Working with report templates in the Qlik Sense app

In the Templates tab of the Reporting section of an app, you can manage all report templates you have added to the app, and upload new ones.

With the Qlik add-in for Microsoft Excel, create templates for your report tasks. You upload them here for use in report tasks.

Creating report templates

For specific details about how to create a report template using the Qlik add-in for Microsoft Excel, see Building report templates with the Qlik add-in for Microsoft Excel and related topics.

Uploading a report template

Upload multiple templates into the app for use in the various report tasks you create. When you create the report template, it is specific to the app you are creating for, and cannot be used for other apps.

Do the following:

1. In a Qlik Sense app, open the Reporting section and go to the Templates Tab.

2. Click Upload template.

3. Click Browse. Browse for a template file and add it.

Managing your templates

For a template listed in the Templates tab, click the icon to access the following options:

• Rename template

• Upload a new version of the same template

• Download template

• Delete template

Section access considerations

If the app uses section access, report generation works differently. For more information, see Tabular reporting and section access.
