Storage

This section describes where the Qlik Sense apps are stored.

Information noteFor a Qlik Sense app to run, it must be stored in the repository database.

Default storage

By default, a Qlik Sense app is stored as follows:

  • Repository database: Contains the app structure, including the paths to the binary files in the local file system.
  • Local file system: Stores the app data as binary files. The files are by default stored in %ProgramData%\Qlik\Sense\Apps, but the path can be configured in the Qlik Management Console (QMC).

Portable format

A Qlik Sense app can be stored in the local file system in the proprietary .qvf format, which is a portable format.

A single app is stored as <App name>.qvf.
