Bookmarks and Wildcards

A quick question on Bookmarks.....

A user performs a search using a product description, such as *wholesale*, then selects the 20 product descriptions that are returned from sales history. The user then saves this selection as a bookmark. Will that bookmark always select products with *wholesale* in the description or is the bookmark saved with just the specific products that were selected when the bookmark was created? We need it to do the former so that all *wholesale* products are selected by the bookmark regardless of how many of those products may be in the current data set.

Hi,

Do you mean bookmarking a dynamic selection like the idea mentioned here ...

http://qlikviewmaven.blogspot.com/2010/09/bookmarks-for-dynamic-selection.html  ?

e.g. in your example create a search like

=Wildmatch([Product Description],'*Wholesale*')

the Bookmark would apply that search when selected,

Would that help ?,

Otherwise I think the default behaviour on the [Product Description] list box itself is to save the search, if used to make a selection, not the specific data selected,

Regards,

HD
