Creating content libraries

A content library is a storage that enables the Qlik Sense users to add shared contents to their apps.

The user who creates the content library automatically becomes the owner of that library. The library and the library objects can be shared with others through security rules defined in the QMC.

Do the following:

1. Open the QMC: https://<QPS server name>/qmc

2. Select Content libraries on the QMC start page or from the Start drop-down menu to display the overview.

3. Click Create new in the action bar.

4. Edit the properties.

   Tip note You can display or hide property groups using the panel to the far right.

   Click Apply to save your changes. If a mandatory field is empty, Apply is disabled.

5. Click Apply in the action bar to create and save the content library.

   The Create security rule dialog opens.

6. Edit the security rule for administrative access of the content library:

   1. Edit the Identification properties:

   Identification fields and values

   Field	Value
   Name	Enter the name of the content library. Mandatory.
   Disabled	Select to disable the rule. The rule is enabled by default.
   Description	Enter a description for the rule.

   2. Create the conditions for the rule in the Basic section:

      • Select which actions the rule should apply for.
      • Use the drop downs to create a condition that specifies which users the rule will apply to.
      • Click to add a condition. When using multiple conditions, you can group two conditions by clicking Group. After the conditions have been grouped, you have the option Ungroup. Additional subgrouping options are Split and Join. The default operator between conditions is OR. You can change this in the operator drop-down list. Multiple conditions are grouped so that AND is superior to OR.

      Operator descriptions
