How do I access the design feature in QlikView ?

Hi All,

I seem to remember seeing someone accessing a context menu with design attributes and settings, by right-clicking on a sheet object. I've tried right-clicking on a straight table object but there is no option for design.

Did I just imagine this or is there a way of setting the background colour of a particular column heading cell in a straight table ?

Are you talking about Custom format Cell, then

Settings -> User Preference -> Always Show Menu Items

Hi, Maureen Vickers.

You can activate in Settings->User Preferences-> Always Show Menu Items like exemplified by settu.periyasamy‌.

The next step is:

  1. Select straigh table;
  2. Right-click in headcell;
  3. Click in Custom Format Cell.
