Lock and Unlock Selections


The logic of QlikView by default replaces a previous selection with the new selection if
the previous selection is in conflict with the new selection.
Select an excluded (gray) value. Note that your old selection disappears.
To prevent this, selections may be locked. Locked cells are blue. A selection in
conflict with a locked selection will not be performed.
Choose Lock from the Selections menu or from the toolbar. This will lock all
selections, preventing them from being cleared by mistake.
Try to select an excluded value in another list box and note that it is not possible.
To unlock all selections, choose Unlock from the Selections menu or from the
toolbar.

Bookmarks
It is possible to save a set of selections for later use:
Select one or several values, then choose Add Bookmark.
The default name for the created bookmark is
that of the current date (displayed in the Create
Bookmark dialog, see the picture).
In addition, the first bookmark created on a specific day
gets number 1, the second number 2, etc.
However, you can change the default name to a more
explanatory text.
Type an appropriate bookmark name in
the dialog, then click OK.
Go to the Bookmarks again and note that your
bookmark has appeared in the list of created bookmarks.

Qlikview Selections
Whenever a selection is made, the program instantaneously shows all the field values in the
document that are related to the selected field value.
In the list box, place the mouse cursor on a value and click.
The cells of associated field values are white. Selected and associated
values are referred to as possible values.
A cell whose contents are not associated (whose value does not occur
in combination with that of the selected item) is called excluded. The
cells of excluded values are gray.
To facilitate the overview of the query result, the contents of the list
boxes have been sorted, not only alphabetically, but also by their
state: optional values are put at the beginning of the list, excluded
values at the end.

Qlikview Selections
To undo your selection, simply click on the selected cell again, or
click on another cell in the same list box. The new selection will
replace your previous selection.
To select more than one item in the same list box, hold the CTRL
key down while selecting additional values.
If the items you are selecting are adjacent to your first selection,
you can instead hold the left mouse button down while dragging
the mouse cursor.
After this multiple selection within a field, QlikView shows the
combinations belonging to any of the field values (logical or) as
optional values.

Qlikview Selections
Keeping track of your selections :
When you make many selections at the same time it can sometimes be hard
to keep track of them.
In order to help you with this QlikView has two good tools, the Current
Selections box and the Current Selections window.

Combining selections:
An optional value in another list box can be selected in combination with a previously
selected value.
When you select an optional value from a list box and then select another optional
value from another list box, QlikView will show the combinations belonging to both
selections (logical and) as options
