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:

Name	Publication	Website
Stephen Few	Show Me The Numbers, Information Dashboard Design, and Now You See It.	www.perceptualedge.com
Robert Kosara	Eager Eyes Blog	www.eagereyes.org
Andy Kirk	Data Visualization: a successful design process	www.visualisingdata.com
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.

What is custom duty/charge?

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order?

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges?

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.

"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.

Amazing book, even for seasonal qv developer. It sets a certain baseline of skills and technics, which a developer should remember and use. All the most important aspects of script writing, data modeling, interface design are presented - almost nothing to add!

I have written a very comprehensive review on my blog. So, if you are thinking about purchasing this book yet wanted to know more about its content, please visit my blog.[...]
