Migrating report templates from older versions of Qlik NPrinting

Before you upgrade to a new version of Qlik NPrinting, you should export your projects so they can be imported into your new environment. The following versions of Qlik NPrinting can export project files (nsq) as zip files:.

  • Qlik NPrinting 15.6.0.0 and higher
  • Qlik NPrinting 16.0.0.0 and higher

In Qlik NPrinting Designer 17.0.0.2 or higher, you can import report templates from exported zip files.

Information noteThis process is for migrating report templates from an old version of Qlik NPrinting to a new one. To move reports between different environments using the same version of Qlik NPrinting, see: Moving reports between environments.
