Download .qvw file on button click

Hi,

I have a QlikView .qvw file and that will be published to the server.

When user clicks on a button in accesspoint file, then that .qvw file should download to the users.

How can we achieve this?

Enable the Download Document option in the QMC. Then copy the download url and use it in an Open Url action.

Hi Gysbert,

Thanks for the reply.

They need to download the file on button click, not on the accesspoint link directly.

I knew about this option.

Hi Gysbert,

Is there any extension object to do the required functionality?

If you reread Gysberts response, you'll see that he is talking about an Open URL action. That action can be added to a button on the Properties->Actions tab (see category "External").

The steps in the QMC are only intended to get you the correct URL of the document. Without a decent URL, you won't be able to create a working button action.
