Apps
A Qlik Sense app is a task-specific, purpose-built application. The user who creates an app is automatically designated as the owner of the app. An app can be reused, modified and shared with others.
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 also duplicate, reload, import or delete an app from the QMC.
The Apps overview lists all the available apps. You can manage your apps by performing a number of actions, as described in the following:
Name | The name of the app. |
Owner | The owner of the app. |
Published | The date the app was published. |
Stream | The stream that the app is published to. |
Tags | The QMC tags that are connected to the app. |

Filtering columns: Click to open a dialog and filter the list based on that column and your filter criteria as you type. Click to remove the filter. Click outside of the filter dialog (or press the keyboard key "Esc") to close the dialog. The filter icon is inverted when a filter is applied to a column . You can apply filters to multiple columns to narrow your search. |
