https://community.qlik.com/t5/Member-Articles/Qlikview-Variable-and-Group-Manager-Application/ta-p/1655733 <P>Hello,</P><P>I had a need to keep my Variable and Group information in external files for better security. I had once lost my variables when they were just stored in the QVW file.</P><P>Anyway, I created an application using the Electron framework to manage my variable and group information.</P><P>If any of you have a similar need and would like to give my application a try, I would appreciate it, as I could use more eyes on it for testing and suggestions to make the application more robust.</P><P>You can download the installation executable from github here: <A href="https://github.com/analytixncs/qlikview-utility/releases/tag/0.1.0-alpha" target="_self">https://github.com/analytixncs/qlikview-utility/releases/tag/0.1.0-alpha</A></P><P>You can take a look at the source and build it yourself from this repository: <A href="https://github.com/analytixncs/qlikview-utility" target="_self">https://github.com/analytixncs/qlikview-utility</A></P><P>The basic idea is to store the variable and group information in JSON files and then export it to either JSON or XML. I use XML, since Qlikview (which I am using) doesn't have native JSON import functionality.</P><P>There is not much documentation (see the github repository readme), but it is pretty straightforward and you can contact me with any questions at markmccoid@gmail.com.</P><P>When you install, there is some sample data so you can see what the end result is before you spend a bunch of time entering your own data.</P><P>Here are a couple of screenshots of the application:</P><P><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-center" image-alt="MainScreen.png" style="width: 886px;"><img src="https://community.qlik.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/25208i9A8A79BCB6640121/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;px=999" role="button" title="MainScreen.png" alt="MainScreen.png" /></span></P><P>&nbsp;</P><P><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-center" image-alt="VariableScreen.png" style="width: 886px;"><img src="https://community.qlik.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/25209i733E88A11F9364AA/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;px=999" role="button" title="VariableScreen.png" alt="VariableScreen.png" /></span></P><P>&nbsp;</P><P><SPAN>Thanks,</SPAN></P><P>Mark</P> Wed, 21 Sep 2022 17:07:35 GMT markmccoid 2022-09-21T17:07:35Z https://community.qlik.com/t5/Member-Articles/Qlikview-Variable-and-Group-Manager-Application/ta-p/1655733 <P>An application (Windows EXE) that will help you manage your Variables and/or Groups for your Qlik applications.&nbsp; I created this because spreadsheets became difficult to manage as the number of applications and variables grew.</P><P>Once your Variables/Groups are entered, they can be export in either JSON or XML format for importing into your Qlik applications.</P> Wed, 21 Sep 2022 17:07:35 GMT https://community.qlik.com/t5/Member-Articles/Qlikview-Variable-and-Group-Manager-Application/ta-p/1655733 markmccoid 2022-09-21T17:07:35Z
