Design requirements

When we start building the frontend of a QlikView document, we should always begin by defining two fundamental characteristics:

• The screen resolution on which most users will access the document

• The general style and layout of the document

We need to set a standard screen resolution right from the start because it will ultimately determine the placement and size of the objects across the screen. If we build the document targeting a screen resolution higher than that which users have on their machines, they will probably need to use the scroll bars too often. On the other hand, if we target our document to a screen resolution lower than our users' screen resolution, they will see a lot of empty space. Both of these situations will be an inconvenience that our users will need to deal with every day, so we don't want that to happen.

Note

Having a predefined resolution in the document does not keep the user from accessing a document using a lower (or higher)resolution monitor...
