Installation
The installation of the QlikView extension is covered in the QlikView Integration Tutorial.
Configuration
The Squirro iFrame extension object is configured by specifying the individual object parameters in the extension object. Note that some parameters are mandatory. The extension object translates the object parameters from QlikView to URL parameters. Find the complete reference documentation on the URL parameters at iFrame.
Item Filtering
Filters are applied on top of the context selection.
See Item Filtering for the complete reference documentation.
Created Before and After
Show only items that were created before or after a given date.
A valid Date
is mandatory.
Example
Assuming our dashboard has a Time-Date field. Select the first and last Date for the current selections in QlikView.
Date Format
Allows a date format to be specified.
An empty value uses the users locales to parse dates. Specifying a date format makes parsing consistent across systems with different locales.

For dashboards with more than one date format. The date can be formatted by QlikView. The QlikView Date
