dropdown menu extension

[#1]

When you are using many tab sheets within QlikView your application can easily become unclear and very full. Using standard tab sheets it is not possible to build a hierarchy in your menu.

I have built a dropdown menu extension that allows you to build a hierarchy within your menu and manage multiple tab sheets in a structured way. The menu is easy to install and use, you can configure it from within your QlikView application.

You can find documentation, a sample qvw file and the extension itself at the following location:

Hi All

I have Implemented the Drop down Extension and Changed the CSS. We have been using it for a while without any issues, but now days when you click on a sheet name it opens up a different sheet.

Could you please advice on this.

Regards.

Hi Jaikes,

Does it open some random sheet or does it always open a parent sheet?

In case it's opening parent sheet, you should check these comments:

Is it possible to call another sheet in a different QlikView application.

For Example: I have 2 dashboards, Dashboard1 and Dashboard2

From Dashboard 1, i need to call Dashboard 2 using this extension?

Thanks

Hi All

Is there a way, we can call another QlikView document using this extension.

I understand we can activate different sheets in the same qlikview document.

Can we also achieve calling a different qlikview document using this?

Thanks

Satish

Has anyone tried to 'brand' the menu bar with a logo image etc.?

Yes I was able to do this yesterday actually.

I should preface this with I am by no means a web developer but modifying the .Nav line in the CSS file will allow you to add an image/logo. After the background color, add

url("file:///<path and filename>") no-repeat left top;

Replacing <path and filename> with the exact path to the image you want to load. If the image is on the web then you wont need the "file:///" and you can just put the path to the image file.

This will place the image in the top left portion of the navigation bar. If you want to mess with colors around the tabs themselves, you modify the color codes for the next two lines (.menu a & .menu span).

Just wanted to share what I worked out but I am sure there must be a better way, but hey this works.

Thanks Chase. I'm struggling to get it to work unfortunately...

I struggled a bit with it myself. Why don't you post what you have and what you are trying to do and maybe I can assist?

Hey,

Does anyone know how to keep the parent sheet highlighted in the navigation bar once it is clicked (or one of its sub-items is clicked)?

Best Regards
