How to deal with inputfields on Ajax

Fri, 04 Sep 2015 08:36:44 GMT

Hello,

I'm sorry if this question has been asked before, but I've seen so much information, that I'm a bit confused, so I thought I'd ask here.

I have a table box which looks like this, with a "Comments" input field that one user fills.

Offer Number	Customer	Phone number	Comments
123	A	1234567890	XXXXX

My user accesses the application via Ajax, and would like that his comments not be lost after the application is reloaded everyday. Also, other users should be able to see his comments.

I learned that macros don't work on Ajax, and you should avoid them as much as possible.

What happens if I install the desktop application for my user, and he puts comments? Would they be saved for the next reload and everyone would be able to see them?

Have you ever faced the same problem and found another solution? My users are not very comfortable around computers...

My advice is to use the built-in standard way of creating Notes and Comments for QlikView. Her is a snippet from the online help of QlikView 11.2:

Notes and Comments

Notes and comments can be added to all objects when connected to a QlikView server, allowing users to create and share notes about the current object. Notes are shared with other QlikView users, and these users can respond by leaving their own comments. It is also possible to save a snapshot (bookmark) of the data with each note.

When right-clicking an object, it is possible to add a new note and to view existing notes, by selecting Notes from the context menu. After having selected Add a New Note or View Attached Notes, all objects in the current document with existing notes are supplied with an indication in the top left corner. The number of attached notes for each object is displayed in the indication

Hello,

Thanks for the answer!

I had a look at notes and comments, but my table box can have dozens of lines, so there could be many notes attached to one report, and my user found it confusing and tedious to manage, unfortunately. 😕

Hi,

You can use dynamic data update option, using that you can enter the data and can see in s straight table.

When ever you want reload the dashboard, export from straight table.

Hi,

Thanks!

I've never used dynamic update, so I'm reading up on it, but I don't understand if my user can change a few records, and then save the changes. It looks like I can't send an array to the dynamic update.
