How to hide QlikViews in AccessPoint?

We have some qlikviews that will be accessed directly via the URL of its AJAXZFC document. These documents are loaded and distributed via Publisher.

We don't want that these QlikViews are visible in the AccessPoint for anybody. They have to be accessed only via the URL.

Do you know how to do it?

Kind regards,

Kim

As far I know, the only way to hide a documenti in Access Point is to deny access to the user(s) to the phisical file from within Windows.

I don't know if this is feasible in your case.

You have to use security ACL or mount document folder and unflag "Browse" flag.

I would like to figure this out also. I tried adding the subfolder with the QVWs that I wanted to hide, unchecked "Browsable", according to Corrado's suggestion, and it didn't have any effect. It would be nice to be able to do it from the QEMC interface without messing around with file system permissions.

I just tried setting DENY to "QlikView Administrators" on a file's permissions within Windows Explorer on the server. It didn't hide the file from my logged in user which is in the "QlikView Administrators" group. Rather, it removed the hyperlink from the thumbnail, and is now displaying "Missing Image" where the thumbnail of the app used to be. It's still showing up in AccessPoint with the filename.

Hi,

I've already open a case to QV Support.

Hi,

Thanks for all your answers.

So, it seems that there is no chance to hide the document in AccessPoint.

Hi,

The visibility of documents in AccessPoint should be controlled by the NTFS permissions on the documents.

I have one Admin account (A) and one user account (B). If I take a vanilla QVS 9 SR2 installation and change the file permissions on Films.qvw to only have the group Administrators listed then user B can't see Films.qvw on the AccessPoint and this is the intended way.

The browsable checkbox controls whether the folder is browsable in the qvp popup dialog, for example when using Open in server or when accessing qvp://servername through a browser to open documents via plugin.

If you are using DMS, it appears all you have to do is go onto the Qlikview Server and check the hidden flag in the properties of the file to make it invisible on the Accesspoint without losing the ability to connect.

UPDATE: Unfortunately, when you redistribute the file, the hidden attribute is removed from the file.

I have been searching for an answer to this issue and came across this old posting.

Has anyone found a neat solution?

Presumably AccessPoint points to a 'root' directory. Is it possible to keep other QV documents in another folder and just transfer them when they are to be available from Access Point ?

Hi Joaquim

As far as I know, root folder will always be browsable, so if u have apps there, they will be on the access point. If u don´t want it to be like that, change the folder.

Most of the time when we create apps, we make extraction folder, transformations folder unbrowsable, and we set the dashboard to root folder or another folder but browsable.

I´ll load an image of itas an example.

Cheers

Richard,

Not a problem, and yes, sometimes u have to dive into your system to find out what´s going on and into the community as well. I believe that this is the best way to learn, practicing.

Cheers.

It follows ACL structure, if you have root C:\Documents\Root

And then add a mount as C:\Documents\Root\AnotherFolder and the idea is not to show these docs, it wont work, it inherits rights.

So as Nelson pointed out, create a structure that do not include root folder path
