Sheet and Document Layout

Hi,

I am trying to devide my QlikView Document into 3 sections(Columns) so I can use the left side for filtering and the other two sections to the right for showing charts and objects.

Not sure how to do that

I appreciate any help.

Use visual cues like the size, shape, position, color, etc. along with consistency of your sheet objects to define what will look like 3 sections (Columns). Its not quite the same as doing, say Web Design where you create 'place holders' as positions, so you have to do a semi slide of hand to make it appear with as though it is in effect.

Hope that helps.

I put a qvw file that is a crude demonstration of how to set up place holders for visual cues by manipulating sheet properties and objects. You just need to basically adjust the 'General' and 'Layout' tabs in the properties of the sheet and/or object to achieve what you are trying to do. If you don't know how to manipulate all the different aspects of those settings, I'd suggest either looking at the tutorial/training videos that Qlikview has made public and/or just look at the relevant areas in the Reference Manual - also, the 'Help' button is a great resource if you don't recognize something.

You will have to expand on the "dimension of a qlikview document" because I'm not clear as to what you are referring.

Hope that helps.

Hey autopilot,

I have exactly the same requirement. I want a template wich should be divided into three parts : left side for filters, center for charts and objects and top for tabs. I am unable to open your qvw file as I am using a personal edition. Is there any other way I can see the file other than the repair option. Or can you provide me a source where I can read stuff abou this.

thanks.

The sample looks great.

How can I determine if my dashboard will fit into I pad?

What are the dimenssions I should have and where could I set them.

Thanks for your help

I just found some image samples that can be used to split the layout

C:\Program Files\QlikView\Examples\Developer Toolkit\backgrounds\with panels

I guess that would help.

In regards to setting the dimensions on the development for the ipad, I'd use the same approach.

Meaning, I'd do trial and error with the layout of the 'frames' (or look up something comparable) until you know at what point the ipad will cut off the field of view.

By doing that, you can then size your 'frames' accordingly so that you know in development with your objects, etc. not to exceed that line/color which you setup as a visual cue of your maximum limit i.e. dimension.

udayshankark,

while i know that there are a lot of resources out there generally, i don't know off hand which best to point you.

But, I can take a screen shot of the images of the two sheets in the qvw file and post them if you think that would help. There is no script so you wouldn't be missing anything there, but the only place that would suffer slightly is the simple ability to explore the properties settings of the objects. I summarized them in screen shots on the second sheet of the two, so if you are okay with that then I'd be glad to post them.
