how to make a particular chart read only in qliksense

[jayati_shrivast]

Hi, In QlikView there's an option to make a chart read-only by going to the Properties > Security. Is there a similar feature in Qlik Sense?

I have a various charts in my dashboard which changes based on filter. But also say for example a bar graph, if a click on a single bar it gets selected and all the other charts in dashboard changes according to that selected field value in the bar. i want to make all my charts read only and they should get changed only when any value from filter is selected. is it possible to implement in qliksense?

No read only feature as yet. With the most recent versions of Sense, you can make use of alternate states. Define the chart expressions to use an alternate state and add a {1} set expression to ignore all selections. Clicking on the chart should not change the chart, and as nothing is using the same alternate state, nothing else will be affected either.

VizLib charts have settings to make read-only, if you have license for it.

@stevejoyce Not having license of Vizlib, can this be done via native chart options.

Only like Jonathan mentioned.  But you have to handle the selections bar not displaying other states because it's not really applicable, it's a workaround and becomes tricky.

You can create hidden fields, same as your regular dimensions to use in your read-only chart, so it doesn't display in selection bar.  And keep this read-only alt state clear of selections so it doesn't impact selection bar.
