I am a Qlikview newbie and while understanding - Inherited, Default and User Specific State(Example StateA). Here is a qvw displaying the difference between each of the above.</p>
Step1- Adding New States to a qvw.

Step2: Place the sheet in StateB

Step3: Create Identical Charts in "Inheritted State", "Default State" and a specific user defined StateA and StateB.
The chart in "Inherited State" behaves similar to Chart in explicit StateB since it gets inherits StateB from the sheet properties while default state is an independent State and StateA is an independent state too. Attched qvw for reference.
