Publishing apps to cloud hubs with tags

You can publish apps to cloud hubs with tags to which you have write access. You do this at the same time as publishing to a stream. Apps that are already in a stream can also be published to cloud hubs with tags.

When an app is published to a stream in Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows, distribution policies created by your Qlik Sense administrator determine the target cloud hubs that will receive the app with tags using custom app properties. When publishing an app to a stream, you can set app properties that control the destination cloud hub and tags. You can also apply the app properties to a published app already in a stream. When you set these properties, Qlik Sense copies the app in the stream to the selected cloud hubs with the selected tags.

Once an app is published to a cloud hub, a tenant or analytics administrator can make the staged app available in a space in the cloud hub.

If your deployment has multiple cloud hubs, you will need to choose one.

Warning note To avoid exposing restricted data, remove all attached files with section access settings before publishing the app. Attached files are included when the app is published. If the published app is copied, the attached files are included in the copy. However, if section access restrictions have been applied to the attached data files, the section access settings are not retained when the files are copied, so users of the copied app will be able to see all the data in the attached files.

Publishing an app to cloud hubs with tags

Information note The tags and destination cloud hub custom properties are determined by your Qlik Sense administrator. The names may vary from the names used in this procedure.

Do the following:

  1. In Work in the Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows hub, right-click the app and then select Publish.

  2. In the Stream name drop-down list, select a stream.

    Information noteThere is no drop-down list if you only have access to one stream.
  3. Information noteIt is possible to publish many apps with identical names to a stream. Qlik Sense will indicate when there are published apps with the same name in a stream.
  4. Optionally, you can rename the app in the App name field. This field displays the name of the app that you selected from the hub.

  5. Click Manage.

  6. For Tags, select one or more tags from the list of values.

  7. Click Apply.

  8. Click Publish.

The published app is now staged in the cloud hub with the tags selected in the Manage properties dialog. The tenant administrator can add the staged app to a managed space.

Distributing a published app in a stream to cloud hubs with tags

Do the following:

  1. In a stream, right-click the app and select Manage properties.

  2. For Tags, select one or more tags from the list of values.

  3. Click Apply.

The published app is now staged in the cloud hub with the tags selected in the Manage properties dialog. The tenant administrator can add the staged app to a managed space.

Editing the tags of a published app

Do the following:

  1. In the stream, right-click the app and select Manage properties.

  2. Edit the tags as needed.

  3. Click Apply.

If a new tag was selected, the app will be distributed to the corresponding tenant.
