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.
