Pass the QlikSense selections from one app to another application

[Correct_Answer]

Hi All,

I have one requirement, needs to show the four application buttons on overview sheet to navigate four different applications based on user selections. But all four apps showing same global filter.

Can any one help me how can I pass the selected filters from overview app to these four different apps.

Regards,

Srinivas K.

Hi, this is available in Qlik Cloud: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2nljL9M_geI

In On-Premise there is a workaround creating your own extension: https://community.qlik.com/t5/Qlik-Sense-Documents/Document-Chaining-in-Qlik-Sense/ta-p/1495402

I'm not sure of the limitations of this workaround if there are a lot of selections, like hundreds of dates.

You can also leverage the App Integration API

create a variable as below

vSelections 

 ='/options/clearselections/select/'&GetCurrentSelections('/select/','/',';',100,)  (with leading equal sign)

Your target URL should then be as below

'https://someHostname.com/design/sense/app/someAppID/sheet/someSheetID/state/analysis'&'$(vSelections)'

Hi, that seems to be great but i would like to understand how the destination app will get the field name where the selected value (in the source app) has to fit in.

Hi, field names should be the same between apps.

Otherwise you'll need to develop the extension or the solution applied to map field names.

Hi, thanks! I'll explain specifically:

I created a button with 2 actions and nevigation:

1. action1: select possible values in a field (REP)

2. action2: clear selection in other fields (which should clear all other fields except REP)

3.  navigation to another app: ='the target URL'&'/select/' & getcurrentselections('/select/','/',';')

when i press the button i can see in the URL that the first action was applied but the second wasn't (it passes the values in field A which i requested to clear in action2).

However when i get back to the source app i can see it filters correct (both actions was applied).

so i assume that the navigation was occured before the action? 

how can i solve it?
