Reusing properties defined by Qlik Sense

You can reuse property definitions that come built in with Qlik Sense.

Reusing Dimensions

When you reuse the Dimensions property panel accordion item, it includes the following:

Add dimension

When you have added a dimension, you have the following default properties:

Field
Label
Show null values
Limitation
Show others
Others label

Example: Add Dimensions accordion

The example below depicts how to add a Dimensions accordion to the property panel of your visualization. Note that it is defined that the visualization must have exactly one dimension.

define( [], function ( ) { return { type: "items", component: "accordion", items: { dimensions: { uses: "dimensions", min: 1, max: 1 } } }; });

This is what it looks like in the property panel

Reusing Measures

When you reuse the Measures property panel accordion item, it includes the following:

Add measure

When you have added a measure, you have the following default properties:

Label
Expression
Number formatting

Example: Add Measures accordion

This example depicts how we now also have added the definition of the Measures accordion to the property panel of our extension. Note that we also here define that the visualization must have exactly one measure.

define( [], function ( ) { return { type: "items", component: "accordion", items: { dimensions: { uses: "dimensions", min: 1, max: 1 }, measures: { uses: "measures", min: 1, max: 1 } } }; });

This is what it looks like in the property panel

Reusing Sorting

When you reuse the Sorting property panel accordion item, it includes the following:

Labels of the dimension and measure used in the visualization
Sorting option (Auto or Custom)

The Custom option includes the following:
- Sort by expression (only available for dimensions)
- Sort numerically
- Sort alphabetically
- Sort by frequency (only available for filter panes)

Example: Add Sorting accordion

This example depicts how we now also have added the definition of the Sorting accordion to the property panel of your visualization. We have not made any alterations to the Sorting accordion pre-defined by Qlik Sense.

define( [], function ( ) { return { type: "items", component: "accordion", items: { dimensions: { uses: "dimensions", min: 1, max: 1 }, measures: { uses: "measures", min: 1, max: 1 }, sorting: { uses: "sorting" } } }; });

This is what it looks like in the property panel. Note that Custom has been selected for the Dimension (Dim1)
