Hello,

For container type "Single object" with appearance "Tabs at top" is it possible to align the name (text) at left/right ?

Thank you,

Hi Maria,

Yes it is possible to align the name (text) at left/right.Go to Properties of container object>>>Presentation tab>>>Appearance >>>select "tabs on the left" or "tabs on the right" from drop down. This will resolve your issue.

Regards

Hi HareKrishna,

Thank you for your reply.

I was not asking about tab appearance. My tabs are at the top and there is where I want them to stay. I try to align the name of these tabs to the left or right.

Maybe the capture below heps.

Regards,

I think that really describes the nature of the problem Maria.

I am also looking for a solution to this problem as well.

To try and clarify for everyone, in design view the tab shows centered text (The intended format) but when it is switched to Web View the Formatting of the text seems to go away and it all left aligns.

Could there be something with the "text formatting" that can be done?

By default they are centered in normal view and when switched to Webview they are aligned to left as Jcamacho said. Since you wanted to align to left or right,anyway in Webview your requirement is met.

I think its not possible in the container tabs with text formatting. By default they are centered in normal view and when switched to Webview they are aligned to left.

So just confirming, we don't think there is anyway to currently change these defaults? I would much prefer that they stay centered. Even in WebView.

Hi HareKrishna,

Yes, you are right. By default in design view the name is centered.

In Webview they go to the left as I need for this exercise.

However, I would need in other cases to align and display the names in webview in either position: left/right/center.

Maria

Hope the Qlikview considers these things while releasing a new version.

I have been thinking about this and really, you could (If a hard requirement) make these buttons or text boxes with actions that hide and show the charts. To do that you'd:

1. Create a text box with the text and style you want

2. Orient it so that it is where you normally have the tabs for your container

3. Create an action that changes a show/hide variable

4. Tie the show conditional of your graph to that option

let me know if this isn't clear. It certainly isn't an ideal solution nor am I certain of the performance trade off to do it this way versus using the container, but it will help you meet a hard requirement.

Hi Jcamacho,

I used the scenario that you listed above in some of my previous projects.

Thank you for taking time to provide it!

However, it is time consuming.

I thought that QlikView might have some option to align tab names. If not now, maybe in a future release.

Maria

I think there is no way to currently change these defaults.
