URL to Tab Functionality?

Tue, 04 May 2010 16:42:36 GMT

I'm pretty sure this isn't possible but is there a way for a person to receive a URL which, when they click upon it, takes them to a specific tab in a Qlikview app?

Hi bcolgan85,

If you are deploying QlikView documents using Ajax on the Enterprise server then you can select the sheet by referencing the sheet ID. The sheet ID is found by right clicking the desired tab and viewing the sheet properties. Sheet ID can be found in the top right corner of the properties window. The structure of a typical URL is:

http:\\<server>\qlikview\ajaxzfc\<model name>_ajax\<sheet id>.htm

I hope this helps.

1. Specify a variable, say vTab, in your document

2. When you call your URL, you can set a value to this variable: http:/.myqvserver/text.qvw?vTab=2

3. In your document havea trigger on "Document Open" which will activate the specific tab based on the vTab variable value.

Hope thisgives you an idea. Let me know if you want a sample to refer to.

Hi Rakesh,

This sounds like a good idea but would this not mean that everyone who opens the qvw is directed to this tab? It is only certain users who wish to be taken automatically to the tab.

No, when you save your QV document, make sure to clear this vTab variable. Then set it via URL when user is opening it. This way, variable value is not saved in document. If user coming via URL and if it has a vTab parameter, it will redirect to that tab, otherwise user will see the tab you have saved the document at.

Sure, Enclosed is an example.

Open the qvw directly and see it set to Tab1.

Open with the batch file, and see it set to Tab2. Batch file does the same thing as URL, just setting variable vTab using /v switch.

When calling from URL you just need to send vTab=02 (or any other tab values) as URL parameter.

Hope this helps.

For my AJAX Server Application the following URL Parameter extension

&sheet=SH01

works for me. You have to insert the SheetID that you want to refer to instead of SH01.

You'll find the ID in the sheet properties.

I don't know if this is a documented behaviour, I just ound that by trying around

Semi documented atleast
You can also pre-select values by appending &select=<ObjectId>,<Values> if you like.

Very useful in conjuction with the sheet parameter when you want to transfer context from an external system.

Dear Matthias ,

but what if i have 3 different tabs with conditions on it.

for ex:-

Sheet 1 with variable v1=1 & v2=1

Sheet 2 with variable v1=2 & v2=2

Sheet 3 with variable v1=3 & v2=3

I know that i can pass the values of both the variables in the link but it will only work if those variables are already set.

By default , i cannot set any of the values as it will directly show me that particualr tab.

So now can you please help me.

Dear Rakesh ,

I saw your example and also implemented it but it works for the tabs which are not conditional.

But what if i have 3 different tabs with 3 different conditions on it.

Also the qlikveiw application should be open on the browser and not the thick client (qv.exe)

for ex:-

Sheet 1 with variable v1=1 & v2=1

Sheet 2 with variable v1=2 & v2=2

Sheet 3 with variable v1=3 & v2=3

So how do I do it using batch files.

Request you to please help me.

Regards,
