Pass selection in qliksense web url

[nehasaxena]

Hi All,

Is it possible to pass selections in Qliksense through web url?

I found something in Help.

Syntax: Base URL + selection in single field

http://<machinename | servername>/{virtual proxy}/sense/app/{appid}/sheet/{sheetid}/state/analysis/select/{field}/{value1;value2}

But this is not working for me.

Please let me know if anyone get success in this.

BR,

Neha

Hello Neha,

I used the following URL and it works: SENSESERVER/sense/app/456942a2-d3e2-40a5-bad6-985e80294f05/sheet/2c6000a4-44a4-49aa-9590-f111e880bda9/state/analysis/select/Dim1/B/select/Dim2/c;d

Thanks. This also works for me now. I was using brackets. Didn't know it will work without using any braces.

Hi All,

In case this helps anybody ....

My Data had a backslash ( / ) and the above method failed there. After some try, I identified that you could include the selection in square brackets to make it work. For Ex, if your field name is KPI and possible selection could be KM/H., then your URL should be ....../select/KPI/[KM/H]

Thanks & Regards,

Hi Neha,
Can you share the
var prefix =
var config =
and the require.config part please?

As per the documentation, i have followed each and every part. Not sure where i am going wrong.
appreciate your help.
Thanks

Late response to the thread but I finally found out the correct syntax for "escaping" field values, which is square brackets. The "share" button on more recent sense versions is an easy way to get the syntax right. Anyway my example was a numeric field converted to text field, which requires brackets.

If the load script looks like

NoConcatenate
tmp1:
load 1 as NumericField AutoGenerate 1;
load 2 as NumericField AutoGenerate 1;
load 3 as NumericField AutoGenerate 1;


NoConcatenate
tmp2:
load text(NumericField) as [TextField]
Resident tmp1;
;

 

then you can pass selections on the numeric field without brackets. But on TextField the brackets are needed, as e.g. in

..../state/analysis/options/clearselections/select/TextField/[1]/select/NumericField/[1];[2]

where semicolon is used to separate multiple values in the same field.

Hope it saves someone else some time.

What if my Dimensions and Values have spaces?
