Folders

On the Folders tab, the paths to the documents and temporary files for clustering and load balancing, can be configured.

Information noteThe root folder for the user documents in the QlikView Server (QVS) and the source folder for the source documents in the QlikView Distribution Service (QDS) should never use the same folder path.
