Launch new Document, Remember Selections

[#1]

Hi Folks

I would like to launch a new qlikview document from within another document, but I want to retain all of the field selections between the two documents.

Anybody have any ideas on how I would do that?

Cheers,

Nigel.

It could be possible using a Macro, but I never saw an example of this. QlikView 9 will certainly offer this functionality without using macro's.

It is possible to remember selection by creating a bookmark by macro. Another macro will recalls this bookmark and delete it.
A nuance - in a simialr situation I had to check on open if this bookmark exists and remove it, because sometimes it stayed there because of an unrelated QV crash...

Hello Nigel,

I have done this by passing values through a 'qvp' pseudo-URL for named fields. It uses a hidden button that has its parameters changed based on the current selection for the named field.

If you are interested I have demo qvws which show the process (an 'initiator' and an 'invoked')

Hi Michael

Interesting solution!

I thought bookmarks were stored against a document, that being the case, how do I load the bookmark in the new document?

Do you happen to know what happens if the new document is not the same layout, doesn't contain the same sheets, but does contain the same data and quite a few of the same variables.

Nigel,

I misunderstood the requirement, thought it's in the same document. If go with the bookmarks, I'd try include expot/import on the macro. Never done this though.

Hello Nigel,

You need to edit the subroutine 'PrepMachCust' to define the location of the invoked document 'invoked.qvw'

..and here is the invoked.qvw

This functionnality will be available natively in QV 9.
