selections directly from the Current Selections box. This feature is available
in QlikView Desktop, in the QlikView Plug-in client and in the Ajax client.
See page 186 in Book II.
Menu caption icon
A new caption icon has been added. When clicking on the new “Menu” icon,
the context menu of the sheet object is opened. This feature is available in
QlikView Desktop, in the QlikView Plug-in client and in the Ajax client.
Default on mobile browsers (e.g. Mobile Safari on iPhone/iPad).
WebView / Ajax mode in QlikView Desktop
Via a single click on a toolbar button it is now possible to switch between
traditional rendering and Ajax rendering when running QlikView Desktop.
This feature provides a convenient way for the developer to see exactly how
the layout will look when used from an Ajax client. Naturally the Ajax property
dialogs are available when running in WebView, providing for some
nice functionality that is not available to the developer in standard view. It
should however be noted that some functionality, e.g. report editing, is not
available in WebView.
Improved Report Editor
The Report Editor has been improved and now has a new toolbar and new
buttons to facilitate the creation of reports.
2.3 Ajax client improvements
Apart from the new layout features listed above, a number of Ajax specific features
have been added:
Ajax performance
Several measures have been taken to improve the performance of the Ajax
client. Most notably the Ajax client’s communication with QlikView Server
is now asynchronous, just like it is when using QlikView Desktop or the
QlikView Plug-in client. This means that you do not have to wait for the
entire layout to be updated after a selection, but can continue clicking e.g. in
list boxes while heavy charts are still calculating. The result is a perception
of considerable performance increase.
Ajax performance has also been significantly improved for tables with many
columns.
