FROM ACCESS POINT OPEN A APPLICATION

SELECT ANY THING WHICH YOU WANT TO BE BOOKMARK

THEN RIGHT CLICK ON SHEET

ADD BOOKMARK -> NAME YOUR BOOKMARK

NOW CLEAR SELECTION AND

GOTO BOOKMARKS DROPDOWN AVAILABLE SELECT IT WILL SHOW YOUR BOOKMARK

HOPE THIS HELPS

Hi Sunil, thanks for response

Creating bookmark in server that should be done by macro.

how can i do it ?

Thanks in advance.

To add and remove bookmarks users can do it from access point itself.

But you can also make a bookmark object in your application which will also give you advance functionalities.

Also replace bookmark will be available.

Why, you want to do it using macro, we have bookmark control available out of the box in Qlikview. Don't use macro for it.

Hi,

Why i am using macro is , we are providing the options for user to select the current filter as bookmarks or not through button click.

So by using macro only able to provide user friendly to create bookmark.

Thanks in advance.

Macro will degrade your overall application performance, so don't use macro. When any user opens application in browser then on the top there will be a toolbar which has the bookmark control, using which user can create bookmarks.

hi,

Actually in my current app, already 2 bookmarks will be created before itself.

Now the user can Replace the bookmarks by his own selections , the process you mentioned we can't tell to the User bcoz it is more work to do,

it is better to provide to the User directly 2 buttons for 2 bookmarks then he can easily replace the existed bookmarks with new selections.

I provided previous actions in button that was not working in Server but works in Desktop app.

first button : Action : Replace Bookmark : BM01

second button : Action : Replace Bookmark : BM02

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Replacing a document bookmark means changes in the QVW file which is not allowed through server i.e. any file open on server regardless of the access method (Plugin, Ajax, Qlikview desktop etc).

You can do changes only which are user specific which are saved in the qvw.shared file.

This is the reason you are able to replace the bookmark in the desktop but not in access point.

I am afraid that you will need to change your approach to get this done.

Rather then replacing the bookmarks, you can create new bokkmark made by user and replace the action in the button which applied the bookmark to the new bookmark.

or, as I had earlier said, you can train your users to use bookmark object or bookmark control which can be a long term solution and will give more flexibility to users and users will not be limited to 2 bookmarks only, and user will be having access to original bookmarks as well as new bookmarks they create.

It is very easy to use bookmark object as well as bookmark control both.
