Dynamic report names

Descriptive report names help your users quickly access the information they need.

Dynamic report naming allows you to set standard naming protocols with static and variable elements. Variable elements include date and time values, user data, and the values of QlikView and Qlik Sense variables.

For example, a sales report may have the static element SalesReport and the variable elements "date" and "top-selling product." It would be published to the NewsStand as: SalesReportNovember252017Pacifiers.xlsx.

You can also add custom fields. This is a good way to add corporate information, numerical codes, or hyphens to your report names.

Enabling dynamic naming

1. Select Reports in the Qlik NPrinting main menu, and then click Create report.
2. Enter the information for the report you want to create in the Title, Description, Type, and App fields.
3. Select the Enable dynamic naming check box.
4. The Dynamic Name section appears. This allows you to add or delete different elements to your report name. These field elements can be reordered using the sort-handles on the right.
5. When you have finished adding elements to the report name, click Create to create the report.
