Couple of weeks back Alexander Karlsson (@mindspank) posted a tweet with idea for a new Qlik Sense extension. The extension should look like this: Basically the extension should have a rectangle for each state. The rectangles should be ordered so they will look like USA map. In each rectangle there should be two text values - top one is the state name in short format (WA, ID, MT etc.) and some value (user specified) ...
We have a project in which we are working with menu navigation data (more like parent-child relation / hierarchical data). Although there are few approaches and solutions we’ve picked few visualisations that might be better to be used with our data. We had our POC app build in Qlikview using only QV charts and the solutions looked ok. But we’ve decided to spend more time in this and bring some D3 charts in QV. ...
After installing Qlikview extension I’m usually forgetting to check if the extension have new versions. From time to time I’m remembering to check but this is not on very regular basis. Last week I’ve started a new extension (more about it in the next couple of weeks) and gave the initial version to one of my colleagues for opinion. But to mail him every time when I release new version (especially in the active development phase) will be a bit annoying. So I’ve start to think if there a was to notify him more discreet that new version is there. ...
I’m missing the option to present Qlik Sense listboxes in a different ways (Not that I don’t like the default one I’m just missing it) So I’ve made an extension that can represent field values as Checkboxes, Radio buttons or Buttons. As you can see from the screenshots below few more options are available: Orientation: display the list as single row or multiple rows Toggle select: if “false” the behavior of the selection will be * more like “only one selected” option in Qlikview Active style (css): style the selected value(s) with valid CSS InActive style (css): style the non selected value(s) with valid CSS You can find the source code and the zip file in the Github repo ...
I’ve started playing with Qlik Sense extensions these days and pretty much I’m happy with the process in overall. You can develop extensions using Workbench (if you have Qlik Sense Desktop installed) or any text editor. But if you have Sense Server installed you need to develop directly on the server or upload your files every time a change is made. From 7-8 months I’m a proud owner of Chromebook and I’m trying to use it as many as possible. At this point I can use it as my default laptop for work. ...
Every QlikView app have a section with available selections (usually on top or in the left side or both). This sections are static and are not visible all the time when the user scroll (if the tab contains more content which cannot fit on the visible screen). I was missing “fixed” selections areas in QlikView from time to time but never did anything about it. In desktop/IE plugin is not possible to have it but AJAX client is a different story. And the result is FixedContent. ...
If you have one Qlikview Access Point then you have no problems but when you have few Qlikview environments and multiple customers and want to open qv document then you are in trouble (kinda). Organizing bookmarks is one solutions that helps. I was thinking recently how to speed up the process of open document quickly and decided to make a little Chrome extension that will help. The idea of the extension is simple - define few Qlikview Access Points links and get the documents that are available. Then just search the list for document and jump in it. ...
