Issue with row formatting in nov-17 Qlik Sense release #14

Open laiariu opened 6 years ago

Hi,

We are using the extension with one Qlik Sense dashboard that we've recently migrated to november 2017 release. We found out that there's an issue when using one CSV file combined with Metric Semaphores.

We attach here an example of what is happening. The metrics that are being affected by Metric Semaphores override the row settings set in the CSV file:

Are we doing something wrong or are we supposed to configure it in another way?

We know that PLSmartPivot supports the September 2017 version of Qlik Sense, but we would like to know if you are planning on releasing future versions for new Qlik Sense releases, or if we should look for another way to represent the data.

Thanks and kind regards,

Laia

Hi Laia

If I understand, you'd wish that the background color, in this case, should stay in gray (as set in your csv), even when there is a cell affected by a semaphore rule, that's right? The extension does not work like this, when you use a semaphore it's setting the new background and text color to the cells. The code should be modified to change this behavior. I'm not planning to modify the extension, you should find some help from a JS developer.

Hi Ivan,

Thanks for your reply.

Yes, you are right, the color should stay as the CSV file. Our question comes because in the previous Qlik Sense version used before the migration (Nov 2016), the colors where appearing right, as the following image represents:

It was only after the migration to nov 2017 that these configuration didn't work. Knowing that, we will find help from a developer to follow the csv configuration.

Thanks again and regards,

Laia

Latests versions of Qlik Sense change the JQuery and some features, like the color picker, which stopped working. Color-picker changed internally from a Number value to a Json format. I had to modify that and as I see it has broken something that I had no seen before. I'll try to fix it as it used to work. Hope I'll find time during this week. Thanks for your comments Laia!
