Triggers and Bookmarks...

Hi

Just sharing some newly gained knowledge.

This is noted in QlikView 11.0 SR2, not tested in other versions

I have an app that sets some values in triggers on document action "OnOpen".

I use action "Select in Field"

In a field that has three values (EVM performance, Variance, Performance index) I select the first:

Select in Field: EVM performance

It works as expected, the value EVM performance is set when the application is opened.

I then add a bookmark and then apply the same bookmark.

The same field now instead keeps two selections: EVM performance, Performance index

And as you probably understand, this was not what I expected or wanted.

The bookmark is saved as a "search" bookmark and the search mechanism in the bookmark does not work in the same way as the corresponding trigger search mechanism.

How to fix this?

  1. In the action trigger, enter: Select in Field: ("EVM performance")
  2. Make a manual selection in the field before saving the bookmark, changes the type of bookmark
  3. Export the bookmark, edit the XML file and import it again

I guess that the type of search mechanism to be used (eg "normal", "wildcard", etc) could effect this scenario, but I have not seen that in the tests I have performed...
