When you save an application that you have created in Qlik Sense Desktop, the images included in the application are bundled together with the rest of the contents of the application. This makes it easier to share an application with another person, or to move the application to another computer.
You can move an application that you have created in Qlik Sense Desktop, including its images, to another computer with Qlik Sense Desktop, for example by e-mailing the application.
Moving an application created in your current installation of Qlik Sense Desktop
If the application is created in your current installation of Qlik Sense Desktop, the images in the application are automatically bundled together with the rest of the contents of the application.
Do the following:
- Create an application using Qlik Sense Desktop.
- Save the application.
- Locate the application on your hard drive. The default location is <user>\Documents\Qlik\Sense\Apps.
- Copy the application to, for example, a portable device.
- Paste the application in the Apps folder on another computer with Qlik Sense Desktop.
The application is now available from the hub.
Moving an application created in an older installation of Qlik Sense Desktop
If your application was created in an older version of Qlik Sense Desktop, prior to version 2.0, the images in the application are not bundled together with the rest of the contents of the application. You must open and save the application before the application is moved.
Do the following:
- Open the application using the new version of Qlik Sense Desktop.
- Make a change in the application.
-
Save the application.
Now the images included in the application are bundled together with the rest of the contents of the application.
- Locate the application on your hard drive. The default location is <user>\Documents\Qlik\Sense\Apps.
- Copy the application to, for example, a portable device.
- Paste the application in the Apps folder on another computer with Qlik Sense Desktop.
The application is now available from the hub.
Moving an application to another Qlik Sense platform
You can move an application created in Qlik Sense Desktop to a different Qlik Sense environment, for example Qlik Sense Enterprise. To move the application you will have to copy it to your computer, and then upload the application to the Qlik Sense environment of your choosing.
The application will be available from the hub.
For more information on how to move applications between Qlik Sense platforms see Publishing between Qlik Sense platforms.
If you move a Qlik Sense Desktop application to a Qlik Sense environment, you need to handle the images separately. The same applies when moving an application that was created using Qlik Sense.
