New touch screen mode on QlikCloud

All,

May I know what below is?

Found it on QlikCloud today:

Found one peculiar thing. If you disable touch screen mode and then hover over any bars in a bar chart, the tooltip pops up automatically instead of actually having to "Qlik" on the individual bar.

I believe this is the "fix" for the mouse over problems experienced when Qlik Sense tries to auto-detect touch devices. This control allows you to override the auto-detect.

This automatic popup is the expected and desired behavior for non-touch devices.  Problem is that some devices, especially newer laptops, report that they are touch capable even when the user is not using them in touch mode.  The new control allows for finer control.

Is there any way to do this on Qlik Sense server / Qlik Sense desktop?

New features tend to arrive in Cloud first.  So my guess is that this feature will be included in the next server/desktop release.

Thanks, that's nice to know.

Another relevant topic I found:

Which basically says: the only option for now is to deactivate the touch screen on your laptop.

Thanks for sharing my other post Casper.

I blogged on the new feature on Qlik Cloud a little while back:

I'm very pleased to report that this feature is now present and correct in the full September 2018 releases for both Enterprise and Desktop.

No more do I need to see a "Load More" button.

Hi Steve,

I am so happy we can finally disable it, that "Load more" button isn't going to be missed.

We can also disable it in mashups:

Have a nice day!
