New Folder Functionality

crichter14 — Wed, 19 Mar 2025 21:46:28 GMT

So I was really happy to see that Qlik Cloud was going to allow us to create folders. I have some historical data QVD's on Prem that I moved to the Cloud and put in a Shared Space, in their own folder. There's a lot of these and I wanted to segregate them so they are grouped together.

Now I'm trying to access those QVD's in the Load Editor and I get this message

"An Error Occurred

Cannot open the following file '{{lib://Survey History/File1.QVD}}' Check to confirm that the file is available and that you have permission to access it."

I created the folder, I added the file. Is there some step I need to take to access my data? What's the trick to it?

Thanks!

Hi,

It seems like you're missing the "spacename:DataFiles" part. The path must be something like this example [lib://TeamSharedSpace:DataFiles/SalesAnalysis/orders.qvd]

Same issue here as well. Seems to be when using Select Data in the Load Script, it doesn't recognise the folder structure anymore, it just shows all files in the space (see below as example)?

You can manually get around it by hardcoding the path, but does appear to be a bug from the looks of it?

That's what I did! I was thinking it over last night. In the folder it looks like I don't have a folder, there's a list of the files. So I picked a file that was working and added the folder name to the file path (Survey History) and was able to do it manually. I asked our partner about it and he's pretty sure that's not what is supposed to happen so he's also logging a ticket to Qlik.

At least we have a work around!

Yes same here so this is a bug, folder structure is gone so need to script manually - hopefully fixed soon
