NPrinting and sizing with HTML

Auréli — Fri, 14 Apr 2023 06:01:57 GMT

Hello

Previously under NPrinting with QlikView, I generated my html report without problem. My report was displayed with a scroll bar.
From now on, if I create an HTML report with a QlikSense application, my image is the size of my screen, I cannot display my entire report and have this scroll bar.

How do I view my entire QlikSense report?

Properties of my QlikSense sheet:

NPrinting Model :

Thank you.

It is as if NPrinting did not take into account the following QlikSense parameter:

Ahh ok...

Well - have you checked documentation? https://help.qlik.com/en-US/nprinting/May2022/Content/NPrinting/QlikViewEntityReports/Embed-QV-Sheet-Report-Temp.htm#anchor-1

It say that extended sheets are not supported!

Also if your report does not fit on one page maybe you need to design it differently - using HTML and Tables and individual objects. Sending image of the sheet is just very basic form which obviously has limitations.

Hi,

Did you check the following help site page https://help.qlik.com/en-US/nprinting/May2022/Content/NPrinting/ReportsDevelopment/Image-Dimension-Management.htm?

QlikView and Qlik Sense are different products and each one manages images in a different way.

Ohhh... I did not notice that there was QlikView vs Qlik Sense part in the question which now obviously clarifies everything 🤣🤣🤣.. hahaha. Of course those will work completely different as one is pixel perfect and another responsive design with restrictions...

This is not QlikView vs QlikSense but We are forced to switch to QlikSense and I would like to have the same things under QlikSense and not lose what was done before...

Hi,

QlikView and Qlik Sense are different products with different behaviors that sometimes influence the interaction with Qlik NPrinting. For example, exporting objects as images in reports. Therefore, we created the documentation page I linked before, highlighting the differences.

Best Regards,

Well, who forces you to switch? At the end it is your company decision and such change should obviously factor for additional required development because at the end it is QlikView vs Qlik Sense change.

Those are 2 totally different tools (when it comes to technology and visualisations) and they work differently with NPrinting because of the way images are generated.

When decision was made to do the change NPrinting reports should be checked and amount of effort to migrate them should be calculated by experienced NPrinting developer - was that done?

NPrinting developer needs to know those differences and take them into account when migrating from QlikView to Qlik Sense NPrinting reports. Dropping an image of the whole sheet maybe was a solution in QlikView but in Qlik Sense that obviously works differently and may require different approach, so as a person who does NPrinting development you need to take those differences into account.

Statement that you" would expect to have the same things " when using Qlik Sense can be achieved, but will require different approach due to above mentioned factors. Different approach may mean that you need to dig deep into proper HTML (or any other template) development.
