Suggest an Idea

[Danijel]

Hello everybody,

currently there is the possibility to create a master element directly from a dimension or key figure, but I do not have the possibility to edit it directly.

Therefore the idea: If a master element is used in the object, it should be possible to jump directly to this element to edit it.

This would save a few clicks and you would not have to act across the screen.

Thank you for your feedback on ways to improve our product. While this is something we understand would be useful, it's not on the short-term roadmap. Please continue to show your support for this idea.

Thanks,

Patric

I had the same suggestion and got a few votes for it, hope the same people will vote here to give the idea some weight.

As a Qlik Sense App developer, I would like to be able quickly to modify the Master item I am using in a Chart, so that I can work on the Chart with as little interruption as possible.

When you add a Master item to an app, you rarely know exactly how that Master item should be used, for example how colours should be selected or what name it should have. You might even need to modify the expression, to handle data points you didn't know you had. 

As you use the item in different Charts, you keep finding changes you want to make. Currently, you make such changes by opening the Assets pane, navigating to Master items, navigating to the type of Master item you are looking for and finally opening and editing that Master item. That is a long excursion from the Chart work you were doing.

Two implementation suggestions:

1) Add a pencil icon button beside the link icon for the Master item in the Chart properties, let that pencil button open the Master item for editing.

2) Add an option for editing the Master item to the user interaction following a click on the link icon.

It would also be really nice if I as an app developer could see the definition of a Master Measure in a published app.

Would be a huge time saver!

Delivered as of Sept 14, 2021 Qlik SaaS release, the property panel for dimensions and measures now includes a shortcut if master items is being used.
