bookmarks extraction and structure

Fabiano_Martino_Intelco — Mon, 26 Jan 2026 18:19:17 GMT

Hi,

I have a QlikView deployment with 80 different apps.

In each app the users can save their bookmarks. Some are shared, while others are kept private.

I need to get a list of the bookmarks along with their content (in terms of saved selections).

In the QlikView QMC i can see the list, but i can't see the details.

How can I get this information?

Thanks

The QlikView Document Analyzer could serve as a useful starting point.

Hi @BrunPierre

thanks for your reply.

The QV Document Analyzer is a really useful tool.

I noticed it can analyse a qvw file.

My bookmarks are created in the QlikView Access Portal, so they are saved in the .shared file.

Is there an option to read the .shared file to recover the information?

Regards

Within the old Power Tools were a shared-file viewer and some repair-features. I din't know if they are further available and usable but it seems that there were also a newer tool, see:

The Power Tools contain the QvServerObjectConnector.

This connector can attach to a .shared file and extract the bookmark information, including the selections.

I was able to get the field names and the corresponding selected values.

Thanks
