Adding a thumbnail for an app

You can add your own thumbnail to replace an app’s default thumbnail. This will help you to distinguish between apps in the hub. The image files used for thumbnails are stored in the media folder.

Do the following:

  1. In the app overview, click @ in the app details area.
  2. Click Å on the default thumbnail.

    The media folder opens.

  3. Select the image you want to use as a thumbnail for the app and click Apply.
  4. Click @ again.

The image you selected is now used as a thumbnail for the app.

Tip noteThe optimal aspect ratio of a thumbnail is 8:5 (width:height).
Information note

For Qlik Sense: If the media folder is empty, or you want to add your own images, you need to use the Qlik Management Console to upload images to the media folder.

For Qlik Sense Desktop: If the media folder is empty, or you want to add your own images, you find the folder at: <user>\Documents\Qlik\Sense\Content\Default

The following formats are supported: .png, .jpg, .jpeg, and .gif.

If you want to revert to the default thumbnail, click E in the upper left corner of the thumbnail while editing the app details.

Information noteYou can only change the thumbnail of an unpublished app.
