Enabling and managing user reports and subscriptions

Only tenant admins can turn each of the Qlik Cloud reporting features on and off for the tenant. However, both tenant admins and analytics admins can turn individual subscriptions on and off, delete them, or change the owner of a subscription.

Prerequisites

To configure an in-app report task or subscribe to app content, the following are required:

  • The applicable reporting feature is turned on. Tenant admins can toggle the reporting and subscriptions features on or off in the Administration activity center, under Settings > Sharing and reports. See Enabling and disabling reporting, subscriptions, and sharing features .

  • An email server is configured for users to receive reports by email, see Configuring email for reports and notifications.

  • For report tasks, either an email server must be configured or the task must rely on a Microsoft SharePoint connection for report distribution. For subscriptions, users have an account email address.

User self-management of subscriptions

Users are not dependent on admins to subscribe to reports about charts and sheets. In the profile menu, under Subscriptions, users can see an overview of their subscriptions with different actions available. When a user creates a subscription, they become the owner. A subscription owner can add recipients.

For more information about creating and managing subscriptions, see Scheduling reports with subscriptions.

Administering report subscriptions

Tenant admins and analytics admins can edit users' in-app report tasks and subscriptions in the Administration activity center.

Do the following:

  1. In the Administration activity center, open Subscriptions.
  2. In the leftmost column, select one or more report tasks or subscriptions.

  3. Use the buttons to delete, disable, or enable the items.

Tip noteTo edit a single report task or subscription, you can use the Navigation menu. You can use this menu to change the owner.

In the Sent column, the status of the latest delivery is displayed. The following table shows the different statuses.
