Publishing applications to cloud hubs with tags

You can publish applications to cloud hubs with tags to which you have write access. You do this at the same time as publishing to a stream. Applications that are already in a stream can also be published to cloud hubs with tags.

When an application is published to a stream in Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows, distribution policies created by your Qlik Sense administrator determine the target cloud hubs that will receive the application with tags using custom application properties. When publishing an application to a stream, you can set application properties that control the destination cloud hub and tags. You can also apply the application properties to a published application already in a stream. When you set these properties, Qlik Sense copies the application in the stream to the selected cloud hubs with the selected tags.

Once an application is published to a cloud hub, a tenant or analytics administrator can make the staged application available in a space in the cloud hub.

If your deployment has multiple cloud hubs, you will need to choose one.

Warning note To avoid exposing restricted data, remove all attached files with section access settings before publishing the application. Attached files are included when the application is published. If the published application is copied, the attached files are included in the copy. However, if section access restrictions have been applied to the attached data files, the section access settings are not retained when the files are copied, so users of the copied application will be able to see all the data in the attached files.

Publishing an application to cloud hubs with tags

Information note The tags and destination cloud hub custom properties are determined by your Qlik Sense administrator. The names may vary from the names used in this procedure.

Do the following:

  1. In Work in the Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows hub, right-click the application and then select Publish.

  2. In the Stream name drop-down list, select a stream.

    Information noteThere is no drop-down list if you only have access to one stream.
  3. Information noteIt is possible to publish many applications with identical names to a stream. Qlik Sense will indicate when there are published applications with the same name in a stream.
  4. Optionally, you can rename the application in the App name field. This field displays the name of the application that you selected from the hub.

  5. Click Manage.

  6. For Tags, select one or more tags from the list of values.

  7. Click Apply.

  8. Click Publish.

The published application is now staged in the cloud hub with the tags selected in the Manage properties dialog. The tenant administrator can add the staged application to a managed space.

Distributing a published application in a stream to cloud hubs with tags

Do the following:

  1. In a stream, right-click the application and select Manage properties.

  2. For Tags, select one or more tags from the list of values.

  3. Click Apply.

The published application is now staged in the cloud hub with the tags selected in the Manage properties dialog. The tenant administrator can add the staged application to a managed space.

Editing the tags of a published application

Do the following:

  1. In the stream, right-click the application and select Manage properties.

  2. Edit the tags as needed.

  3. Click Apply.

If a new tag was selected, the application will be distributed to the corresponding tenant.
