Exporting Bookmarks in Qlikview Desktop

raynac — Mon, 03 Oct 2022 20:05:49 GMT

We deploy views to our client sites, where many of them use Qlikview Desktop to open the views, mine their data and create their own bookmarks to assist with that process.

We then sometimes enhance our views and re-issue them to our clients so they can avail of those enhancements, but they then have bookmarks which don't exist (obviously) in the new version.

Is there any way to export / transfer these client-created bookmarks without our clients having to start from scratch and recreate them?

Thanks for your help!

Hello ,

There is the export and import functionality of bookmarks in the links below. One thing to keep in mind is how drastically the new application has changed. Meaning if more than just a data refresh, but data structure changes.

Thank you so much! As someone who develops for the use of others, I had no idea that functionality was there but I am not sure how I missed it.
