Container Box Overview
Note: All Climber Extensions have been acquired by Vizlib in April 2019 and are now part of our value- added product portfolio for Qlik Sense.
When there is only so much space and you still want a lot of options, Vizlib Container Box does the trick! The Container object allows us to include alternative objects in the same space. The user can select what object to see either through a menu or just simple icons. A powerful but simple addition to the Qlik Sense user interface. More advanced users (super users or developers) can use powerful expressions to control what object is shown based on values or selections in the application making the experience both guided and flexible.
Vizlib Container Box is part of the Vizlib Self-Service product suite, you can find out more about Self-Service by watching our product demonstration. You can also download the product catalogue here.
Vizlib Container Box features were created as a generic solution to allow for many different use cases. Tab labels allow an expression so it is possible to create more dynamic solutions and containers can be placed inside containers.
