Including help text boxes for the user

Mon, 22 Oct 2012 10:26:03 GMT

Hello,

I have a lot of different lists on one qlikview sheet and it may be a bit confusing for the user. So I want to include something like a "help text possibility" where the user can click on and get advice.

What possibilities does QlikView offer in that case?

I imagine adding a questionmark beside the list name and by clicking it a popup opens or something like a drop-down text box.

I saw one example here from bikashdebnath "show & hide": http://community.qlik.com/message/124108#124108

The text seems static and I want it more dynamic.

Is it possible to create an extra file with all help texts and so if I click on "questionmark 1" I see "ExampleText1" and if I click on "questionmark 2" I see a "ExampleText2" in this same textbox?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Alex

The little help icon, top right, in this app is quite neat:

Thank you very much "Facundo de la cal" and "Johannes Sunden"!

That's what I looked for.

And you are right Johannes. The help icon in this app is really neat and the app is really interesting too
