Project File
As a first step toward versioning and in supporting a multi-developer environment,
we can now split up a document in smaller components, where
each file corresponds to sheet objects and file structure. Read more about the
feature on page 59.
2.2 Presentation and Layout Features
Getting Started Wizard
To help new users getting started working with their own data, a wizard has
been introduced for creating new documents. The wizard guides the user
through the process of loading an Excel file and creating a first chart. The
wizard can be disabled. Also, it can be restored via User Preferences. Read
more on page 51.
Container Object
A new object type – the Container – has been developed. This object enables
the user to define an object that sometimes shows e.g. a bar chart, sometimes
a pivot table and sometimes some other object type. Small tabs or a dropdown
allows the user to choose which object to show. The container object
can thus be used instead of “fast type change” to toggle between object
types, but has the additional advantage that the objects need not have the
same set of dimensions, or even be of the same type. Read more on page 259
in Book II.
List Box Expressions
Whereas list boxes previously could display a frequency number it is now
possible to add any number of arbitrary QlikView expressions for display
next to the list box field values. The expressions are defined in the same
manner as chart expressions and all of the display options available in table
charts are also available here. For example you may show the expression results
both as text, images, gauges and mini charts. This feature is available in
QlikView Desktop, in the QlikView Plug-in client and in the Ajax client.
Read more about the feature on page 105 in Book II.
Mekko Charts
This is a new chart type requested by several of our customers. In essence it
is a bar chart where the value of one expression or dimension is used to
determine the width of the bars. This feature will be available in all clients.
Read more about Mekko charts on page 205 in Book III.
