Document Chaining - Hidden Listbox

[xyz_1011]

All,

i am trying to chain two QlikView Apps on access point using a simple "Open URL" action. The URL contains the sheet to be activated as well as the fields to be selected. Problem is that the target app contains some hidden listboxes and it appears they are not being considered in the selection process when clicking the link in the target app.

Is there any way to make this work (other than adding all listboxes as stand alone always visible items on the target sheet) ?

Thanks a lot for some help!

I'm not familiar with the specifics of your QlikView setup, but it sounds like you're dealing with hidden listboxes not functioning as expected during document chaining. You might need to explore QlikView's documentation or community for a solution. ehallpass

Hidden could mean quite different things, like:

• hidden per object-properties in tab layout and using TRUE/FALSE conditions for the visibility
• having the objects minimized
• applying them within a container and being not the active object
• using a lower Z-level for the objects and hiding them below other objects/elements (maybe a logo)
• reducing the object-size to 1 pixel and/or making all layout-parts transparent (they are there but not really noticeable)

I think the selection-behaviour between the various hidden-types will be different.

Further thoughts go to considerations of using another list-box with the same field within another sheet and/or using several ones as linked objects. Also the order of the url-parameter might have an impact - means attempts like accessing the list-boxes first and calling the target-sheet as the last parameter.
