Introducing the New Layout Container - Tips, Tricks and Nuances

The layout container is useful when you want to build a custom display containing multiple charts as a single unit. Unlike the container, which uses tabs to cycle through charts, the layout container is a space where you are free to customize your own layout of the charts in the layout container. As the layout container offers sheet-like arrangement of visualizations, you can functionally store multiple sheets within a sheet that can be expanded for more detail.

Going home to Qlikview 😊 Reveals my age and my time with Qlik! Thanks, Mike. Awesome presentation as always...

[ozziepilot]

Very cool, users often ask for objects that slightly overlay or infringe each other, now it can be done elegantly.

Waiting for a longgg time to present the dashboard better, way to it. Thanks @mike

I image a huge update in the future, where the layout container will be the sheet itself.

I love this, it makes the layout much more versatile. Is there a release date for Enterprise?

[KeyBorg]

This is awesome! Is this available in the on prem version? We're not cloud based...yet...

[MrVurtan]

Just came in my mind as I saw the "reorder" function. I assume you use the z-index css property for that. Could that value directly editable via an input field which can also be a formula?

Mike - Is there a reason Qlik is not making this default behaviour and introducing this as a container visual? Its well known this is a much demanded feature that can unlock really beautiful layouts and styling elements and is a bit of a drawback compared to the Tableau/PBIs of the world.

How does this interact with a mobile display. I can imagine some issues overlaying a KPI on a Line Chart when visualizing on a desktop vs. say a phone.

Can you conditionally show/hide objects?

Everything is fine but why Layout Container don't work in Trellis Container?
