Copying a visualization from an existing visualization

You can copy a visualization:

  • Within the same sheet.
  • Between sheets in the same app.
  • Between sheets belonging to different apps (see Considerations for more information).
  1. While editing a sheet, click on the item you want to copy.

    The item is highlighted.

  2. On the edit bar, click Copy.

  3. To insert the item on another sheet, navigate to the sheet in the assets panel.

  4. Click Paste to paste the item.

The copied item is added to the sheet.

Information note

Depending on what situation you are in, different things will happen when you paste the copied visualization on a sheet:

  • If a visualization is selected, then the selected visualization will be replaced.
  • If no visualization is selected, then the pasted visualization will be placed in the largest empty space.
  • If there is no empty space, then the largest visualization on the sheet will be split in half to make space for the pasted visualization.

Considerations

  • For a copied visualization to work in a different app, the same dimensions and measures have to be a part of the target app as well.

  • When copying visualizations between two apps, the apps must exist in the same deployment of Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows.

  • You cannot copy and paste visualizations between different environment types (for example, between an app in Qlik Cloud Analytics and an app in Qlik Sense Desktop).
