Selection Bar Overview

Vizlib Selection Bar is the Swiss army knife of extensions, helping you make selections quickly and always displaying the result!

This horizontal selection bar has pre-selected values that allow fields, variables, and flags to be displayed. It is used in almost all our Qlik Sense applications and is the perfect way to create a nice toolbar.
