System fields

In addition to the fields extracted from the data source, system fields are also produced by Qlik Sense. These all begin with "$" and can be displayed like ordinary fields in a visualization, such as a filter pane or a table. System fields are typically created during script execution, and are primarily used as an aid in app design.

Information note

System fields are not included in field lists in the assets panel or the Expression editor. If you want to use a system field, you need to reference it by typing it manually.

Example: =$Field

Available system fields

The following system fields are available:

$Table Displays all internal tables loaded by the script.
$Field Displays the fields that are read from the tables.
$Fields Represent the number of fields in different tables.
$FieldNo Displays the position of the fields in the tables.
$Rows Displays the number of rows in the tables.
$Info Displays names of info tables, if they have been included in the app.
