If you don't know how to find the object ID this will be explained on sheet "Hide (Helper-) Objects".SimpleXML dashboards have been around for quite a while now, and you can do quite a bit with them.

#SIMPLE CSS DASHBOARD CODE#
Navigate to the "Styles" submenu and copy the code from the "Styles (CSS)" window. This object is always the "Helper-object" that carries the used and explained CSS code. To do so enter the "edit-mode" and click on the "CSS config HERE" button. On the right-hand side, you can see the used code in a black code box.

Navigate to submenu " Styles" and change the used app-ID in " Styles (CSS)" to your app-ID (displayed in the URL). Click on " Edit Sheet" and select the displayed CSS box (" CSS config HERE"). This gets referenced over the internal app-ID.
Normally this sheet has a background image. Open sheet called " Using Background Pictures". After importing the extension and app we need to change a quick configuration because the app has a different ID on your system now.

How to hide objects like the selection bar or elements within context-menus in case these functions shouldn't be used in the app or on this sheet?Īdding background-pictures to your dashboard can spice up the overall flavor of your dashboards. Sometimes selections can be mandatory to consume a dashboard, or the creator likes to guide the user through the filter pane by using colored filter boxes. This example demonstrates how to add better guidance to your dashboards by segmenting your background. This sheet helps you to hide this object and which objects can be used for it. On this sheet, I will explain when you should use which option.Ī "helper-object" carries and injects the CSS definition on a specific sheet. You can add CSS definitions to your app by using themes or by using so-called "helper- objects". The following list will give you a brief overview of what topics are focused on the specific sheet within the app. This tour will give you an overview of the documented and used tricks within the app. If you think this sounds interesting, take a couple of minutes and join my short tour through the app. In addition to that, it is very easy to understand because you can see the result directly within a Qlik Sense App. I have created an application that gathers a couple of these tricks and explains them more in detail.
