Managing apps

The user can create an app from the Qlik Sensehub (if the user has the appropriate access rights). Apps are published to streams from the QMC (used in server deployments of Qlik Sense). If you want to publish an app that is created in a Qlik Sense Desktop installation it must first be imported, using the QMC. The security rules applied to the app, stream or user determine who can access the content and what the user is allowed to do. The app is locked when published. Content can be added to a published app via the Qlik Sensehub in a server deployment, but content that was published with the original app cannot be edited.

You can only publish apps that are unpublished:

• If you want to publish an app to more than one stream you must first create a duplicate of the app.
• If you want to republish an app, create a duplicate of the published app, edit the duplicate and publish it.Use the option Replace existing if you want to replace a published app.

When importing an app that is created in a local installation of Qlik Sense, the data connection storage can differ between the environment where the app is created and the server environment. If so, the data connection properties Name and Connection string must be updated to match the server environment. Before publishing the app, check the app in My work in the hub.
