"Sort by Applicability" Option Can Not Be Applied On Multibox Through Theme

Article Number: 000004366 | Last Modified: 2020/03/27

Description

The "Sort by Applicability" setting is enabled in a multibox theme. The setting does not get applied when theme is later applied on a multibox object

GENERATE MULTIBOX THEME

Right Click on Multibox
Go to Properties-> Layout-> Theme Maker
On Theme Maker Wizar screen, click Next
On Step1 screen, click Next
On Save As screen, Enter File name and click Save.
On step2 screen, tick "Object Type Specific" and click Next
On Step3a screen, tick "Multibox Sort by Applicability"
On Step4, click Next
On Step5, click Finish

APPLY MULTIBOX THEME

Right click Multibox
Go to Properties-> Layout->Apply Theme
Choose the theme file saved at above steps and press Open
Click OK to close object properties dialog
Right click Multibox
Go to General
"Sort by Applicability" is not enabled, even though added in multibox theme

Resolution

The generated QlikView Theme (QVT) file is an XML based file.

The XML tag SortByApplicability holds the failing settings, and is set to false even though the setting is enabled in the wizard.

<SortByApplicability>false</SortByApplicability>

A workaround for this issue, is to manually alter the QVT file, so that the SortByApplicability tag becomes true.
