Identifying content of hidden bookmarks

Hi All,

I'm modifying a QlikView application which was created by a colleague who has since left. It uses a number of bookmarks in triggers but I can't see them in the Bookmarks list so I'm guessing they must be hidden.Is there any way of getting a list of all bookmarks and seeing what they contain?

Many thanks!

Elaine

How do you decide that they are bookmarks? Could be - they are alternate states.

There are no hidden bookmarks afaik. Perhaps the colleague created User bookmarks or Personal Server bookmarks. From the help file:

Bookmark Types

The current state of selections can be saved as bookmarks for later use. Bookmarks capture selections in all states defined in a QlikView document. When recalling a bookmark created in version 11 (or later) the selections in all states will be applied. There are different types of bookmarks:

  

Document bookmarksare stored inside the qvw document. They will always be available to whoever opens the document locally or from a QlikView Server.
User bookmarksare stored separately on the user’s computer. They will only be available to the user who created them on the computer where they were created. If the document is moved or renamed all personal bookmarks related to it will be lost.
Personal Server bookmarksare only available when working with a document on QlikView Server and only to authenticated users. They are stored in a repository on the server and are accessible to the user from any computer where authenticated.
Shared Server bookmarksare only available when working with a document on QlikView Server and only to authenticated users. Any user who has created a personal server bookmark may flag this as shared to other users. They will then become available to other users. Just like personal server bookmarks shared server bookmarks are stored in a repository on the server.

Hi,

Thanks for your replies but I’m still puzzled. I’ve assumed they are bookmarks as they are used in a document-opening trigger (Apply Bookmark BM918) and another trigger replaces then creates bookmark BU336. In the Create Bookmark option, there is a field labelled Hidden, which is ticked.

In the designer I’ve removed all the bookmarks that I can see but it still seems to be able to apply the bookmarks mentioned above.
