Leavers and Bookmarks

rajeshvaswani77 — Wed, 10 Sep 2014 08:01:33 GMT

Hi Community,

We have a large user base. Each of the user has created bookmarks. The bookmark file size shoots up quite a lot.

When a user leaves the organization the bookmark stays and becomes obsolete.

Is there a default mechanism in place that can be used to remove leaver bookmarks in QlikView?

What happens to shared book marks?

Suppose X is a team lead who shared a bookmark with Y.

Y leaves the organization. Does this bookmark share contribute to the config file? Is the removal of this shared book mark for Y possible without disturbing anything else?

thanks,

Rajesh Vaswani

Note : We use custom authentication, an external application manages the user management.

As far as I know it's not possible to remove single objects from the .shared file: Re: Shared Objects - Bookmarks

Hi Gysbert,

From the QEMC though we can delete the bookmarks.

There is a server object handler, server object batch handler in the power tools that allows filtering and deleting the bookmarks.

thanks,

Hi Rajesh,

There is no such automate way to delete objects.

I can think of using power tool or deleting objects from QEMC itself.

You can vote this idea

or can create new idea for the same.
