Users can create Activity Reports in this CRM</P><P></P><P>My requirement is to show what they have entered for the current day, so i want to use direct discovery.<BR />I Implemented it, and it works. My question is, what is the best way to show texts?</P><P></P><P>If i define the database text field as Dimension, it is not updated via direct discovery.</P><P>If i define it as Detail, i can display the text in a table box, which looks rather strange.</P><P>If i define it as Measure, i don't know how to show this field, because i don't really understand, what expression i should use to display that in a text box for instance.</P><P></P><P>Does anyone have experience in displaying text values via direct discovery?</P><P></P><P>I would appriciate your input!</P><P></P><P>Cheers from Germany,<BR />Fabian</P></BODY></HTML> Fri, 03 Oct 2014 06:57:17 GMT https://community.qlik.com/t5/QlikView/Showing-text-fields-with-direct-discovery/m-p/653505#M437901 fheidenstecker 2014-10-03T06:57:17Z Re: Showing text fields with direct discovery https://community.qlik.com/t5/QlikView/Showing-text-fields-with-direct-discovery/m-p/653506#M437902 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Hi,</P><P></P><P>use a view before attack the table.</P><P></P><P>Regards</P><P></P><P>André</P></BODY></HTML> Fri, 31 Oct 2014 15:53:58 GMT https://community.qlik.com/t5/QlikView/Showing-text-fields-with-direct-discovery/m-p/653506#M437902 agomes1971 2014-10-31T15:53:58Z
