Document_chaining

datanibbler — Mon, 17 Mar 2014 14:09:00 GMT

Hi,

we have a pyramid-like management structure to be implemented in QlikView.

=> in that context, I want to generate buttons in the "upper-level" apps to open the ones below.

<=> Is there any way to edit the document_chaining_triggers so that the new app is not opened in a new window, but rather in a new instance of QlikView? With a new window opening for every app that is opened, it gets kind of cluttered.

(we have tried to implement a "close document" trigger as well to keep things tidy, but for some reason QlikView got the order in which to execute the triggers wrong: => It opened the document pointed at by a button - and closed it immediately, leaving the original document open...)

Thanks a lot!

Best regards,

DataNibbler

Hi Marcus,

unfortunately, on the clients used here, there is no "QlikView.exe" - users view all the apps in their Web_browser, they don't have QlikView installed. Only the developers and superusers have the client_software.

Is there any other way to either do this or just force one QlikView_app to close when another one is opened?

Thanks a lot!

Best regards,

Hi DataNibbler,

you could try it with the settings - Same Window - from web-server.

If this don't work then you will need an extension. There are the possibility to create a frame with any website. I think another qv-application will work, too. This frame could lay over your upper-level application and you control only the visibility. Have a look on the already available extensions - perhaps there is already some similar extension.
