Changing the thumbnail of an app

You can replace the default thumbnail of an app with another thumbnail, to make it easier to distinguish between apps in the hub. You can use one of the default images, or an image of your own.

  1. In the app overview, click Edit in the app details area.
  2. Click Image on the default thumbnail.

    The Media library opens.

  3. Click on a folder in the media library, for example In app or Default.
  4. Select the image you want to use as a thumbnail for the app and click Insert.
  5. Click Checkmark to stop editing.

The image you selected is now used as a thumbnail for the app.

Tip noteThe optimal aspect ratio of a thumbnail is 8:5 (width:height).

The following formats are supported: .png, .jpg, .jpeg, and .gif.

For Qlik Sense: You can upload images to the In app folder in the media library. You need to use the Qlik Management Console to upload images to the default folder.

For Qlik Sense Desktop: You can place images in the following folder on your computer: C:\Users\<user>\Documents\Qlik\Sense\Content\Default. Images will be available in the default folder in the media library. When moving an app between installations, the images that you use in the app are saved in the qvf file together with the app. When you open the app in a new location, the images will be in the In app folder in the media library for the app.

Information noteYou can only change the thumbnail of an unpublished app.
Tip noteYou can open or close the app details area by clicking the app name in the navigation bar.
