VizLib Table: Allow Dimesion Text to be treated as URL

B

started a topic about 3 years ago

The standard Qlik table allows dimensions to be URL. For VizLib table, it takes several more steps to replicate this behaviour:

  • Create a dimension
  • Hide the dimension from view
  • Create a measure using the same expression/field as the dimension
  • Set text type as URL


It's counter-productive to have to do additional steps to make the same happen in VizLib table as compared to the single step in the standard Qlik table. VizLib plugin should be better than the standard, not worse.

    In second step, 'Hide the dimension from view" is mentioned. How to hide a dimension, that is added into Data

    Hello, 

    Please add this feature. Adds a huge amount of functionality if your ticket list can link to the actual ticket in that application.

    Thanks in advance!

    Hi Business,

    Please see this example application I have created.

    You can do this using VIzlib Actions - Learn more here -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFoYevtgRZo&ab_channel=Vizlib

    In the QVF attached, I have included 2 Vizlib tables (Pivot Table and Table) with actions applied.
    I have also included a way you can achieved the same result but with a Vizlib Button

    NOTE: You need to remove the '=' (Equals sign) from the field once populated; this is something that Qlik controls, not us/Vizlib.

    Hi Business,


    Sorry it has taken a while to get back to you but you will find that this feature already exists.
    ​
    When you add a new column to your table or pivot table, add it as a measure and remove the expression i.e. sum(URL) change to URL

    You will then find an option relating to that specific column called Text is URL. Select it and then go to the text in that column will become selectable.

    Please see the example app attached.

    I believe this feature request has now been answered, please can you confirm?
