User Preferences: Objects

Here you can determine a number of default settings for sheet objects.

• Enable all confirmation messages: When QlikView is first installed on a computer a number of warning dialogs are enabled. Each of these will prompt for confirmation before performing certain actions, such as deleting sheets and sheet objects or sending e-mail. Every warning dialog includes a checkbox stating: "Do not show this message again". By checking the box that particular warning dialog is permanently suspended. To turn all previously disabled warning dialogs back on, click the Enable button in this group.

• Preserve Scroll Position: With this setting enabled, QlikView will try to preserve the scroll position of tables and charts with a scroll bar when a selection is made in another object. The setting must be enabled on the objects’ Layout page as well. The scroll position is not preserved when you close the document.
