Show hidden objects in report

Hello

I am working on a Qlikview app which is iPad compatible. This means that a lot of objects (mainly graphs) are hidden by default (by setting a 'show on condition' value) and these are activated through buttons.

The problem is that in the reports i have made for printing, the graphs are also hidden by default. Now it is not possible to get everything visible in the report because certain graphs are never visible at the same time in the app.

Is it possible for reports to ignore the hide/show status of objects? or is there another method to achieve this?

ps. I don't want to make a separate worksheet were I duplicate each and every graph and disable the 'show on condition' value, because this will have a big effect on the performance of the app in terms of size and speed etc.

Thanks

Peter,

The easiest is to use the solution which you don't want.  The alternative is to try a button with actions "enable show condition - print - hide".  I'm not sure if it works but worth testing.  If you do the same in macro, it will work for sure.  I guess you cannot use macros...

thanks for your answer.

But if there is not a more simple solution then we are probably going to work with two different applications

1: compatible for i-pad (unfit for printing)

2: for the pc (fit for printing)

Peter,

I'm working on a report today as well.  Tried if actions work.  Created a chart (table), added to the report, saved.  Chart has show condition, variable Print=1.

Added a button with actions:
1 - Set variable Print to 1 (shows chart)

2 - Print Report

3 - Set variable Print to 0 (hides chart)

It works, even in the Web View.  So, it maybe acceptable in your case.

Regards,

Michael
