Input box not saving variable value on Web Version

Hi everyone. I have done some searching of the forums, but can't find anything specific about this issue.

I am trying to set up some reporting. The users need to add custom text to the report. Things like: 'in this period we see blah blah blah'.

I thought I could add an input box in the various sections of the app and then create a text object that I can put in the report. It all worked great in the desktop version, but when doing it from the web, I cannot save the text. When you move off the control it resets the text to its original value. I have tested from a normal user account and an admin account.

Any ideas?

regards

Shane

Hi, what are you use IEPlugin or FULL Browser?

to solve the problem you do a qlikview trigger? or a macro?

Thanks for your quick reply.

Full browser version.

Not sure what you mean by using a trigger or macro. How would this solve the problem?

Hi, i think you can resolve using macro

----------------------------------------------------------------------

sub InputMail

Mail = trim(InputBox("Enter Source Group Name","Valor por defecto","xxxx))

end sub

//that code create a variable MACRO , that have the text that the user enter at the input box

---------------------------------------------------------------------

put this sub in edit module (ctrl +m) and call this sub using a buton

you would save a variable mail that contain the value that the user put in the input box , and that would be the value that you will use in yours reportin as a variable.

Thanks. I tested using my admin account by opening using IE plugin, and I could then save the text. So this looks like the right solution. However, when I tried this from a user machine and account, I did not have the option to open using the ie plugin. Any idea why that might be?

Thanks Again. I have looked at the access point web page in IE, but I do not see any option to download the plugin.

I have found the option in the Qlikview Management Console to show the download link for the plugin.

System\Setup\Web Server\Accesspoint\ bottom option.

Thanks Fernando!
