Changing the thumbnail of an app

You can replace the default thumbnail of an app with another thumbnail, to make it easier to distinguish between apps in the hub. You can use one of the default images, or an image of your own. If you are using Qlik Sense Desktop, you can also use bundled images saved in the qvf file.

Do the following:

  1. In the app overview, click @ in the app details area.
  2. Click 0 on the default thumbnail.

    A folder with images opens.If you are using Qlik Sense Desktop, you find bundled images in the media folder.

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

For Qlik Sense Desktop: If the folder is empty, or you want to add your own images, you find the folder at: <user>\Documents\Qlik\Sense\Content\Default. Bundled images are not stored in this folder, they are saved in the qvf file together with the rest of the contents of the app.

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Information noteYou can only change the thumbnail of an unpublished app.
