Search Replace Rows

The Search Replace Rows tab is used to create search and replace rules for Qlik Sense application scripts and for scripts of converted QlikView documents to Qlik Sense. It is not necessary to use this for changing data connection scripts for Qlik Sense applications, as that is handled under [Data Connections](needs link).

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.

Description

A description of the search and replace pattern. This is optional, but can be useful for documentation purposes.

Pattern

The pattern to search for in all load scripts of selected Qlik Sense apps and converted QlikView documents. This can be a regex or simply a text string.

Search String

The string to search for inside the chosen Pattern in all load scripts of selected apps.

Replace String

The string to replace the Search String with in all load scripts of the selected apps.

Is Regex Pattern

Controls whether the Pattern should be treated as a regular expression. If toggled to No, the Pattern will be treated as plain text (escaped automatically). When toggled to Yes, this allows advanced search and replace functionality using regex.

Is Case Sensitive

Controls whether the search and replace operation should be case-sensitive. If toggled to Yes, the search will match the case of the Search String exactly. If toggled to No, the search will ignore case differences.

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.
