I have created this visualization extension to make it easy to create themable KPI tiles without having to create a custom visualization extension all the time.

You can create your own themes by just modifying a simple .json file (see below for further explanation).

Note:

This extension has some basic built-in logic to be responsive but is by far not that responsive as the native KPI object of Qlik Sense.

1. Download the latest version
2. Qlik Sense Desktop

• To install, copy all files in the .zip file to folder "C:\Users[%Username%]\Documents\Qlik\Sense\Extensions\ThemableKpiTile"

• Qlik Sense Server
  • See instructions how to import an extension on Qlik Sense Server

You can use the following properties to define the behavior of this visualization extension:

For every Themable KPI Tile the following options can be set:

• KPI title - The title of your KPI
• KPI - The KPI, any numeric or dual value
• KPI comparison (numeric value) - The numeric value which is relevant to render the positive, negative or neutral color & icon defined in the template.
• KPI comparison (displayed value) - Put the formatted comparison value here (use e.g. Qlik's num method).

Choose either the Default Layout, Custom Layout or choose one of the Templates.

You can add additional templates by modifying the layouts.json file, located under ./config/ by adding new layouts as follows:

"orange": {
    "name": "Orange",
    "tileBackgroundColor": "#FFB304",
    "titleColor": "#fff",
    "comparisonPositiveColor": "#006600",
    "comparisonNegativeColor": "#CC0000",
    "comparisonNeutralColor": "#333",
    "comparisonPositiveIcon": "▲",
    "comparisonNegativeIcon": "▼",
    "comparisonNeutralIcon": "▶"
  }

In case of choosing "Custom Layout" the following settings can be used:

• Title Background Color - Any valid hex color
• Title Color - Any valid hex color
• KPI Color - Any valid hex color
• Comparison Color - Any valid hex color

Contributing to this project is welcome. The process to do so is outlined below:

1. Create a fork of the project
2. Work on whatever bug or feature you wish
3. Create a pull request (PR)

I cannot guarantee that I will merge all PRs but I will evaluate them all.
