App overview

When you open an app from the hub, you arrive at the app overview. This is where you see and manage all the content within the app. The content of the main area depends on what category you have selected: sheets, bookmarks, or stories.

If the hub has been disabled by your administrator, you arrive at the app overview when Qlik Sense starts up.

You find content that is part of the published app in the upper part of the main area. You cannot add any content to the base part of the published app. Your private content is displayed under My sheets/My bookmarks/My stories. Depending on access rights, you may be allowed to publish your private content so that other users of the app can explore it.

Information notePublishing is not supported in Qlik Sense Desktop, which means that you only see your private content in the hub when using Qlik Sense Desktop.

A: The toolbar

The toolbar contains the navigation menu, the global menu, and the app name.
UI item Description

Global menu.

You can select App overview or Open hub. However, you cannot open the hub if it has been disabled by your administrator,

In an unpublished app, you can select Data manager, Data load editor, or Data model viewer.

In a published app, you cannot select Data manager or Data load editor. This is because you cannot add data to a published app. However, if you are the owner of a published app, you can select Data model viewer.

Your other available selections depend on whether you select the Data, Analysis, or Story tab in the top toolbar.

For example, you can add data from the global menu after you select the Data tab. You can download, delete, or duplicate a sheet after you select the Analysis tab, and so on.

Additionally, you can select the online Help, Qlik Sense About, and enable Touch screen mode.

For more information about tabbed browsing and the global menu, see Navigating using tabs.
