Self Service BI - drag and drop

Mon, 07 Mar 2016 15:32:12 GMT

Hi Guys,

I have inherited few dashboards (among other things ;)) when taking over QlikView env. I am fairly new to QlikView and until now I worked with NPrinting based 'dashboards' exclusively.

Because of requests I got I am trying to figure out an easy way to enable users to create 'drag and drop' reports (through QlikView Server web interface). We already have a 'report-creator' kind of dashboard, but it is hellishly complex and adding new dimensions or metrics will not be easy.

End result would be - a dashboard accessed through 'Access Point' with predefined datasource, but no predefined layout (or a table that the users can easily modify).

I know I can build a predefined set of reports and they can reorder the columns. But is there a way for the users to drag dimensions from repository to existing grids? Or something like that?

Thank you,

Tom

Hi Tom, this sounds it would be easier with QlikSense than with Qlikview. I'm afraid as far as I know, that what you want it's not possible (or at least not easy) to do it on Qlikview.

Hope it helps.

That what I was afraid of. I will look into QlikSense Enterprise - version 2.2 seems to bring a lot on the table. Will try ot update once I will evaluate it. Thanks!
