Generating On-Demand reports in QlikView AccessPoint

On-Demand reports are created in the Qlik NPrinting window in the QlikView AccessPoint interface. The Qlik NPrinting window also displays completed reports for download and reports in queue.

When you create an On-Demand report, the report is added to the report creation queue on the Qlik NPrinting Server. Once a report is complete, it is stored in the Qlik NPrinting repository, but can be downloaded in QlikView. Reports can be accessed from the Qlik NPrinting window in QlikView AccessPoint until deleted. Reports and reports in queue are automatically deleted from the Qlik NPrinting Server after 30 days. Failed reports are deleted after 6 days.

You can access all reports enabled for On-Demand on the Qlik NPrinting Server, prepared on the QlikView document you are using in QlikView AccessPoint.
