Confusion with Text Object in Dashboard vs Report

Hello all,

My apologies if this is a rookie ask, but I seem to be a having some issues with a Qlikview Project that I herited.

Here is the problem. Within the Dashboard there are two Text Objects. Lets say the Texts are TextObj1 and TextObj2 with different Object IDs. Where the issue comes in is when I select the Report option for this the output of the Text Objects reads as TextObj1 and TextObj1. To further diagnose I deleted TextObj2 in the hopes that it would not appear in the Report output, but it still reads TextObj1 and TextObj1.

Has anyone encountered a similar issue? What was the solution?

Regards,

Hollando

I ended up solving this earlier last week. I was using a Dashboard that a collegue of mine had created. Unfortunately, he in his rush in creating a certain report replicated the obejects. When I tempted to change the objects I was met with some complications. So I simply created a new report sheet, plotted the correct objects and the problem was resolved.

So although you use 2 different text objects in the report, when you preview the report only the 1st text object appears in both places?

Do you have a sample app? Version?

Hi Ionnis,

Yes. To further explain there are four text objects in total. So how it appears in the dashboard is like this:

But in the report it appears as:

I tested changing other text objects within the Dashboard and changes seem to flow through to the report.

Sample App? Version?

Not sure what you mean. I have licensed version that my company paid for. My Version is 11.20.12235.0 (64 Bit)

You have 11.20 SR6 installed (Version)

It would be great if you could attach a sample application as I cannot reproduce the issue although I use the same version.

What happens if you remove the objects from the report and then add them again or if you create a new report with these objects?
