Hello,
I am trying to introduce a help system in my QlikView-Documents.
In best case the enduser should be able to open Help-Popups with short descriptions by hovering over the displayed elements.
Even for every value-type or column-description in a table a help message should popup on hover.
First I want to ask if its possible to show popupmessages in QlikView (per macro) and if its possible to get the text, which a popup contains, by reading it out of a (text-)file.
Best Regards,
JanUlrich
Hi ,
Instead of writing it into each charts you can create one notepad file and define variable for each chart/object. and write help document against each variable. you can include this notepad file in qlikview document and after relaod it will show the updated data. for each chart you need to write once and assign corrosponding variables
Hope this will help.
Hi,
You dont need any macro for this. You can go to Properties---->Caption----> At right bottom yopu can see help. You can write help text here and it will show as pop up when u click on ? sign on object.
Thank you Vijay Singh,
this helps, but not completely solves the problem.
I dont want to manually edit the help text for each field. I want to get the text for each popup out of a central file.
Many Users can edit this file and create topics and help texts to the charts in the QlikView-Documents. If there is a way to read data out of a file and show it in a dialog or popup, please tell me.
If this doesnt work: there maybe could be other ways to implement a help system in the qvw-files. For example by replacing the QlikView help (the F1 help) with a personal help-file/text.
Can anyone give me some information about this?
