Loading data into Qlik Sense

This section describes how to load data into your Qlik Sense application, which is done by executing load scripts.

The load script connects a Qlik Sense app to a data source and loads data form the data source into the Qlik Sense app. When you have loaded the data it is available to the app for analysis.

Getting a new script

You can get a new, empty script with localized information

Example: Get a new empty script with localized information

            string localizationScript = application.GetEmptyScript();

Creating a custom script

You can create a new custom script from scratch.

Example: Creating a new custom script from scratch

            string newScript = localizationScript + "LOAD RowNo() AS value, 1 AS myDimension AUTOGENERATE 300;";

Setting a script

After you have gotten your script or created a new script, you can set the current Qlik Sense application script.

Example: Set the current Qlik Sense application script

            application.SetScript(newScript);

Getting the current application script

You can get the current script stored in the application.

Example: Get the current script stored in the Qlik Sense app

            string currentScript = application.GetScript();

Loading data

After the script has been set, you must reload the data by executing the current application script.

Example: Reload script

            var didReload = application.DoReload();
