Creating entity reports

You can create and distribute output from QlikView reports and objects you have already created. The available output depends upon your QlikView reports and objects:

  • If you are using a QlikView object like a chart or sheet, the output can only be an image file.
  • If you imported a QlikView object such as a chart or sheet, the output can only be in PDF or TIFF format.

You can also add filters to dynamically select the data which is published in the report.

You can distribute all types of objects.

Create new QlikView entity report

Do the following:

  1. Select Reports in the Qlik NPrinting main menu, and then click Create report.
  2. Enter a Title for the report, for example: Sales by country.
  3. Select QlikEntity from the Type drop-down list.

    Related fields appear.

  4. Select an app from the App drop-down list. For example, select Sales Demo.
  5. Select the Connection. For example, select Sales Demo.
  6. Open the Qlik object id drop-down list, and then select CH304 to export it.
  7. Leave the Enable check box selected.

    If you clear the check box, the report will be ignored by the scheduler.

  8. Click Create to save the report in the repository.

You cannot run a Preview of an entity report.
