Set analytics selection state on qlik-embed

With qlik-embed, you can set the selection state for the embedded objects in your web application using the qlik-initial-selections element. In this example, you set the analytics application ID in the qlik-initial-selections tag and add <field> elements containing the field name and values to configure the selections.

  • Use the appid attribute in the qlik-initial-selections tag to specify the analytics application.
  • Use the name attribute in the <field> element to specify the actual field name in the analytics application. Dimensions are not supported.
  • Use the values attribute to specify the values to be selected within that field, formatted as a semicolon (;) delimited string.
  • Add more <field> tags to make selections in multiple fields.
<qlik-initial-selections app-id="<APP_ID_FROM_QLIK_ANALYTICS>">
  <field name="<FIELD_NAME_FROM_APP>" values="<FIELD_VALUE_OF_FIELD>;<FIELD_VALUE_OF_FIELD>"></field>
  <field name="<FIELD_NAME_FROM_APP>" values="<FIELD_VALUE_OF_FIELD>;<FIELD_VALUE_OF_FIELD>"></field>
</qlik-initial-selections>
