Hi,

Its the default nature of Qlikview, its will always take the last saved format for the display in Access point.

Always save the application with the home page which you to appear in the access point.

Go to Document Properties > Opening > Document Thumbnail and browse for an image if you want to have a static thumbnail. You will need to create the image file beforehand. I find this is more reliable than using the Opening Sheet option, but of course it isn't dynamic.

Hi,

as the other have said, the default will be for the document thumbnail to be the opening sheet view, so save on the sheet you want to be displayed. You also have the option of changing this default to a specific image instead (as seen below)

hope that helps

Hi,

I don't think its possible, the above option will show the image once you open the application but that icon will not be showed in the access point.

It does work because I have some of my older dashboards set up this way, however it isn't working for me on a test one I just did. I'm wondering if it's a caching issue - I'll try restaring the services on my test server and see if it fixes it and get back to you.

ya i know but if you save your application to Home page and clear last state after use then it will show you home page as thumbneil

Okay, it wasn't a caching issue. In my test I was picking up an image from my desktop and it doesn't like that, but if I put the same image into the same directory as the test qvw it picks it up okay. If your qvw isn't too big, you can open it up in notepad or similar and search for 'thumbnails' in the xml sections. If it shows THUMBNAIL_NONE then it has not worked. It should show THUMBNAIL_IMAGE.

You can determine the optimum thumbnail image size by right-clicking the thumbnails in your Accesspoint and clicking properties. The sizes differ from grid and list view (when expanding) so it is tricky to get an image to look right in both.

One issue I found with using the Opening Page as the thumbnail option is that it can be a bit random. I tried setting all my apps to show a splash screen with a consistent layout (i.e same objects in size and placement but with differing text and colouring) but it scaled them down differently, plus it shows the tabs on multiple rows and it looks like the number of rows causes scaling issues. Also when other developers opened it on their machines to amend and re-upload, the scaling changed again.
