Hello all,
do you know how to make a specific year (for me it's 2020) as a default when opening the app?
I still want to have year filters though.
Thank you in advance,
Ioanna
Try using default bookmark as explained here:
@ioannagr If you are using Qlik Sense 2020 version (Feb-Apr-Jun) you can use sheet actions and make the sheet to be opened with a specific selection of value (or values) per field, see more here:
Eli.
@ioannagr Just 2 different methods - but both will give you the same result 🙂
Maybe the Bookmarks method is a more intuitive method, Anyway I prefer sheet actions.
I'm doing the same on different apps deployed on our company.
The best way to do that today, if you are using Qlik Sense February 2020 (or most recent) is to work with Actions.
In addition you can also use something like Year(Today()) (or a variable on the script) so when you switch to 2021 there is nothing to do, current year will be always based on the real current year without any change to do on the qlik sense app.
See an example attached.
Hi @er77 , thanks for your input. Adding variable Year(Today()) to the script though means that no selections for other years will be available in filters in app right? I mean everything will be loaded for just Year(Today()).
absolutely not; variable will help to apply a default filter but if you add a filter pane on the sheet with the Year dimension you are able to select a different year.
I see. I want the most obvious and friendly way for the user though, one that would understand at once how it works without further explanation 🤔 !
I'm on the same situation with my users, then if you follow my suggestion your users will be happy.
they will land on the sheet with a default filter applied on the year dimension, then from a filter pane on the screen they are free to change the selected year
