Bookmark used to store the selection when you are analyzing a dashboard. Once you store the selection, you can check whenever you want.

In order to create bookmark, you need to make some selections in sheet. click on bookmark option in the menu, then add bookmark . Now this will be saved and it can be seen at anytime you open the dashboard.

This will helps in comparing different scenarios.

We have different type of bookmarks

1. Document Bookmark

It’s an integral property of the document.
Whoever opens the document (locally or from server) can see the Document bookmarks.

2. User Bookmark

It is specific to the user who created it as well as to the computer where it was created.If some other user opens the document it would not be available to him.
Also, if the document is moved or renamed, the bookmark won't be available.

3. My Server Bookmarks, Shared Server Bookmarks and My Temporary Bookmarks–Not available in personal edition. These bookmarks are sent via mail.

From the Help file:

Add Bookmark dialog
The current state of selections can be saved as a bookmark by choosing Add Bookmark from the Bookmarks menu or by pressing CTRL+B. Bookmarks can also be created via bookmark objects in the QlikView layout. Doing this will cause the Add Bookmarks dialog to appear. The dialog looks slightly different depending on whether you are working with a local document or with a document on QlikView Server. We start by describing the dialog for local documents, and then describe the differences for server documents.

Bookmark Name
The default name for the created bookmark is that of the current date. In addition, the first bookmark created on a specific day gets number 1, the second number 2, etc. However, you can change the default name to a more explanatory text by entering a name of your choice.

Make this bookmark a document bookmark
By marking the check box, the bookmark will be saved with the document. This option is available for local documents only. If the check box is not marked, the bookmark will be created as a user bookmark, stored locally on your computer.

Include Selections in Bookmark
By marking the check box the bookmark will include the selections made in the application.

Make bookmark apply on top of current selection
By marking the check box, the bookmark will be applied without first clearing existing selections in the document.

Include Layout State
By marking the check box, the bookmark will store information about the sheet from which it was created and the state of all sheet objects on that sheet at the time of the bookmark’s creation, including, for example, the expanded or collapsed state of a pivot table and the cycling position of a chart. When recalling a bookmark with layout information, QlikView will attempt to activate the sheet and restore sheet objects to that state.

Include Scroll Positions
Marking this check box will include the current scroll positions in the bookmark.

Include Input Field Values
By marking this check box, the values in input fields will be stored in the bookmark.

Info Text
In the edit box you may enter a text describing the bookmark or a message to be shown when recalling the bookmark.

Popup Message
If the check box is marked, the bookmark info text (if it exists) will be displayed in a pop-up window each time the bookmark is recalled.

The differences for server documents are as follows:

Create as a server bookmark
When this check box is marked, the bookmark will be created as a personal server bookmark, stored in a repository on the server. This option is available only if you are an authenticated user and provided that the QlikView Server and the document owner allows you to create server bookmarks.

If the check box is not marked, the bookmark will be created as a user bookmark, stored locally on your computer.

Share Bookmark with Others
Provided you create a personal server bookmark, marking this check box will immediately share the bookmark for use by other authenticated users of the same server document. You may at any time revoke the sharing by deselecting the Share check box in the My Server Bookmarks page of the Bookmarks dialog.

It saves the selections you have made so you can reselect them quickly in future.

It's useful where you want to filter the data down to a specific target.

when exploring data in QlikView, there comes a point where we want to

save our current selections to be able to return to them later. This is facilitated by the

bookmark option.

You can explore the bookmark types by yourself. If you expand the Bookmark menu in QlikView desktop, you will have an option called More:

If you explore the More... option, you will see the following screen:

By looking at this screen, you will have a fair idea of the answer. Point to be noted: I am using QlikView desktop personal edition which is not connected to any QlikView server. That is why I cannot see the other bookmark types, namely My Server Bookmarks, Shared Server Bookmarks and My Temporary Bookmarks(most probably, these are the bookmarks sent via email).

I can give you the difference between the displayed bookmarks but about the server bookmarks functionality, I can assume but I am not 100% sure and hence not commenting.

Document bookmark is like an integral property of the document. Whoever opens the document (locally or from srver) can see the Document bookmarks.

User bookmark is specific to the user who created it as well as to the computer where it was created. If some other user opens the document it would not be aailable to him. Also, if the document is moved or renamed, the bookmark won't be available.
