Setting a default bookmark to create an application landing page

You can select a sheet to be the landing page of your application by setting a default bookmark. When you open the application, the layout state and the selection state of the default bookmark are used.

If you do not set a default bookmark, the application overview is displayed when the application is opened.

Consider the following when using default bookmarks.

  • You can only set one default bookmark for an application.
  • You can clear the selection of the default bookmark when viewing a sheet. However, the bookmark will be applied when you re-open or reload the sheet.
  • When you duplicate an application, the default bookmark is duplicated with the application.
  • If you have the same application open in an active session in another tab, the default bookmark will not override the selections made in the other tab.

For more information about bookmarks, see Bookmarking selections.

You can use a default bookmark in conjunction with the Always one selected value for a field to highlight specific selections for your application consumer. For more information about the Always one selected value, see Always one selected value.

Information noteIn previous versions of Qlik Sense, the default bookmark would only apply the selection state of the bookmark.
