How to change the root folder?

[#1]

Hello Everyone,

Can someone guide me through the correct process of changing the Root folder.

The reports currently sitting in the root folder are obsolete and I do not want to show them on the access point anymore. However, I do not want to delete them. I have reports in the mounted folders that I want to show.

Questions:

What would be the impact if I change the Root folder, for e.g., change it to an empty folder?

By doing the above, would it affect user access?

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

Hi Awais

I think is better that you move the QVWs to another folder intead of changing the root folder.

There isnt an impact if you change the root folder but I dont recomend that

You can change it in this section Root Folder and clik Apply

I agree with Herbert.

We have our distribution folder set to D:\Qlikview.  That same drive also has a D:\Archive folder which holds the older content (prior versions, etc..) and is not visible to our customers.

Thank you Herbert and John!

I moved the qvw files to a different folder while keeping the same root folder - it worked.
