Clear selection for calender object

sridhar_sigired — Sun, 06 Dec 2015 14:19:18 GMT

Hi,

1. I created a calendar object, user can able to select dates FROM and TO. I need to clear those dates with CLEAR ALL button. What exactly i need to apply the action to clear the selections in calendar object?

2. I have list box to select the TIME ZONE by user, which i have placed on home page. This time zone selection reflect data on all objects on other Sheets. However whenever i am clicking CLEAR ALL button on other seats, this TIMEZONE selection on home page getting deselect. How can i avoid this problem. I put a CLEAR ALL object just beside this TIMEZONE list box on home page, i need to deselect TIMEZONEs only when i click on this button just beside of this. Can i do it anyway? I tried to use alternate states, but confused.

Thanks for your time.

Sridhar.

1) I would think that calendar should be deselecting when you click clear button. Are you using field or variables to select the two dates?

2) I think you would only have one TIMEZONE selected at one given time. If this is true, why don't you select the 'Always One Selected Value' option so that it doesn't clear TIMEZONE and always have one value selected.

Create your own clear button (you can make it a bit larger than the default ajax button, very comfortable for your end-users), add the necessary Clear actions (Clear Field, Clear All or whatever) and add two actions to reset the variables that control your calendar selection process.

Hi Sunny,

Yes you are correct. User has to select one time zone before he start looking at the dashborad and it should not be cleared even he click on clear all button.

Here i am using multibox, not a listbox. Can you please tell me, can we exlude this object from clearall selections?

Hi Peter,

Can we exclude any object (Multibox) selection from clearall button to not clear? Whereas based on this object selection all data is filtering.

Thanks.

Hi Sridhar,

If you are using variable for creating calender object. Then

Go to to action --> select set variable--> write the variable name in variable text box without '=' sign.
