Apps

Last updated: 2026-11-03

The Apps tab maps client-managed apps to be migrated to Qlik Cloud.

Including tasks

Select Include tasks to pull in each selected application's own reload tasks, and every chain that reaches them. An application row links to the tasks of that application on the Tasks tab, and back. A banner names the filter that is applied, and the Clear button removes the filter.

Cloud table columns

Status

Displays the current status of the object using visual indicators. One of three possible options:

  • Cloud: Object already exists in Qlik Cloud. Hover over the status to see the Qlik Cloud object information.
  • Warning: There is a setting that must be configured for a successful migration. Hover over the warning indicator to see the warning(s).
  • None: Row can be migrated successfully.

Name

The name of the app in the Qlik Cloud tenant.

App Owner

The owner of the app in the Qlik Cloud tenant.

Space Configuration

Set the space configuration for the app. This determines where the app will end up when migrated to Qlik Cloud.

When editing the row (see Actions below), two toggles appear: one for determining whether an app will land in a personal space or shared space, and one for determining if the app should be published when running the Publish Applications step. When editing, you can also configure additional managed spaces for publishing.

Export Type

The type of export to perform on the app.

  • With Data exports the app with data.
  • Without Data exports the app without data.

Export Scope

The object scope of the app to export. Objects refer to sheets, bookmarks, and stories.

  • All: All objects in the app.
  • Approved: Approved (public) objects only.
  • Published: Published (community and public) objects only.
Information note

On a Qlik Sense server released before May 2021 (product version below 14.20), an export scope cannot be applied. The plan locks Export Scope to All for every application: in this tab, in the bulk action, in the spreadsheet import, and on save. The reason is stated once at the top of the tab.

Shares

Select the users and groups that should have direct access to the app, without adding them to the space. If the available roles are insufficient, use space roles and permissions instead. To edit the shares, first edit the row (see Actions below), then click the gear icon in the row under Shares. A popup window will appear for setting the assignments.

The available spaces and roles appear as tabs along the top of the popup.

Assigning users or groups to a role in the popup

Do the following:

  1. Click the appropriate space and role at the top of the popup.
  2. Select the user(s)/group(s) you wish to assign to the role.
  3. Click Add.
  4. Repeat for other roles as needed.
  5. Click Save Changes when done.
  6. Click Save in the Actions column to confirm the changes.

Removing assignments to a role in the popup

Do the following:

  1. Click the appropriate space and role at the top of the popup.
  2. Select the user(s)/group(s) you wish to remove from the role.
  3. Click Remove.
  4. Repeat for other roles as needed.
  5. Click Save Changes when done.
  6. Click Save in the Actions column to confirm the changes.

Actions

Click Edit to make changes to the row metadata as it will appear in Qlik Cloud. Once complete, either click Save in the Actions column to save changes, or click Cancel to revert to the previous settings.

Tip note

To update object metadata at scale, select the rows you wish to edit and choose from actions under the Actions button at the top of the table, or apply changes using Excel export and import for bulk editing, advanced transformations, or updates generated outside the tool.
