Using applications in shared spaces

Applications can be created, developed, and shared with other members of Qlik Cloud Analytics in a shared space.

Applications can be created and developed in a similar way to how applications are created and shared in a personal space. Depending on your space permissions and your user entitlement, you can create and develop applications in the space. If you have Can view permission, you can only view the applications in the space.

For a detailed view of what you can do with applications based on your permission and user entitlement, see Managing permissions in shared spaces.

Creating applications in a shared space

Users can create or upload applications in a shared space by going to the Create page of the Analytics activity center and clicking Analytics app or Upload. You can also create analytic applications from Analyze in Analytics or by clicking Create new in Catalog. You cannot duplicate applications to a space, but you can move applications to a space.

Tags you add to an application are shared with other members of Qlik Cloud, but only if they have access to your application.

Data connections and data files can be created, modified, and deleted by users with Can edit and Can edit data in applications permissions in a shared space.

Application owners with Can edit and Can edit data in applications permission can read, write, and load data connections and load scripts in Data manager or Data load editor in their own applications. They can also create data connections to external sources and load data from those connections. Users with Can edit data in applications permissions can also edit load scripts in so in other users' applications.

The DataFiles connection for a shared space is created automatically and cannot be removed while the space is still available to a user.

You can create on-demand selection applications in a shared space. Selection applications and template applications must be in the same space. For more information, see Creating an on-demand selection application.

For more information about creating applications, see Creating applications and adding data.

Adding data sources in shared spaces

Users with Can edit, Can edit data in applications, or Can manage permissions can add data sources to shared spaces. Data sources can be used by other members of the space.

For information, see Adding and managing your analytics data.

Adding content to applications in shared spaces

Users with Can edit, Can edit data in applications, or Can manage permissions can add sheets, stories, and bookmarks to applications in the shared space. Sheets, stories, and bookmarks added to the application are private. Only the creator of the private content can see it in the application. When they are ready to be shared, the creator makes them public.

For information, see Granting access to sheets, sheet groups, bookmarks, and stories.

Only the space owner can edit data in the application, but other shared space members can create, edit, and delete:

• Master items
• Variables
• Media library content

Shared space members with Owner, Can edit, Can edit data in applications, or Can manage permissions can modify the following application properties:

• Selected theme
• Enable right-to-left reading order
• Setting a bookmark as application default
• Sheet title styling

Reloading applications in a shared space

Users with Owner, Can manage, Can edit, or Can edit data in applications permissions can manually reload applications and create scheduled reloads for applications in the space.

Moving applications between spaces

You can move applications between shared spaces as well as between a shared space and a personal space.

If you create an application in a shared space, the data connections related to it will stay in that space, even if the application moves. For example, you create an application called QuarterlyAnalysis in the Data Team shared space. If you move QuarterlyAnalysis to a different shared space, the data connections will remain in the Data Team shared space. If the data needs to be edited or reloaded, it must be done by a user with Can edit or Can edit data in applications roles in the Data Team shared space. The same would apply if you created an application in a personal space and moved it to a shared space.

If you move an application with a reload schedule between spaces, the reload schedule is deleted. Recreate the schedule in the new space if required.

Moving applications from an activity center

Do the following:

1. In your activity center, click on the application and select Manage > Move to space.
2. Select the new space from Space.
3. To open the new space, select Navigate to space.
4. Click Move.

Movement of data connections

Once a data connection has been created in a space, it is not possible to move the connection to another space unless you have access to the Administration activity center as a tenant admin, analytics admin, or data admin. To move an existing data connection to another space, contact an administrator or create a new connection in the desired space with the same settings as the existing connection.

For documentation about how an administrator can move a connection, see Moving data connections.

Duplicating applications in a shared space

You can duplicate applications in a shared space.

Do the following:

• Click on the application and select Manage > Duplicate.

Do the following:

• Click on the application and select Download > Download or Download without data.
