System functions
System functions provide functions for accessing system, device and Qlik Sense app properties.
Use the drop-down on each function to see a brief description and the syntax of each function. For some of the functions, you can get further details about that specific function by clicking the function name in the syntax description.
This function returns a string containing the author property of the current app. It can be used in both the data load script and in a chart expression.
This function returns a string containing the name of the computer as returned by the operating system. It can be used in both the data load script and in a chart expression.
ComputerName( )
This function returns a string containing the full path to the current Qlik Sense app. It can be used in both the data load script and in a chart expression.
This function returns the full Qlik Sense engine version as a string.
GetObjectField() returns the name of the dimension. Index is an optional integer denoting the dimension that should be returned.
GetObjectField([index])
This function returns the value of a key in the Windows registry. It can be used in both the data load script and in a chart expression.
GetRegistryString(path, key)
This function returns - 1 (True) if the current reload is partial, otherwise 0 (False).
The InObject() chart function evaluates whether or not the current object is contained inside another object with the ID specified in the function argument. The object can be a sheet or a visualization.
InObject(id_str)
The ObjectId() chart function returns the ID of the object in which the expression is evaluated. The function takes an optional argument specifying which type of object the function concerns. The object can be a sheet or a visualization. This function is only available in chart expressions.
ObjectId([object_type_str])
This function returns a string containing the name of the user that is currently connected. It can be used in both the data load script and in a chart expression.
OSUser( )
This function returns the full Qlik Sense version and build number as a string.
This function is deprecated and replaced by EngineVersion().
StateName() returns the name of the alternate state of the visualization in which it is used. StateName can be used, for example, to create visualizations with dynamic text and colors to reflect when the state of a visualization is changed. This function can be used in chart expressions, but cannot be used to determine the state that the expression refers to.
