Creating a report using Qlik Sense third-party extensions
As of Qlik NPrinting June 2017, you can use Qlik Sense third-party extensions inside Qlik NPrinting reports as images, tables, and levels.
Requirements
As of the Qlik Sense June 2017 release, all objects that have been added to a sheet can be used as images. Qlik NPrinting does not distinguish between native visualizations and extensions. However, for a third-party extension to render correctly, the JavaScript implementation of the extension needs to fulfill certain requirements. In particular, the extension must implement the "finished rendering" notification.
A third-party extension can be used as a table if:
- The object contains exactly one hypercube.
- The hypercube is either straight or stacked.
A third-party extension can be used as a level if:
- The properties of the object contain exactly one hypercube.
- The hypercube is either straight or stacked.
- The hypercube has at least one dimension.
- The hypercube contains no calculated or grouped dimensions.
Qlik NPrinting does not support the exporting or printing of visualization extensions that use:
- External resources.
- External and undocumented JavaScript modules or APIs.
Setting up a "finished rendering" notification
To export your third-party extension as an image, you must use the paint method to inform Qlik NPrinting that the extension has finished rendering. Otherwise, you could have blank or partially rendered images.
