Filters in reports and tasks

jasmina_karcic — Thu, 30 Aug 2018 13:56:27 GMT

Hi experts,

If I make a report and in template editor don't use table, instead of that I use cells, can filter work?

Thanks,

Jasmina

The message: "File cannot be opened." seems not related to filters but it is too generic.

Add some details about what are you doing.

Nothing special,

I was trying to put a filter for this report, so I can choose date what I want, and generate report for this date. This is working for report that I made with tables.

But this report, where started problem, it is just a table with maybe 300 cells. Because of shape of report I couldn't use ready table from QS. I used cells.

And something went wrong.

But interesting, maybe is not about filters, maybe about something other, because these filters I didn't attached to original report and task. Just I made copy of this report, and a created a new task for this report, and here I attached filters that I created.

But for some reasons...after this what I made, report cannot be generated.

Now I restarted services, and I reloaded app, started task...but again the same problem...

😕

Template editor is February 2018, NP is April 2018..., QS is April 2018...

It was working normally to yesterday. pff

Don't ask me for a new version.

I will wait september, for a new. heheh

Hi,

"Template editor is February 2018, NP is April 2018"

The Designer must be at the same version of the Server, so you must install Designer April 2018.

To solve the issue about columns order you have to try to (in June 2018 or September 2018):

- switch two or more columns in the original app

- move back the columns to the right place

- regenerate the Qlik NPrinting Connection cache

This forces Qlik Sense to write some internal information that manage the columns order during their export. As result Qlik NPrinting will be able to display them in the correct order.

The option applies Qlik Sense section access. More details are in https://help.qlik.com/en-US/sense/June2018/Subsystems/Hub/Content/Scripting/Security/manage-security-with-section-access…. You don't need this if you are not using section access in the original app.

Best Regards,

Ruggero
