box - but I've searched the support pages and haven't found anything.

Has anybody else experienced this?

The build we're using: QV12-30-SR2/9 (November 2018)

Many thanks,

Azam

Hi @a_mullick,

I created 3 new Attributes for 3 separate QVWs I had reload/distribution tasks previously configured for in QMC > Documents > Source Documents > .QVW > Task > Document Information tab. I then ran the reload/distribution tasks and opened AccessPoint.

So all 3 of the newly created attributes are listed in the Attributes drop-down menu. I'm running QlikView April 2020 SR4, so doesn't seem to be a bug as it wasn't reproducible.

Best Regards

Hi,

Thanks for your reply, Chip.

Can you just confirm the action when you select one of the attributes please? I also see the attribute I created in the drop-down, but my issue is when I select it nothing happens.

Best wishes,

Azam

Hi @a_mullick,

Yes, clicking the drop-down attribute works for me and displays the expected QVW when I click it.

Best Regards

Hi,

Thanks for confirming.

I should have checked this earlier, but it appears to be a browser-related issue. I am using Firefox 78.8.0esr (64-bit), but have just tried it in Google Chrome Version 90.0.4430.85 (64-bit) and it works as expected.

Attribute dropdown working

Ah, glad to hear Chrome is working for you. FYI, the QV version 12.30 (November 2018) sunsets for support end of this month - Qlik Sense, QlikView, and NPrinting End of Support Date

Best Regards
