Exporting apps

You can export apps. For example, you might want to use the app in a local version of Qlik Sense or export the app to another Qlik Sense site. The exported app is saved in the default download folder of your web browser.

Do the following:

1. Select Apps on the QMC start page or from the StartS drop-down menu to display the overview.

2. Select the app that you want to export.

3. Click More actions in the far right of the action bar.

   A pop-up menu opens.

4. Click Export in the pop-up menu.

   The Ongoing transports dialog opens. Any other transports initiated by you are also displayed in the dialog.

   There is a maximum limit for simultaneous transports, and if the maximum is reached an error message is displayed.

   • A spinner is displayed during the file export. Duration shows you how long the export has been ongoing. When the file export is complete, m is displayed and the browser automatically starts to download the app to the default download folder of your web browser.

     Warning noteDo not close or logout from the QMC before the export and the download has finished; if you do the export cannot be completed and the app (qvf file) is lost.

   • Click E if you want to cancel the export.

     è and Aborted is displayed and the export stops.

   • Click OK if you wish to remove a failed item è.

     The item is removed from the Ongoing transports dialog.

   When the export and file download has finished, m is displayed. When all your transports have finished successfully the Ongoing transports dialog closes.If there are any failed transports the dialog is displayed until the overview page is refreshed.

You now have exported an app qvf file to the default download folder of your web browser.

Moving apps with ODBC data connections

If you move an app between Qlik Sense sites/Qlik Sense Desktop installations, data connections are included. If the app contains ODBC data connections, you need to make sure that the related ODBC data sources exist on the new deployment as well. The ODBC data sources need to be named and configured identically, and point to the same databases or files.
