Distribute your insights

Depending on your Qlik Sense Enterprise deployment, there are different ways to develop and publish applications.

You can develop an application by yourself and then publish it to a stream to make it available to consumers. If you are developing applications collaboratively, you can publish an application to a stream where reviewers and collaborators can add sheets and stories. You can then include these sheets and stories in the public content of your application before publishing it to a stream for consumers.

The following is a sample workflow for developing and publishing applications.

1. Publish your application to a Qlik Sense Enterprise review stream.

   When you have created a data-model and created visualizations in your application, you can publish to a stream dedicated for reviews so that other Qlik Sense Enterprise hub users can access, collaborate, and provide feedback.

   For more information on publishing applications, see Publishing an application from the hub.

2. Manage the collaborative development of the published application.

   Once the application is in the review stream, other developers can add sheets and stories to the application. Sheets and stories are private by default. However, developers can publish them as community sheets and stories to make them available to other users.

   As the application owner, you can add community sheets and stories to the public sheets and stories of your application. This enables the sheets and stories to be included when the application is duplicated or exported.

3. Manage your application properties.

   Qlik Sense administrators can create custom properties that are used for tasks such as limiting access to the application to certain users or groups. You can add these custom properties to your application in the hub.

   For more information on application properties, see Managing application properties.

4. Move your published application to a consumption stream.

   When you have completed the review and collaborative development of the application, you can move your published application to a consumption stream, where the target consumers can access the application.

   For information on moving an application between streams, see Publishing an application from the hub.

5. Republish the application.

   Optionally, republish the application to make any necessary updates to the published application, such as new public sheets or updates to the data model.

   For information on updating a published application, see Republishing an application from the hub.

6. Retire the application to an archive stream.

   When the application is no longer required, you can remove it from the consumption stream to an archive stream.
