Hi Magdalena,

In QlikView Management console, you go to Setup>QlikView Servers > and under performance tab, you can set Session time

You can also set session timeouts on the document level in Document Properties > Server. Are these maybe set to 30 minutes?

Hi,

Can you show a screen shot of what you have set? Are you using IIS?

Could be that the Webserver session needs to be increased.

Are you using IIS or QlikView Webserver?

If you are using QlikView Webserver, you can increase the value in C:\ProgramData\QlikTech\WebServer\config.xml

Regarding not being able to save the file.

If you stop the Webserver service and then try to save it?

Otherwise you have to ask someone that has modification rights on the machine

Hi,

You can copy the file to you desktop amend it there and replace the file from desktop to your orignal destination.

Make sure you have a copy of your original file.
