the best way show several variable

[Anonymous]

Hi folks,

I have a request to show many variables for filter, but I'm limited in space.

If use a multi box, it doesn't show your selections.

Please help with an idea.

Cheers,

I read your question wrong.  If you are short on space, one thing I recommend is using variables to show/hide your list boxes.  I created a post about this on my blog.  See http://intuiqlik.com/

You can use Container Object and add these list boxes in Container...

Another was is

Create LB1 and LB2 buttons

also create two variable vLB1 and vLB2

Now Add an action for LB1 button..

Add >> External >> Set Variable

Variable = vLB1

Value = if(vLB1 = 1,0,1)

Now for half of the list box use Layout conditional show vLB1 = 0

Same way use for LB2 add action on vLB2 as if(vLB2 = 0,1,0)

Now for half of the list box use Layout conditional show vLB1 = 1

there are a few ways to do this depending on your UI.

you could hide/show them if a text box is clicked on.

also, having a current selections box somewhere will help with what selections have been made, especially if you start hiding some filters!

I think I need to add (find space for) selections box.

Because there is no way how to show them.

Some clients don't have some variables, if use separate boxes or tables.

I like the container idea. it looks nice in WebView. disadvantage is you can't see what is selected

Thanks,

I've seen some nice examples where selection list boxes are shown and hidden on demand.  A number of list boxes are placed in front of a text box, to group them logically (you will need to use the Layer setting on the Layout tab for this).  By setting the border, selection style, transparency and font settings on list boxes you can get a style like the image you posted.  By then doing a show/hide butting you can make these selections appear only when you need them.

For examples of show/hide you can see this example document:

Hope that helps,
