get current User selection of Bookmark

[#1]

Hi all,

I have a problem with getting the name of the current bookmark.

is it possible to get the name of the Bookmark wich is selected by User?? Something link getcurrentselection.

either by macro or QlikView area.

I don't believe there is, but what is the purpose of getting the name of the bookmark?

A bookmark is nothing more than a saved collection of current selections and/or layout state; which you can then use the getfieldselections (or similar) to retrieve the values.

If you're wanting to deconstruct a bookmark file, then perhaps look at "exporting" the bookmark first; but from memory you may have to do some hex conversion to get the field values.

Mark,

Try to write some macro in VB script which will provide the name of the current bookmark()

After the User seleceted a bookmark, he starts an export via button. The export is an marco which exports some tables and graphs as png. The graphics get saved in a folder.  In the path of the folder is now the Name of the User like this,

path= 30_QlikView\Username\graphics" instead of Username should stay the name of the selected bookmark.

I found this post looking for some way to get the selected book marks. Reason - I have a report that requires a particular bookmark to be selected, if it isn't then the report is wrong. Instead of worrying about the bookmark I check for the data that the book mark should have found.  Add a calculation condition to the report  eg

sum(if(Status = 'B',[Line Value],

  if(Status = 'U',[Line Value],0)

  )

  ) > 0

If these status are not selected then the value is zero and the condition is not met. Then in error messages for "Calculation condition unfulfilled" the custom message is "Please select  Status "B" and/or "U" or use the Status bookmark".
