14.3 Selection Styles
QlikView supports a number of different ways of presenting data and making selections in list boxes and
multi boxes. The QlikView Classic, Corner Tag and LED styles all use color coding for indication of
selected, possible and excluded values. The Windows Checkboxes style mimics the standard Windows interface
with check box at each value. The LED Checkbox style uses the color-coding in combination with the
Windows Checkboxes style.
When using the selection styles based on color, there are a number of different color schemes available. The
basic colors (green for selected, blue for locked etc.) cannot be changed, but variations in tone and intensity
are possible.
Which style is used can be controlled via settings on the Document Properties: General page ( Document
Properties: General (page 408)), the User Preferences: General page ( User Preferences (page 77)) and the
list box properties: Presentation page ( List Box Properties: Presentation (page 471)). Representation of
Logical State
The logical state of data in QlikView is in the color-coded QlikView Classic style represented by color coding
of background and text in the cells of list boxes and multi boxes. In some other sheet objects and on the
sheet tabs so called selection beacons may appear to indicate selections. The & and ! characters may appear
to the left of data in list boxes and multi boxes in order to indicate AND and NOT selections.
With the Windows Checkboxes style the only color coding remaining is the white and gray background of
cells to indicate possible and excluded values in list boxes and multi boxes. However, all cells will also feature
an icon to the data, which shows the logical status. These icons also appear in the place of the selection
beacons in other parts of the document.
