Dashboard bundle

Dashboard bundle is a set of controls that you can use to enhance navigation and selection in your Qlik Sense app. The controls are optional. You do not have to install or enable them to use Qlik Sense.

Enabling Dashboard bundle

You can install the Dashboard bundle when you install Qlik Sense. If you need to adjust your installation, see: Modifying an object bundles installation.

Dashboard bundle controls

Dashboard controls are in the asset panel under Custom objects.

The following controls are included:

  • Animator

    You can animate changes in your visualizations over a period of time.

  • Date range picker

    You can select a single date or a range of dates from a calendar.

  • Line

    Add vertical and horizontal lines to a sheet.

  • On-Demand reporting control

    You can add a button that creates a Qlik NPrinting report using the current selections in the app.

  • Text

  • Variable input control

    You can set the value of a variable.

  • Video player

    You can add a video to your sheet.

Limitations

When you use objects from Dashboard bundle there are some limitations compared to built-in controls. The following limitations are valid for all controls from Dashboard bundle:

  • The user interface of the visualization is not localized to the language that Qlik Sense is using.
  • Right-to-left reading order is not supported.
  • Accessibility features are not supported.
  • It is not possible to edit objects from an object bundle supplied by Qlik with Dev Hub.

The following table shows which additional features are supported, or not supported, for all bundled objects:

  • Qlik NPrinting

    There is an On-Demand reporting control. However, visualizations made in some objects cannot be used in Qlik NPrinting reports.

    On-Demand reporting control is not supported on mobile devices. An On-Demand reporting control button only works when accessed through a personal computer.

  • Download

    Downloading as image, PDF, or Excel.

  • Storytelling

    Using a snapshot of a visualization created with an object in a story.

  • Alternate states

    Making different selections on the same dimension and comparing the selections in a single visualization or in two or more visualizations side by side.
