Chatbox.qs v0.6
Chatbox.qs is a Qlik Sense extension that shows the messages in an app's data model as a conversation: message bubbles for each participant, in time order, for two people talking back and forth or for any number of them. Several conversations can sit side by side, a selection can bring back the whole of each conversation it touches, and the values of another field can be highlighted wherever they occur in the messages.
