HI,

attached to this post NPrinting 16 Training & Installation/Upgrade Information you can find the NPrintingTraining zip file. It contains some .nsq files that you can use for your tests.

Hi Vibhu,

You can save the .nsq file anywhere as you wish. When you create a task, you don't need to specify the .nsq file path.

You just need to specify the path where the output needs be stored.

Can you please share us screenshots where you are seeing the issue.

After you finish your scheduled jobs and you want to exit out of nprinting and you save your entire work. that is when you save your nsq file.

Nsq file is a collaborative file, where you create your word/excel/ppt/pixel files or simply create a recipient.

ok. so does that mean I can create task and set scheduler without nsq?

No, you can't. Once the task is created, you create your nsq file.

Have you created any reports?

Re: Creating Task in NPrinting

Wed, 24 Aug 2016 19:16:47 GMT

yes, we have existing qlik reports

Re: Creating Task in NPrinting

Stephen_Jasionowski — Wed, 24 Aug 2016 20:07:23 GMT

Reports that were developed in QlikView or in NPrinting?

Re: Creating Task in NPrinting

Qlikview

Re: Creating Task in NPrinting

Those reports don't automatically get loaded into NPrinting.

You need to create a QV Entity report and use the report ID from QlikView (this will have a prefix of 'RP'). Then you will be able to add it to an NPrinting task.

See the following: Creating entity reports ‒ Qlik NPrinting

Vibhu -

The NPrintingTraining folder is if you are using the .zip file that Giuseppe posted containing sample .nsqs.

You will need to create that folder on the C drive and unzip it's contents there in order for the relative paths to work.

When you are creating your own .nsqs, they can be stored in a directory of your choice.
