NPrinting On Demand remove the 'New Report' button

mstoler — Wed, 06 Oct 2021 18:59:14 GMT

Hello,

With the on-demand button is there a way to remove the 'New Report' button?

I want to simplify the options for the users.

Thanks,

Michael

Yes there is, but it is not officially supported.

you go to QMC and export your qlik-on-demand-reporting extension
unzip the file
once unzipped - open and edit div.liu-dialog__footer file and comment out line which displays button
save file, and zip it all up again and import as your OnDemand extension. Important: You will need to remove the old extension though from QMC by deleting it (before you can import adjusted one). Make sure you have a backup of it!
Thats it:
Last thing to remember is extension bundles are automaticaly recreated (hence all above changes would be lost) every time you restart Qlik Sense services or Qlik Sense machine. To prevent it from happening you will have to naviagte to your Extension bundle folder (typically: C:\Program Files\Qlik\Sense\ExtensionBundles) and change file names to something like "xxxxxx.old". That will stop it from recreating itself with each Qlik Sense restart and changes you made in all above steps will not be overwritten

That's it.

Frankly there is not much you can break in there so despite the fact that this method is not officially supported you are not messing up too much or there is very slim chance you will break something.

cheers

Hello,

As an alternative to this can I create a new extension based on the on-demand and then customize the extension?

I would also like to add some colors to the buttons, etc.

Thanks,

Michael

Hi,

You can extend Qlik NPrinting by using its APIs explained here: https://help.qlik.com/en-US/nprinting/May2021/Content/NPrinting/Extending/Intro-Extending.htm The On-Demand uses those APIs.

About the requirements of Qlik Sense extensions refer to https://help.qlik.com/en-US/nprinting/May2021/Content/NPrinting/MultiDocument/Using-Sense-third-party-extensions.htm

Best Regards,

Ruggero
