Script to copy sheets from one Qlik Sense app to another using api

vinaysriharsha — Thu, 04 May 2017 06:51:49 GMT

Dear All,

We know that the is no direct option to copy a full sheet from one app to another. Is there any way to Copy a full sheet from one app to another app by using any script using API(eg QMC).

Regards,

Vinay Sri Harsha

You can achieve it using the Engine API (Qlik Engine API ‒ Qlik Sense) .Have a look at the App class (App class ‒ Qlik Sense) you need to call some getter to retrieve all the objects in a sheet and create new sheet with the same objects

A good method to start with is GetFullPropertyTree. Call that for the sheet and you will get all the visualizations with their properties. Also available in the javascript API.

Hope this helps

Hi, Vincenzo Esposito and Erik Wetterberg thanks for the quick reply. can you help me in understanding how the Qlik Engine API Explorer code works? or how to use the Engine API Explorer to create the code.

the API Explorer is a facility to getting start to know Engine API, and check how do they work, you can't actually use it to build your solutions
