How to Create QlikView Container Objects

QVNewbie#2 : How to Create QlikView Container Objects

QlikView Container Objects is a useful object which holds set of other sheet objects and activate & De-Activate them as per the selection.

Before Container object was introduced in QlikView, Developers used to Minimize and Maximize the charts to have one of the Container object Functionality or Using the Variable to Hide and UnHide the Charts/Sheet objects.

Step 1: To Include Container object, Right Click on the Sheet >> New Sheet Object >> Container...

                              

Step 2:  Step 1 will take you to the 'New Container' window where it`ll list down the objects which is available in document. My Sheet has List box and Charts, So below container object Screen shot shows them for me to choose.

                              

Step 3: Chose your Objects which you`d like to place in the container object and click 'OK' button to view the object. To Demonstrate, i`ll be choosing the 'CH01 Stacked Bar With Line' and 'CH02 Linechart' objects in to my container object.

                            

Step 4: Once you click on 'OK' Button, You`ll See the container object with selected Sheet objects as shown below. 

                            

Set 5: The Default Appearance of the Container Objects is 'Tabs on the Left', Default appearance settings can be changed from the 'Presentation tab' of the Container Object.

                          

Step 6: Default Container Type can be changed from the 'Presentation tab' to 'Single Object' or 'Grid' View.

                         

Introducing container object helped to organize the QlikView sheet Objects effectively,It has saved the Developers time and beauty of the Container object is that it can hold any QlikView Sheet Objects which has opened the gate for us to do logical grouping of the sheet objects. This container objects can be used in various scenarios which i`ll be discussing in my future posts.
