Dynamic thumbnail on access point

Hi All,

Can we have dynamic thumbnail on qvw over the access point?

My requirement is to show Lock image if you do not have access to that QVW else normal image?

Is there a way i can write a exp like if(access is there, select Normal image, select lock image)

I guess this is not possible negatively in qv. one alternate possible way could be be - modifying the java script associated with the accesspoint/index.htm or such page in the server (perhaps - C:\Program Files\QlikView\Web\js\accessPoint.js). However, that would require an expertise in that area.

Normally, the thumbnails are only displayed for users who have access to the document. Users without access do not get the thumbnail at all.

Hi Amit,

It is not possible to override the existing functionality.

Thanks Jagan for your help,

Is there a way i can show something on the qvw in the access point so that user can understand he does not have the access.

Actually i have one common security profile and i've leveraged the same profile by putting some extra where condition in my script, now user can see the document as his name is there in AD group(all my qvw are exposed to that AD group) but when user tries to open the QVW it says you can not open the doc(Because of some extra where condition).

Is there something you can suggest me so that user can interpret that he does not have access before opening it?

As this is causing lots of trouble to users as every time they say we can not open the dashboard and I have to dig there security profile and tell them u r not suppose to see that dashboard(then they say why i'm seeing it on the access point at first place)

Hi,

If you assign access to users in QMC along with Section Access then the Dashboard is not visible for those users who do not have access.  Not sure but you can try.

Hello Amit,

Each of your dashboards (.qvw files) should have an URL. One alternative is to create a previous custom webpage (or maybe a Sharepoint site or whatever you use in your company) with every .qvw link.

If the user is not a member of the AD group he/she will recieve a HTTP 404 error (page not found). You could catch that error through an .HTML file with a custom error message.

Hope it helps,

Regards,

Ariel
