Connecting to Qlik Sense from the Qlik Sense Mobile app

When you install and launch the Qlik Sense Mobile app for the first time you are prompted to select either the Qlik Sense demo server or a Qlik Sense Enterprise server to connect to.

The Qlik Sense demo server is hosted by Qlik, and allows you to view and download apps. You can connect to the Qlik Sense demo server without Qlik Sense Enterprise account credentials.

Information noteYou must connect to the Qlik Sense demo server at least once while online before you can access content while offline.

To connect to a Qlik Sense Enterprise server, you must log in with your with your Qlik Sense Enterprise account credentials. Before you can connect to a Qlik Sense server and log in with your Qlik Sense Enterprise account credentials from the Qlik Sense Mobile app you will need to authenticate your credentials against the Qlik Sense Enterprise server.

The Qlik Sense Enterprise authentication link must be generated by your administrator in the Qlik Management Console. Your Qlik Sense administrator will provide you with information about how you can receive the link using one of the following methods:

  • Retrieving the authentication link from your Qlik Sense Enterprise hub
  • Receiving the authentication link from your administrator
