Developing applications for the Qlik Sense Client-Managed Mobile app

Use the Qlik Sense Client-Managed Mobile app to download and open Qlik Sense applications developed in Qlik Sense Enterprise. Consider the information below when developing or adapting an application for the Qlik Sense Client-Managed Mobile app.

Information noteFunctionality is limited for developing Qlik Sense applications using Qlik Sense Client-Managed Mobile.
Information noteTo develop an application, connect to a server and work on the online version of the application.

Complexity and size of the application

Consider the size and complexity of the application. The Qlik Sense Client-Managed Mobile app runs on a device with much lower CPU performance and available memory compared with a computer using a web browser to connect to a Qlik Sense Enterprise server.

We recommend that you test the application carefully in the Qlik Sense Client-Managed Mobile app before you publish it for consumers of the application. Perform tests on a device with system specifications that match those of your application consumer. Tests should include the following:

  • Download the application
  • Open the application
  • Make selections in the data

When the download of a Qlik Sense application is requested from the server, if the application is not ready for download in 90 seconds, the download is aborted.

Extensions

You can use extensions in your Qlik Sense application. The extensions are downloaded to the mobile device together with the application.

Extensions that require access to online resources will not work when there is no network connection. When there is a network connection, the extensions will work when the application is in online or offline mode.

Limitations

  • Server-side extensions are not supported.
  • Section access

    You can use section access to control which data is available to the user. As the data is dynamically reduced, the user still needs to download the entire app.

    Managing data security with Section Access

    Information note

    If you are locked out of an application after setting section access in Qlik Sense Client-Managed Mobile, open the application without data in a browser, and then edit the access section in the data load script. You must have access to edit and reload the data load script.

    Opening an application without data

    Limitations

    Qlik Sense Client-Managed Mobile does not support using OMIT.
