Qlik Sense .NET SDK: How to save layout when creating a bookmark

ludmillab — Mon, 31 May 2021 13:35:22 GMT

Dear all,

We have implemented saving a bookmark in our C# .NET application:

using var app = location.App(appIdentifier, session); var metadef = new NxMetaDef(); metadef.Set("title", title); metadef.Set("description", description); var createBMResult = app.CreateGenericBookmark( new GenericBookmarkProperties { Info = new NxInfo { Id = string.Empty, Type = "bookmark" }, MetaDef = metadef }); var bookmark = app.GetGenericBookmark(createBMResult.Info.Id); bookmark.Publish();

We would like to also save the layout with the bookmark. How do we achieve this?
(When creating a bookmark in Qlik you can check the alternative "Save layout". How is this done programmatically?)

I found a solution that works:

using var app = location.App(appIdentifier, session); var metadef = new NxMetaDef(); metadef.Set("title", title); metadef.Set("description", description); // Get the sheet object and its layout and object ids of objects in layout var sheetObject = (Sheet)app.GetObject<GenericObject (sheetId); var sheetLayout = sheetObject.Layout; var idsOfObjectsInSheetLayout = sheetLayout.Cells.Select(x => x.Name); var createBMResult = app.CreateBookmarkEx( new GenericBookmarkProperties { Info = new NxInfo { Id = string.Empty, Type = "bookmark" }, MetaDef = metadef }, idsOfObjectsInSheetLayout);

Hello @ludmillab

Glad to see that you could find a solution.

That is correct.

CreateGenericBookmark (.NET SDK) / CreateBookmark (Engine API) do not save the layout.

CreateBookmarkEx (.NET SDK) / CreateBookmarkEx (Engine API) will save the layout.
