I’ve not put masses of detail and screenshots here, please go to the VizLib site to find out just what you can do with these extensions. The VizLib Scatter chart takes that requirement and knocks it out of the park, delivering on the animated time charts of the late, great, Hans Rosling in the process.
Qlik extension showhide how to#
This doesn’t mean you can find anything you want though, and I took to Qlik Community to find how to replicate a chart I used in QlikView showing points transitioning from prior period to now ( ), with no luck. 3?) that the intention was that the API would be opened up so that anyone could create visualisations, and that has certainly happened. Donald Farmer said at an early Dev Group (No. One of the frustrations that I have with Qlik Sense is that functionality that I have grown to use frequently in QlikView is simply not there out of the box in Sense. The huge number of properties that can be set in the accordion give a developer whatever they could possibly need.įinally, on the day of the Dev Group itself I spotted the final extension that is available as at now, the VizLib scatter chart. The tool-tip functionality (to show a custom text box on mouse-over of a text object) adds even more possibilities. Something that is missing on native Sense objects is the dynamic show/hide, not so with VizLib objects that’s here also. All of the frustrations within Qlik Sense are removed, and my recently published blog post was rendered obsolete in an instant.Ĭolours based on functions, different fonts, borders and a large number of actions (looking suspiciously like the QlikView list of actions) are all present and correct. This one component delivers on everything that the QlikView text box does, with a few extras thrown in. Whilst I can’t see a use case where I will be embedding this into any of my clients’ analytics apps any time soon, it showcases the use of Sense as a portal for data presentation of any kind.įrom here I then discovered the Advanced Text Object, and this is when I truly started to get excited. With data loaded in giving details of starts, duration and media related to events a truly dynamic presentation of a timeline can be shown within Sense itself. This really is a demonstration of the art of the possible in Qlik Sense. The first extension that I saw from the VizLib stable was the TimeLine. Things were certainly starting to look very interesting. Martin had teamed up with David Alcebero and Adam Cooke, names I was familiar from Qlik Community and from Qlik themselves. One by one, three freely available extensions were released for Qlik Sense under the VizLib banner, I will look at each of these in a bit.Īs the information for the Qlik Dev Group was made available as were the details of who VizLib were in their entirety.
Things then started emerging, first on Twitter and then on their own website. I dropped Martin a note, but he didn’t offer too much in way of explanation, and the website at simply had a “coming soon” placeholder. The first signs that something was about to happen (or at least the first I noticed) was when Martin Mahler updated his LinkedIn employment title to CEO of VizLib. In my opinion, what VizLib are bringing to market is about to bring about a major shift in Qlik Sense use, and it all starts now. It was notable not only for the first non-Qlik based presentation, from the wonderful Nadieh Bremer, but also the first public appearance of VizLib. Typically show/hide conditions on objects were used to guide the user through the data/app.įor a more guided experience you still have QlikView or you could leverage the Qlik Sense APIs to build that experience.This week saw the 10th Qlik Dev Group in London. Keep in mind that Qlik Sense is a different product then QlikView and aims to fulfill a different use-case then QlikView. I also came across this excerpt from one of our viz experts, that was in response to a similar question:
Hi Omar - thanks for tagging me - you are correct - this is not possible at the moment and not sure if it will be - Deva made mention of an extension that might perform this task - but I have not looked at it yet.
