App Overview Images Differ

Mon, 24 Jul 2017 19:01:12 GMT

Why on one of our servers do I see the following representation for all of the sheets in the App Overview....

...and yet on another server I see the following (more useful) image which anticipates the sheet content?

Thanks

Hi Bill,

In you first sheet/ screen shot I think none of the visualization is added so this will be the default view of any sheet.

Once you added at least one visualization the view will be just like 2nd screen shot.

You can set image to all of your sheets individually.

- Run the application.

- Once one sheet executed.

-Right side of the sheet you will able to see the image selection. Once none of the object is selected.

- you can upload the image or use default images.

Thanks!

Let me guess - the first one is pulished and the second is not?

The best way to take it under control is to use sheets screenshot as thumbnail (Changing the thumbnail of a sheet ‒ Qlik Sense). There's an extension to automate it, but I haven't tested it.

Amalesh,

This is the identical app on 2 different servers.

The preview of a sheet with the grey symbols showing types of visual is so helpful. Too bad it disappears when an app is published. I find maintaining these images tedious. I may try the extension, but better yet why doesn't Qlik just automate this?
