Show sidebar action

It supports HTML as well as embedding master visualizations by using the following syntax:

$object_id{css styles}

object_id - identifier of the master visualization object.

css styles - the CSS styles to apply to the embedded object.

Example:

$9bc03224-f072-439f-b0de-3014860d4f8a{width:100%;height: 40px}

With custom themes developers can style Power KPI visualizations by applying custom classes defined in a theme.

.qv-object-powerkpi .powerkpi-theme {
  background: linear-gradient(#f2f2f2, white) !important;
  border: solid 1px #f2f2f2;
  border-radius: 5px;
}

.qv-object-powerkpi .powerkpi-theme:hover  {
  background: linear-gradient(#CFF0F8, white) !important;
  border: solid 1px #3b93bd;

Maximum font size in percentages for responsive text mode

It is now possible to set maximum font size in percentages when responsive text mode is activated for a cell using the "Fit inside cell button" on the "Font" toolbar. For example, in the image below, the maximum font size is set to 75% of the original size defined when drawing the data value for a particular cell in responsive mode.

August 2022

Chart Level Scripting support

It is a Qlik Sense feature available in Qlik Cloud and in Qlik Sense Client Managed version starting from August 2022.

Quote from Qlik documentation:

With chart level scripting, you can add script-like functionality to the results of a visualization. It complements chart expressions, as chart level scripting include control statements, such as loops and recursive actions, for more complex mathematical calculations. You can also modify multiple columns, as long as a placeholder exists in the chart, and add new rows to a result.

Chart level scripting must be enabled in the app before you can add a chart script to a visualization.
