How to add or change thumbnails for QlikView applications published in Qlik Sense Hub?

kdmarkee221 — Sat, 27 Aug 2022 09:23:29 GMT

Is there any way to add a nice thumbnail image to QlikView apps that are published to the Qlik Sense Hub?

I'm not finding any settings or any info online. It would be great to make them look nicer in the hub.

You should have the ability to change the thumbnail of an unplublished app, which you can then publish to the Hub. See Qlik Help entry Changing the thumbnail of an app for details.

It appears what you reference is for Qlik Sense apps, not QlikView apps published to the Qlik Sense hub. QlikView apps offer a thumbnail setting in Document Settings, but when an image is used it does transfer to the Qlik Sense Hub.

Are you also publishing the QlikView apps to a QlikView AccessPoint? If so, do you have a suitable thumbnail there?

You may want to open a case with Qlik Support

I did also publish the QlikView app to Access Point and the thumbnail works there. I'll submit a case I guess...not sure it is worth the headache, however.

Understandable, but this may be a defect and Qlik would definitely appreciate you bringing it to our attention. Thanks!

Hello all,

As what you publish in the Hub is the link to the QlikView document it might be the case that indeed is not possible to edit the thumbnail proprieties of such link.

So, it could be is working as expected and an idea on ideation would be needed.

Cheers,

Albert

Hello @kdmarkee221 ,

We have dig further on this and you cannot change the thumbnail per report, but you should be able to change it globally.

The file from the

C:\Program Files\Qlik\Sense\Client\hub\img\core\static

used is named - "Default-file-published.png" (edited) as you could inspect on the browser Dev Tools.

Cheers,

Albert

The file is actually Default-file-published.png. So I made the assumption that we should be able select a different image and name it with this file name and it will be used instead as the default thumbnail for QlikView Documents in Qlik Sense Hub and it did in fact work. Thanks.
