May be use alternate states for these two container objects with some sort of pre-selected selections? Do you think that will work? Would you be able to provide a sample?

It's not quite clear what do you want to do. If you speaks about normal field-selections - they will be independent from the container, maybe the use of one or two selection-triggers or the use of dimension-groups might be useful.

If you want to create any depencies between the container and their active objects you would need macros which usage isn't recommended: Macros are Bad. In such cases is it better not to use container else buttons and/or listboxes to control the visibilities of those objects and other things like selections. But quite often you get the best usability if you could avoid any of such on top logic which often only confused the user without real added value.

See the attached screenshot:

This option will show up once you have created alternate state in your application.

If your chart itself is in that particular alternate state, then you won't have to worry about putting anything in the expression. If the chart is still in Inherited state, then you can specify the state like this -> {StateA <>}

For that I think you need to use the Macros. where in you can set the default chart display

Re: RE:Default selection

sunny_talwar — Tue, 29 Dec 2015 12:05:49 GMT

I agree with Kush, to show a specific chart within the container object, there are no inbuilt QlikView functions as per my knowledge. You might have to use a macro in this case.
