QlikView for Developers Cookbook

Chapter 2. Layout

In this chapter, we will cover:

  • Changing the default object layout options

  • Changing the default selection color scheme

  • Modifying the green, white, and gray selection color schemes

  • Modifying the green, white, and gray selection color schemes on QlikView Server

  • Using containers as an alternative to multi-boxes

  • Using the design menus to custom format a cell

Introduction

There are some best practices that one should always follow when creating a layout in QlikView.

For general advice on visualizing data, I recommend the following people:

Publication

Website

Stephen Few

Show Me The Numbers, Information Dashboard Design, and Now You See It.

Robert Kosara

www.eagereyes.org

Andy Kirk

Data Visualization: a successful design process

Alberto Cairo

The Functional Art

www.thefunctionalart.com

There are, of course, many others on note, but the list could go for several pages and you wouldn't get to the bottom of it!

My purpose in this chapter is to show you how to layout and configure documents so that you can implement best practices.

Changing the default object layout options

The default layout option in QlikView is Simplified. When you look at the Layout tab of any object, you will only see, two options on the left-hand side: Shadow Intensity and Border Width:

While these options suffice for 99 percent of all layouts, there are many other options that we can make available to us, if required.

Getting ready

Open any existing QlikView document with at least one listbox (perhaps one of the documents from Chapter 1, Charts).

How to do it…

Follow these steps to change the default layout options:

  1. From the Settings menu, click on Document Properties (Ctrl + Alt + D).

  2. On the General tab, set the Styling Mode to Advanced. Click on OK to close the properties.

  3. Notice that the sheet objects have changed already, probably with rounded corners.

  4. Open the properties of any object and look at the Layout tab. Notice that there are now many more options.

  5. Modify the options and notice what happens.

How it works…

Enabling the Advanced styling mode...

Changing the default selection color scheme

QlikView has six precanned color schemes, such as Classic, Forest, Spring, Lime, Classic Extended, and Light. Out of box, the default selection color scheme is Light. The Possible options have white background, the Selected options are green, and the Excluded options have a very light gray.

On some displays, especially projectors or plasma screens, the colors do not come out as well; especially the light gray can look almost white.

Also, business users sometimes request that the color scheme be changed. While it is not straightforward to change from the green/white/gray options, there are several options to choose from (as long as they are green/white/gray!).

Getting ready

Open any existing QlikView document with at least one listbox (perhaps one of the documents from Chapter 1, Charts).

How to do it…

These steps will show you how to change the default color scheme:

  1. From the Settings menu, click on Document Properties (Ctrl + Alt + D).

  2. On the General...

Modifying the green, white, and gray selection color schemes

QlikView selection colors are green/white/gray. They have a brand around this and are not keen for anyone who can change them.

It is, however, possible to do so. We will use the QlikView API to modify the user's color preferences.

Getting ready

Open any existing QlikView document with at least one listbox (perhaps one of the documents from Chapter 1, Charts).

How to do it

Follow these steps to change the default green, white, and gray color schemes:

  1. From the Tools menu, select Edit Module (or press Ctrl + M).

  2. Enter the following code:

    Sub SetColorPrefs()

  Dim UserPrefs
  
  set UserPrefs = _
    ActiveDocument.GetApplication.GetUserPreferences

  ' Set the "Selected" Color
  UserPrefs.CustomSelBgColor(1).PrimaryCol.Col = _
    RGB (0,0,255)    ' Blue
  UserPrefs.CustomSelFgColor(1).PrimaryCol.Col = _
    RGB (255,255,0)  ' Yellow
  ' Set the "Possible" Color
  UserPrefs.CustomSelBgColor(2).PrimaryCol.Col = _
    RGB (255,255,0)  ' Yellow...

Modifying the green, white, and gray selection color schemes in QlikView Server

In the previous recipe, Modifying the green, white, and gray selection color schemes, we used the API to modify a user's default color scheme. However, this is a user setting and doesn't automatically apply to QlikView Server.

In this recipe, we will take the setting generated in the last recipe and apply them manually to QlikView Server.

Getting ready

Complete the previous recipe, Modifying the green, white and gray selection color schemes.

