If you want to make your applications available to users who do not have access to the Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows hub, you can publish them to a cloud hub.
In a multi-cloud enabled Qlik Sense Enterprise deployment, your Qlik Sense administrator creates distribution policies in QMC. The Qlik Sense administrator then creates streams for your applications. When you publish or move an application to a stream with distribution policy application properties applied, Qlik Sense copies the application to the cloud hub. In the cloud hub, the application is staged. The tenant or analytics administrator then makes the staged application available in a managed space in the cloud hub.
Staged applications
In Qlik Sense SaaS, applications without owners that are not in spaces are called staged applications. When an application is published to a cloud hub from Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows, it will not have an owner or space. A tenant or analytics administrator can assign it to a managed space from the Administration activity center.
For more information on managing staged applications in Administration, see Managing applications.
Tags
If you want to use tags in applications that are distributed from Client-Managed Qlik Sense to Qlik Cloud, you need to create a custom property called Tags and then add appropriate values that can be used when distributing the application. If a distributed application has a tag value Sales, that value is synced with the cloud application and visible in the application details. If a distributed application doesn't have any tag value, the displayed value in the application details is empty.
Streams and tags
The Qlik Sense administrator can have a distribution policy that distributes published applications with added application properties with one or more tags to a cloud hub.
When an application is published to a stream in Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows, distribution policies determine the target cloud hubs that will receive the application with the tags. You can set application properties that control the destination cloud hub and tags when publishing in the Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows hub. Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows copies the application from the stream to the cloud hub with the tags whenever you publish. The destination for each distribution is controlled by distribution policies managed by your Qlik Sense administrator.
Applications can be published to only one stream, but they can be published with multiple tags to multiple cloud hubs.
Your administrator can see the time of the last sync in the stream properties.
Depending on your organization you may prefer to move applications to an archive stream with no distribution policy instead of just removing the application.
Tagged applications can be modified in Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows hub, like an application in any other Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows stream. In Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows hub. You can:
- Duplicate applications in the stream.
- Republish the application in the stream.
- Manage application custom properties.
- Open the application in Published.
In an open application in Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows, you can:
- Publish and unpublish personal sheets and stories.
- Add public sheets and stories to the application or remove them from the application.
