  • Button
  • Container
  • Line Arrow
  • Current Selections Box

  • Multi Box
  • Bookmark Object
  • Search Object
  • Text Object

Access to the excluded objects is available by switching to Ajax client.

Main Menu

Main menu interface

The main menu is located at the bottom of the screen when a QlikView document is opened, and contains a number of options:

Current Selections

Pressing Current Selections displays selections that are currently made, and any already made selections can be edited or removed. The current selections affect what is displayed in all objects in the QlikView document. Pressing the arrow in the top right-hand corner opens the Current Selections menu, with the following options:

Current Selections options
Option Description
Back Reverts to the preceding selection state.
Forward Reverts to the selection state before having selected Back. It is possible to toggle between two states by alternating between the Back and Forward commands.

Unlock all fields Unlocks all currently locked values.
Clear all selections Clears all selections, except locked ones.

Bookmarks

Pressing Bookmarks displays all bookmarks that are defined for the document. The current state of selections can be saved as bookmarks for later use. Bookmarks capture selections in all states defined in a QlikView document. When recalling a bookmark, the selections in all states will be applied. Bookmarks cannot be defined, only viewed, when using the layout adapted for small devices.

Bookmark Object

To return to the previous view, press the Back icon at the top left-hand corner.

To select multiple items in a list box or in a table, hold your finger on the item until the Select, Clear and Cancel buttons are displayed at the top of the screen. Use the Select button to add selections, and Clear buttons to remove selections.
