How to share bookmarks with other users in qlik sense

How to share bookmarks with other users in qlik sense

From my testing if the developer creates bookmarks before publishing that these bookmarks will show up for all users in a category called Base Bookmarks.

Any personal bookmarks show up in the category called My Bookmarks for that user.

This one took me a while to figure out if the App is already published (like how Qlikview works)... Since you might not want all users to share, you can set up a custom user type property. One user type could be called "Contributor" for example. Or you can use an AD group and make it stream specific as I have below. And then you could grant that user type the ability to publish sheets or stories to the community with bookmarks in a custom security rule. The security rules can get a little tricky, but it is possible. Here's how I did it..

Rule 1: OrdMgtReadPub

Actions:

Read, Publish

Resource Filter:

Stream_ID

Conditions:

((user.group="Order Mgt Contributors"))

Context:

Only in HUB

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rule 2: ReadAppObject

Actions:

Read

Resource Filter:

App.Object_*

Conditions:

!resource.App.stream.Empty() and resource.App.HasPrivilege("read") and (resource.objectType = "story" or resource.objectType = "bookmark" or resource.objectType = "snapshot" or resource.objectType = "embeddedsnapshot" or resource.objectType = "hiddenbookmark")

Context:

Only in Hub

If the security rules allow them to see bookmarks then they should see this category without having to do anything.

Easy enough to try.  Edit a sheet and create a bookmark.

Then publish to the hub and take a look.

This is all well and good but from my perspective, one shouldn't have to create bookmarks before publishing.  You should be able to share and email bookmarks in Sense as you can in View.

If you have savvy users, you can show them how to use the API.  See App Integration API and Single Integration API.  You can manually build the link and email it to others.  These API's can be found in the online help.
