Troubleshooting - Creating apps

This section describes problems that can occur when creating apps and visualizations in Qlik Sense.

Images are not included in an app that has been moved from one Qlik Sense environment to another

Possible cause  

You have created an app in Qlik Sense and moved the app to another Qlik Sense environment.

When you move apps between Qlik Sense environments, images may not have been moved automatically. The images have to be handled manually, in different ways depending on between which environments the app has been moved.

Proposed action  

Import the images from the Qlik Sense environment where the app was created to the target location using the Qlik Management Console.

For more information, see Manage Qlik Sense sites: Uploading objects to content libraries.

Images are not included in an app that has been imported from Qlik Sense Desktop to Qlik Sense

Possible cause  

You have created an app in Qlik Sense Desktop and imported the app to Qlik Sense.

When you move apps between Qlik Sense environments, images may not have been moved automatically. The images have to be handled manually, in different ways depending on between which environments the app has been moved.

Proposed action  

Import the images from the images folder of the Qlik Sense Desktop app using the Qlik Management Console.

For more information, see Manage Qlik Sense sites: Uploading objects to content libraries.

The default location of the images in Qlik Sense Desktop is <user>\Documents\Qlik\Sense\Content\Default.

Images are not included in an app that has been moved from one Qlik Sense Desktop installation to another

Possible cause  

You have moved an app between Qlik Sense Desktop installations.

When you move apps between Qlik Sense environments, images may not have been moved automatically. The images have to be handled manually, in different ways depending on between which environments the app has been moved.

Proposed action  

Do the following:

• Copy the images from the PC where the app was created and paste into the images folder of the target location.

The default location of the images in Qlik Sense Desktop is <user>\Documents\Qlik\Sense\Content\Default.

The image I want to use does not seem to work

Images are part of apps as thumbnails of the apps, sheets and stories, in the text & image object and in story slides.

Possible cause  

You are using an image in a format that is not supported.

Proposed action  

Do the following:

• Convert the image to one of the supported formats (png, jpg, jpeg or gif).

Using insights advisor impacts system performance

Insight advisor uses master items as fields in recommended charts.

Possible cause  

The charts generated by the insight advisor are choosing fields that end up with costly charts.

Proposed action  

Do the following:

• Change what fields are exposed to published app users.
