feedback forms

[#1]

I see on the GolfQuest Application (sample downloads) that there is a feedack form embedded into the application. How is this done? Can that information go into a database or is it just an email form?

Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi Raymond,

seeing as the GolfQuest application on the demo site is for the Ajax client you're pretty much free to use any web type code apart from QlikView objects. In other words, you can incorporate any type of form you'd like and send the values either by e-mail or add a record to a database.

Thanks. I'm still not sure how I build it inside Qliview though. Is it an object?

The form itself is not a QlikView object. Think of the page as a box where you can have both QlikView objects as well as any other objects you like. For example forms, images, text etc.

Forms can be added as regular HTML. Here's an example site:

What JSN is saying, the AJAX web forms aren't 100% developed in qlikview. They incorporate other types of compilers. Such as the form is an HTML form compiled by the browser and wouldn't run within qlikview analyzer.

If you want to create a feedback form you could do this. Create input objects within qlikview. Then write a vb macro within qlikview that takes the value of the input object and write it to a file or an excel sheet.

Hope this helps.

I know this does not answer your original question, but what I do for feedback is to create a button with a mailto: url like:

mailto:supportname@somedomain.com?subject=Feedback%20On%20Application%20XYZ

if you are speaking about the feedback sheet in the http://demo.qlik.com/downloads/qvw/golfquest.qvw file this is merely a technique we used to pass the language translation so every object on all pages translated from the application itself. This does not connect to the form itself which is a page made in Ektron which was our content management system at the time when we created this application.

So in short the form is not in QlikView it is actually in Ektron.
