Remove Green Indicator on Tabs

raajaswin — Wed, 26 Sep 2018 08:08:28 GMT

Hi all,

I found lots of threads regarding this and all unanswered and even very old so reopening it . I need to remove that green indicator on Tabs. Please Suggest any ways,, macros, extensions, any idea is fine

Note:

I cannot hide the selected field in that sheet as that is an important filter.

Thanks in advance,

Aswin

Place your Listbox with selection inside a Container. And then delete the listbox!

hope this helps

Hide the tabrow altogether. Use buttons or text objects to emulate a menu that users can click on to navigate through the document.

Yeah tried this idea.. It seems working but I have 14 sheets and many many filters in each.. It is great pain doing such customization. still very good idea to follow if there is no other way

User Prefers Tabs. We have 10+ sheets

As it will auto Scroll to the selected sheet and there is inbuilt arrows to navigate it also. These features wont be snappy if we achieve it by buttons

It depends, we have large applications with 20+ sheets and the navigation via linked text objects with the tabrow completely hidden works quite fluently. Also because using those buttons to scroll can make users get lost.

True. Let me try that also

Small confusion in performance aspect. I have a simple Button (having an 'set variable' action with if condition) to display list of Pages. when I click that button my charts in the whole page gets loaded again, which is annoying for users. though there is no link between that button and charts why do my charts load. Is this qlikview's default nature?

Why don't you use the built-in action "Activate Sheet"? All the sheets can exist in your QVW, just that they are not exposed to the user. A set of textboxes or buttons can provide the look and feel of a website with no impact in performance and very small impact to maintenance.

I am using Activate sheet Actions only. I have linked Text objects in all pages which have active sheet actions. there is no problem in performance or maintenance.But sue to Space Constraint. We built a Menu button to display those Text objects. So in this Menu Button am using an if to set variable and.. conditional show on all those Text objects. The scenario I explained in the previous comment is for this Menu button.. When I click it , instead of just showing the Text objects , all other objects(Charts) also gets loaded( seems to go away and appear again.).

Do those objects have any calculation condition or show condition?

I don't see how this should be any different to display the tabrow, visibility of the objects should remain the same with and without tabrow, unless it was something already happening before.

Yes those objects have show conditions. But those have no relationship with my Menu button

Apologies!. I know its bad reading such big explanations. Still if you find time go ahead

I think I am confusing you a bit. Let me state it clearly. Leave about those green dots also.

Now I have hidden all Tabs. That part is over. No issues. I have 10 Sheets in my application. In all 10 sheets I have 10 linked Text boxes in each, which just have active sheet Actions. That part is also over which is working perfectly. Now those 10 Text boxes should be displayed only when I click a button(say Menu). When I click back it should go again, Like a drop down. Show I created a button which has 'Set variable' Action if(variable=1,0,1). And all those 10 Text boxes have conditional show as variable=1. Am in Sheet 1 now. I have 4 charts which also has conditional show as Period='Days'. Where Period field is on open selected as Days. Now when I click Menu button now. those 10 Text boxes appears. The problem is when I click Menu button 4 charts in that page also gets refreshed. so the 10 Text boxes appears after this delay only. My doubt is When there is no impact between my Menu button and Charts why it is also getting refreshed.

The QlikView client is asynchronous, so you can expect some delay, indeed, because heavier objects may take a little bit longer to render but lighter objects may display instantly. Since in QlikView part of the rendering job is done in the client but most is done in the server, the faster or less congested the server is, the faster the objects will render.

Likewise, the faster the browser / laptop is on the client the lower that difference between objects will be.

In your case it seems that the show condition is calculated every time you click on those text objects/menu, which could explain, based on the above, why those charts are recalculated or refreshed. However, for this to happen, there must be either an explicit condition based on those menus, or a trigger on a field or variable OnChange or OnSelect.

If this is not what is happening, a sample QVW where we can reproduce the issue will help.

think it is a natural behaviour that after each changed selection or changed variable, the dataset is re-calculated.

Yeah Really Helpful. Thanks for a neat Explanation. But there is no Trigger on that particular variable. Let me try replicating the scenario in a sample app

Thanks Peter. So irrespective of the link between the selected object and the dataset, the whole dataset is re-calculated?.