How to do it…

These steps show you how to modify the green, white, and gray color scheme on QlikView Server:

  1. Locate your Settings.ini file in C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\QlikTech\QlikView.

  2. Open the file in Notepad and locate the CustSel entries. Select them all and copy them to the clipboard (Ctrl + C).

  3. On the QlikView Server, stop the QlikView Server Service.

  4. Locate the Settings.ini file in C:\ProgramData\QlikTech\QlikViewServer.

  5. Paste the CustSel values from the user Settings...

Using containers as an alternative to multiboxes

Multi Boxes have been around in QlikView for a long time. They can be a useful way of adding many selectors to the layout when there is little room for a lot of listboxes.

They can be presented either in the default, lateral mode, with the drop-down list across from the label, or in Grid Mode, with the drop-down list underneath the label.

I used Multi Boxes for many years and quite liked the Grid Mode style. However, there was a major problem. Unfortunately, the Grid Mode style is not supported in the AJAX ZFC web client.

Since Version 10 of QlikView, I have moved away from Multi Boxes and instead use a container control with listboxes. I believe that it is a much better way of accessing many fields in a small form factor.

Getting ready

Load the following script:

LOAD * INLINE [
    Country, Product, SalesPerson, Category, Sales
    USA, Widget, Joe, Widgets, 1234
    USA, Woggle, Joe, Widgets, 1983
    USA, Brogue, Jane, Footwear, 1175
    USA...

Using the design menus to custom format a cell

There are two design menus that can appear when you right-click an object on the layout. They are:

  • Order: This is applicable to all objects, and this menu has a submenu that allows you to adjust the Layer of an object.

  • Custom Format Cells: This is applicable only to the three grid objects (Table Box, Straight Table, and Pivot Table), and this menu allows you to apply your own custom color, border, and font options to a cell.

These menu items do not appear by default. There are two ways of making them available. You can either turn on the Design Grid option (from the View menu), or you can turn them on by changing your User Preferences, which we will do in this recipe.

Getting ready

Load the following script:

Load * Inline [
  Country, Sales, Costs
  USA, 1203, 1043
  UK, 987, 995
  France, 1118, 1022
  Germany, 876, 754
];

How to do it…

Use the following steps to custom format a cell in the table:

  1. Create a straight table with Country as dimension and...

"QlikView for Developers Cookbook" should find its prominent place on every serious QlikView developer's desk. This is a portable guide to many "secrets of trade" that have been mastered by a very creative QlikView practitioner, through years of developing advanced QlikView applications.While it's not a typical tutorial book that takes the reader from the basics to the advanced topics, the Cookbook offers hundreds of specific solutions, from curiously obscure to tremendously useful, and none are too obvious.Stephen Redmond, a brilliant QlikView practitioner, is showing his magic tricks, one after another, and unlike any other magicians, he immediately reveals to the audience how the trick works. The book is even structured this way. In each chapter, after the problem at hand is presented, the reader will find a section "Getting Ready", where each exercise is prepared with a simple load script and some initial configurations. Then, the next section "How to do it", shows the trick by walking the reader through the "magical" configuration or a setup that makes the trick work. Most training manuals stop there, assuming that the rest is obvious, - which is rarely the case. Stephen is going further by adding a section "How it works", which provides a nice explanation of the settings and the underlying logic that made the trick possible. Furthermore, when there is additional lesson to be learned, an additional section "There's more..." includes any additional related information. I found this form of explanation extremely educational - I don't just blindly learn HOW to do something, I'm also learning WHY should it work and WHAT ELSE do I need to know about it.As an experienced QlikView practitioner, I didn't expect to learn a lot of new stuff, and I was proven wrong. Many of the ideas in the Cookbook looked new and refreshing for me. I truly believe that every serious QlikView developer will find a lot of interesting insight in this book. I certainly did.Oleg Troyansky,President,Natural Synergies, Inc.

FAQs

How do I buy and download an eBook? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Where there is an eBook version of a title available, you can buy it from the book details for that title. Add either the standalone eBook or the eBook and print book bundle to your shopping cart. Your eBook will show in your cart as a product on its own. After completing checkout and payment in the normal way, you will receive your receipt on the screen containing a link to a personalised PDF download file. This link will remain active for 30 days. You can download backup copies of the file by logging in to your account at any time.

If you already have Adobe reader installed, then clicking on the link will download and open the PDF file directly. If you don't, then save the PDF file on your machine and download the Reader to view it.

Please Note: Packt eBooks are non-returnable and non-refundable.
