Adding embedded sheets to the story

Multiple sheets can be added to the story and the following section deals with the steps involved.

Getting ready

As in the previous recipe, we will again make use of the Automotive.qvf Qlik Sense application:

  1. Open the Automotive.qvf application from the Qlik Sense hub.
  2. Next, open the Sales Overview story, which was created in the previous recipe by clicking Getting ready on the toolbar.

How to do it…

  1. In the story view, click on the How to do it… image at the bottom left corner of the storyboard.
  2. Select either Sheet left-aligned or Sheet from the Add slide pop up:
    How to do it…
  3. A slide with a sheet placeholder is added to the screen. Next, click on Select Sheet and select the In-use overview sheet from the dialog box, as shown in the following screenshot:
    How to do it…
  4. Save the file by clicking on the How to do it… button.
  5. The story can be played as a presentation by clicking on the How to do it… button on the left-hand side vertical pane.

How it works…

When we embed a sheet into our story, it places all the contents of the desired sheet on the slide. The embedded sheet always has the same set of selections as the sheet in the sheet view.

There's more…

When we play the story, you will observe that we have two buttons at the top of the embedded sheet slide, namely There's more… and There's more…. Selections can be made on the embedded sheet by clicking on each individual object. The There's more… button clears the selections and the There's more… option takes the user back to the original sheet where new snapshots of objects can be taken. The There's more… button is also available in the edit-mode of the embedded sheet.

We can add effects and images to the story using the Effects and Media library, which is available in the storytelling view.
