\"QlikAnother brand new AnyChart Qlik plugin<\/a> feature has arrived: Now it is possible to change the default settings in the configuration file<\/strong> of our\u00a0Qlik extension for data visualization!<\/p>\n

AnyChart Qlik plugin’s configuration file allows you to\u00a0apply the default settings\u00a0to\u00a0all charts<\/strong> and dashboards created by\u00a0the extension\u00a0and customize them, which\u00a0is impossible to achieve in the chart editor itself.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Configuration File Overview<\/h2>\n

In the desktop version of Qlik Sense, the configuration file for our plugin is named config.js<\/em>. You can find it in the folder\u00a0located at:
\n…\\Users\\\\Documents\\Qlik\\Sense\\Extensions\\AnyChart-Qlik<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The file’s default content is as follows:<\/p>\n

define([], function() {\r\n  return {\r\n    credits: {\r\n      \/\/ You may customize the following settings only if a valid license key is provided.\r\n      \/\/ Otherwise, your changes will be ignored.\r\n\r\n      \/\/ enabled: true,\r\n      \/\/ text: \"\",\r\n      \/\/ url: \"\",\r\n      \/\/ logoSrc: \"\",\r\n\r\n      licenseKey: \"\"\r\n    },\r\n\r\n    localization: {\r\n      \/\/ inputLocale: \"\",\r\n      \/\/ outputLocale: \"\",\r\n      \/\/ inputDateTimeFormat: \"\",\r\n      \/\/ outputDateFormat: \"\",\r\n      \/\/ outputDateTimeFormat: \"\",\r\n      \/\/ outputTimeFormat: \"\",\r\n      \/\/ outputTimezone: \"\"\r\n    },\r\n\r\n    defaultTheme: \"\",\r\n\r\n    settings: {\r\n      \/\/ These values determine the height of the hypercube (num rows on the data page).\r\n      \/\/ maxDimensions * maxMeasures should be less than 10,000\r\n      maxDimensions: 5,\r\n      maxMeasures: 15\r\n    }\r\n  };\r\n});\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
The default chart settings can be\u00a0defined in this configuration file, and they\u00a0will be applied to all the charts in\u00a0your Qlik Sense project.<\/p>\n
Next, let’s\u00a0look into what you can set in the configuration file.<\/p>\n
Available Settings<\/h2>\n
(1) \u0421redits and License Key<\/h3>\n
Put your license key in the licenseKey<\/em> property and set up credits as follows:<\/p>\n
credits: {\r\nenabled: true, \/\/ put \"false\" to disable credits\r\ntext:  \"Your company name\",\r\nlicenseKey: \"YOUR-LICENSE-KEY\"\r\n}\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
(2) Localization<\/h3>\n
Uncomment a property and specify a date\/time pattern, locale, or timezone offset. Each field has a string value and is set according to the\u00a0chart localization documentation<\/a>.<\/p>\n
(3) Chart\u00a0Design Theme<\/h3>\n
Put the name of one of the pre-built chart design\u00a0themes<\/a> you want to use into the defaultTheme<\/em> field, and it will be applied to all your charts.<\/p>\n
You can change the default theme in Qlik in the General Theming<\/em> tab.<\/p>\n
Here is how the default theme is set:<\/p>\n
defaultTheme: \"darkBlue\"\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
For example, if\u00a0you set darkBlue<\/em> as the default theme, all the line charts\u00a0you have will\u00a0look as follows:<\/p>\n
\"Dark<\/p>\n
Qlik Extension Configuration File: Wrap-Up<\/h2>\n
Please be careful with the Settings<\/em> section and only\u00a0modify the things you clearly understand. It is easy to break all the charts in your project if you make any mistake here.<\/p>\n
IMPORTANT: All changes in the configuration file are applied to the charts only after you restart Qlik Sense Desktop or Qlik Enterprise.<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
