QlikView Lock Selection

Anonymous — Wed, 25 Nov 2020 16:16:04 GMT

Hi All,

I have a trigger set on my sheet which automatically selects a field when opening the sheet.

Trigger Action: Select in Field

Field: Source

Search String: Car

I want to be able to lock this field including the search string no matter what selections are made on this sheet.

Is this possible?

Thanks.

Add a Lock Field action after the Select in Field action.

I've tried this but it doesn't work.

How do I enter the field and the search string - ie: Source = 'Car'

Which does not work 0 the select or the lock? the two actions work for me.

The select in field works a treat but the lock doesn't work.

If I clear the selections the field and search string that I want to lock down disappears.

Lock applies to the current selection in that field. That's why you make the selection for Source and then Lock Source.

I have the trigger set to make the source selection when opening the sheet including the search string of "Car" then I want to lock it down.

Trigger Action: Select in Field

Field: Source

Search String: Car

Trigger Action: Lock Field

Field: Source

This doesn't work for me - what am I doing wrong?
