Vizlib Custom Report Properties - Visualization Types

Visualization Types are activated per data-set in the property panel. When new visualizations are added to the Custom Report the new visualization has to be activated manually to make it available to  users. Native Qlik Sense visualizations are shown in dark gray and Vizlib visualizations are shown in blue. There are currently 16 different visualizations available.

Note on Vizlib Library: You will need to have Vizlib Library installed to use the Vizlib visualizations listed in the article (without being installed, they will not be displayed in the property panel). You can find out more about installation steps for Vizlib Custom Report here
