Text objects in Container not arranging properly - trying to create a message panel

[avantime]

Hi,

I am trying to create a container to be a kind of message panel in which I have conditional showing text objects.

All fine and dandy until some of the objects meet their conditional showing conditions and disappear, leaving a blank space where they should have been. The messages are not rearranging, their position remains static even when disabled.

Is it possible to have dynamic arrangement of these text objects?

Any other ideas in creating a message panel?

Thank you!

Hi Adam,

I have attached the app with added links.

The message panel will show short notifications to users and by clicking the message, they are moved to a relevant sheet that shows a detailed description of the message with figures, tables and so on.

There are multiple notification messages (right now I have 7, but in the future who knows, maybe 20-30?). I want them stacked one after another, without any gaps between them. In the past I had a chart that showed each expression on one line and when one expression disappeared there was no gap left.

maybe you can try like attached solution. This one is a redesign. instead of text boxes use List box. But I'm bit confused with the link to different sheets. That can be done but it should be one to one. that means if you select one item in a list then it can only take it to one sheet. in your example you have Case field on selection of which shows multiple messages.

This is the desired output indeed. It is ok if one item corresponds to one sheet, but I don`t see how I can set up links in the listbox.

Ok here is your solution. Please take a look. You can make everything data driven.

I already sent the solution. Please take a look at this attachment. You can do it in a list box itself. When you select an items from the list box it will navigate to a sheet.

Hi Catlin,

This would be possible with variables but Sudeepkm's solution is great.

Note the use of a field even trigger rather than links in the list box

Thank you! One more question. Is it possible to use a calculated expression inside the message text? And also, is it possible to change the color of the message (we use color coding for important messages)?

[sudeepkm · Accepted solution]

yeah that's possible. But we can not use a list box anymore as the back ground color can't be controlled. I've attached an example using a straight table where you can find colors per message item. Again it is all data driven so you can control them without having the QVW to be modified only data reload is required.

Just what I wanted. Great job! Thank you for your time!
