Engine API Explorer: CreateBookmark - Invalid

Anonymous — Fri, 13 Apr 2018 08:10:33 GMT

I'm trying to create a bookmark following the instructions given in the Qlik Sense documentation, but it shows an 'invalid' message (please, see pic below). I've read and tried everything but I cannot see the bookmark on my app.

I'm using Qlik Sense June 2017.

Could somebody suggest what I'm missing here?

Thanks a lot.

Hi,

The Invalid text means that the data for that object has been invalidated, so probably you have actually created a bookmark. Great calling getLayout or getAppLayout for the objects and they will be valid again.

Thanks for your help!

If I call getBookmarks I can see a list with all BM I've created, however, if I go the app I cannot see them.

Also, after calling getLayout the bookmark change to 'Valid' but it doesn't appear yet in the app.

I'm probably missing some basic step in the process...

Hi,

Probably the client needs some property that you have not set. Try checking what properties are set on bookmarks that are visible in the client.

Thanks again, it fixed the issue!

Just in case it helps to somebody else, I did the following:

I created one bookmark manually on the app
From the Engine API I called "GetLayout" on the bookmark I created and checked its properties
I found there were two parameters I didn't specified: "sheetId", "creationDate"
- "creationDate" is optional
Also noticed that "qType" must be 'bookmark' in lower case
I included them and now my bookmark shows up in my app

Request:

{

"handle": 1,

"method": "CreateBookmark",

"params": {

"qProp": {

"qInfo": {

"qId": "bm01",

"qType": "bookmark"

"qMetaDef": {

"title": "Test",

"description": ""

"sheetId": "l9h38ud1-62c8-3264-89m6-c3f15de2e20a"

}
