Sheet Navigation + Actions visualization extension for Qlik Sense.
The Visualization Extension sense-navigation for Qlik Sense allows you to add a button to a Qlik Sense sheet to navigate in your app:
- Go to first sheet
- Go to next sheet
- Go to previous sheet
- Go to last sheet
- Go to a sheet
- Go to a sheet (defined by sheet Id)
- Go to a story
- Open a website / eMail
- Switch to the Edit mode
The button can be easily styled nicely by selecting some of the predefined designs (Leonardo UI or Bootstrap) or modified with your custom CSS.
Furthermore sense-navigation offers the option to define a chain of 1-n actions which will be executed before the navigation happens.
For example:
- Apply a bookmark
- Clear selections
- Lock selections
- Unlock selections
- Select value(s) in a field
- Select alternatives
- Select possible values in a field
- Set a variable value
See here for a complete list of all available 20 actions.
Note: The main difference between version 0.x and 1.x of sense-navigation is that with v1.x you can define a chain of unlimited actions instead of just two.
⚠️ Do not download the entire Github repository, this will not work!- Download the latest version version (or any other version you want to install).
- Then install on either Qlik Sense Desktop or Qlik Sense Server:
- Qlik Sense Desktop
- To install, unzip all files and copy the content to the folder folder
"C:\Users\%USERNAME%\Documents\Qlik\Sense\Extensions\sense-navigation"
- To install, unzip all files and copy the content to the folder folder
- Qlik Sense Server
- See instructions how to import an extension on Qlik Sense Server
If you are running into any troubles, see here for some FAQs.
- I have unfortunately bad news: All versions < 1.x of sense-navigation are completely incompatible with version v1.x!
- If you upgrade to v1.x, you will have to
- First uninstall the old sense-navigation extension (delete the folder in Qlik Sense Desktop or use QMC in Qlik Sense Server to remove the extension)
- First install the new version of sense-navigation.
- Delete existing old instances of sense-navigation object in your apps.
- Add it again to your sheets and apply the previous configurations.
See here for more information what v1.x gives you and whether you should upgrade or not.
Version v8.x of sense-navigation is available here.
sense-navigation offers various options to define the layout of a button:
There are several predefined styles available, you can choose from:
Every button can also include an icon. You can chose from a list of 851 available icons:
- Icon library Fontawesome icons: 675 icons
- Icon library Leonardo UI icons: 176 icons
Buttons can also chose a predefined style/theme based based on a custom expression:
If you want to have full freedom over designing your button, just use your custom CSS:
Result:
Drag & drop the object onto a sheet (as you would do it with any other native object or visualization extension). Then define how the sense-navigation should behave:

sense-navigation it built to be used within the Qlik Sense Client. Any usage in a mashup-based solution might work, but there are many features in sense-navigation which can just never work in a mashup-based solution (e.g. "Go to next sheet", "Go to edit mode", etc.). So use sense-navigation in a mashup-based solution only at your own risk!
If you want use & modify the extension in DevHub, do the following:
- Use the file
./build/*_dev.zip, this always represents the latest development build (so no minimized/uglified files, etc.)
