Open QlikView Document on Dimension Selection

Mon, 23 Mar 2015 09:27:57 GMT

HI,

I have a graph with an X-Axis of 'Days'. At them moment I have an OpenQlikview Document action running off a button click. What I would like to do is when the user clicks a 'Day' dimension within the graph - this opens Document 2 with the day selection made.

Thanks for your help.

Tom

Try:

Field Event Trigger->On Select->Open QlikView Document, check 'Transfer State'

Hi, I have tried this but it doesn't seem to work. I've attached the two sample apps. The button 'Link' in Source1 is working. But I need to allow the user to select a Day in the Graph and open Source2.

Any help appreciated.

so the button should work only if one day is selected?

why don't you hide the button if not only one day is selected using conditional show?

Hi, Id rather not use a button at all. I need to allow the user to pick a Day dimension in the graph and open Source2 based on the day selected.

The field or variable trigger does not work as you have already figured ut.

Looks like the button is the only option
