Adding to Master Items from Data Load

[pgrenier]

Good morning,

I very much like this new approach of having access to Master Items for ease of reuse during app development in Qlik Sense. Like many, I am a great fan of creating variables in order to store complex expressions, or even simple ones, thus simplifying their reuse within a QlikView document.

Knowing this, one might understand that I currently use a sort of externally maintained expression library that gets loaded as variables at the same time the document's data gets refreshed. So, loading expressions into variables, I've pretty much got that covered, and I'm also quite sure I could reuse the same approach in Sense.

But now, knowing that this Master Items feature exists, I am curious to figure out how I could transform my current approach into "automagically" creating Master Items rather than a bunch of variable. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance for your time, regards,

Philippe

Michael,

When do you anticipate this functionality will be available?

"Currently "expressions" and the name given to them defined in Master Items CANNOT be referenced in another defined Measure / Dimension. This will improve over time."
