Display value in current selection box

[#1]

Dear All,

Suppose I have a column named TX_Status

I use a list box named Availability

when I make a selection,

The current selection will show TX_Status,

It's unacceptable by user, because they cannot locate which list box they had selected, by knowing the field name.

(TX_Status --> Availability )

how can I make it display The Label rather than the original field name?

Hi

You can Rename TX_Status to Availability in script itself, then use tat in filters.

Like

Load

TX_Status AS Availability,

TX_Status

..

Hi,

It depends wether you want to rename the field in your script or just rename your list box.

Do you have a proper label field in your field or is it only a code ?

[Gysbert_Wassenaar]

You can't. The current selections box can only show field names, not labels you set in other objects. Either you rename your fields so your users can understand what they are looking at or you can create your own custom current selections box using for example the getcurrentselections() function in a text box.

Can you explain how exactly you can build a custom current selections box? But not for a specific field but on the random selections of the user

Hi,

I've created an example of a custom Current Selection box in this document:

http://community.qlik.com/docs/DOC-4290

The actual current selections box is a standard QlikView one - but there is a text box which can be configured however you want, that is used to show and hide the standard current selections.  This has the advantage of having enough space in the current selections box to see all selections, and a compact view of selections at all times.

Just to add also, I agree with the original answer on this thread - that you should rename all fields in your load scripts to be the names you want to show your users.
