Creating HTML reports
The following shows how to create an HTML with levels. It assumes that you are familiar with common Qlik NPrinting design features. HTML reports support most Qlik Sense objects. See: Working with Qlik objects
We are going to embed images of two QlikView objects in an HTML report, and then add a level and the level variable tag as the label to the HTML report. The resulting report will be produced with an appropriate title and images in a frame for each of three years.
Creating a new HTML report
Do the following:
- Select Reports in the Qlik NPrinting main menu, and then click Create report.
- Enter a Title for the report, for example: HTML Report (Sales).
- Select HTML from the Type drop-down list.
- Select an app from the App drop-down list. For example, select Sales Demo.
-
Select a Template from the options available:
- Empty template - uses an empty template
- Default template - use the default template (only available if a default template has been set in Report settings. See Load an Office, HTML or PixelPerfect file as a template
- Custom - Choose a file to use as a template.
- Click Create to create the report.
Selecting connections and objects to add
Do the following:
- Click Edit template to open the Template Editor.
- Right-click the Images node, and then select Add objects.
- Select the objects. In this case, select CH184 and CH320.
- Click OK.
- Drag and drop the CH320 and CH184 tokens onto lines between the <body> and </body> tags.
- Add lines as necessary, and add some block element tags such as <p>, <table>, or <div> for layout management and inline style elements, as shown in the next section.
Preview and save
Do the following:
- Click Preview.
- Check the report, close it, and then edit the template again if necessary.
- Click Save and Close to save the template and close the Template Editor.

Opening the select levels window
You can produce an HTML report with levels. For example, to produce a level that cycles through each year, do the following:
- Right-click the Levels node, and then select Add levels.
- Select Year from the levels list.
- Click OK.
- Expand the Levels node.
-
Drag and drop the Year_Level node token onto a line between the <body> and </body> tags.
Add lines if necessary.
- Arrange the %%Year_Level%% line before the elements that you want to be included in the level cycle, and the %%Year_Level%% line after the elements that you want to be included in the level cycle.
- Expand the Year_Level node.
-
Drag and drop the Year node token onto a line between the %%Year_Level%% and the %%Year_Level%% lines.
- Add inline style elements. See the code examples below.
The result is three new lines, %%Year_Level%%, %%/Year_Level%%, and a blank line between the lines.
Preview and save
Do the following:
- Click Preview.
- Check the report, close it, and then edit the template again if necessary.
- Click Save and Close to save the template and close the Template Editor.
