Selections menu

The Selections menu is a drop-down menu at the top of the screen, and contains the following commands:

Each Back will take one step further back in the list. This command can also be invoked by the following keyboard shortcut: Shift+Left arrow.
  • Forward: Reverts to the logical state before a Back command. Toggle between two states by alternating between the Back and Forward commands. This command can also be invoked by the following keyboard shortcut: Shift + Right arrow.
  • Lock: Locks all the current value selections. This command can also be invoked by the following keyboard shortcut: Ctrl+Shift+L.
  • Unlock: Unlocks all the currently locked value selections. This command can also be invoked by the following keyboard shortcut: Ctrl+Shift+U.
  • Clear: Applies the start selection of a QlikView document, which can be configured, see Set Clear State below. This command can also be invoked by the following keyboard shortcut: Ctrl+Shift+D.
