How to enable screenshots in mashup?

Take screenshot of a single chart object

There is no change to the method of taking screenshot of a single object. However, a new option to set the background color is given. The default color is white and it has to be in hexa color code.

Take screen shot of the full page

There is a new option called Container Identifier. The DOM object element that has the entire page content has to be set here. The default value is ".qvt-sheet". The container can be identified either using the class name or the id name. If its the class name, then it has to preced with a . (dot). If its an id, then the value must precede with a # (hash).

You can generate one copy of the extension for screenshot within the Qlik native app. And another one for the mashups.

Grouping a visualizations in the mashup

If you like to take screenshots by each section in the mashup, you can identify all those sections with a specific class name. Doing so, the extension will create separate screenshots for each sections, all at once.

Download all visualizations at once, separately

If you like to download all visualization separately all at once, you can set the class name to ".qv-object"

Remove Watermark
