macro - open url

Hello,

Is there a macro method to open url with no plugin?

In the "Open URL" action i cant insert parameters to the url.

Thanks.

Use the "Launch" Action

You can use an expression for the URL so that you can pass parameters:

variable vThread: 146508

URL: ='http://community.qlik.com/thread/' & vThread

Hi Gysbert,

I am sorry if I am asking you the same question but wanted to get myself clear with concept. Please

I have created a variable as follow in a qvs file and reloaded the app and in the variable overview I see the following variable definition correctly. (link I used is just an example which I took from your answer)

let vThread= 'http://community.qlik.com/thread/146508

When I created an chart with expression : =$(vThread) it is not working. But when I created a variable like in your answer it is working perfectly fine.

variable vThread: 146508

URL: ='http://community.qlik.com/thread/' & vThread

Wanted to know the reason for the variable I created not working. Please

Also, can you suggest me anything for the follow scenario:

I have around 25 qvw's which have a chart expression with same URL . Now, the link for accessing that content changed. So, I have to change the URL in all qvw's. Do, I have to go and change the URL in all qvw's one by one or is there an easy way to change the URL in all qvw's at once?

Thanks
