Hi,

regarding your question.

Qlikview standard solution do not have the functionality to write comments against your data in the dashboard.
There is no such functionality where you can enrich your dasboards with notes or comments and store them somewhere on the disk.

You can try to use some scripting via macro to achieve it or even better to write a small extension.

What I did for my company is to write a kind of commentary qlikview extension with a server part (Webapi .NET) and a client part (the extension itself).
With this extension people can generate their extension for their dasboards with the prefered fields (date field, text field, checkboxes, drop down) depending on the requirements and you can integrate it in the dasboard. Additionaly to generic comments you can also add some specific comments to specific data fields in the data model, this means when you select a specific value in the dashboard, you can apply the comment directly to this field value.

Unfortunately the macro solution has some limitation in that sense...

Hi Chandrasekar,

One other thing that you could consider is using the the "Notes" functionality in Qlikview. You can use this feature to write comments on charts/objects and specific selections. I'm not sure if that is sufficient for what you are looking - or if you actually need it to write back to the database. If it's simply a matter of writing notes on an entire chart basis then you can use Notes. See below (with IE Plugin):

To create a note you need to right click on the chart you are looking to write a note on -- and then click add new note...

Thanks,

Camile

Hi Camile,

I have a question regarding dashboard notes saving that where these notes will save, in database, or in qlikview dashboard file.
