showing multiple selections made information on Current selection box

Hi Experts,

I have used the standard Current Selection box in the dashboard and as a standard feature the current selection box shows numbers like '7300 of 99000' when more values are selected when clicked to make selections. However, the client is in an assumption that the 7300 of 99000 is a value that is selected rather to interpret as number of selections

Can we display a information bar or a pop up information to show the user that the number like above is the number of selections but not the selection itself.

This message box could be dynamically appear when selections are made.

Thanks heaps.

Shyam

You may conditionally display a text box with whatever message will make this clear to the user.

You may include this either during user training or in the "How To" or "Introduction" or "Help" tab, if you have one.

Hi Shyam,

Qlikview can show upto certain number of values in Current Selection box after that it will give message like this, if you want this to be display you can use GetFieldSelections() in a text object.

Or you can educate user or give information by giving the message in Text object.

Hope this helps you.

Jagan.
