Hi All,

i have a concern , i have 3 developers in my team , we are working for a dashboard.

how should we plan our development together , do we all need to work on Single Qvf file or different QVf file.

QlikView will integrate with version control software such as TFS which might be the best way to go if there are multiple developers working on a single dashboard.

if you do not have source control then you are going to have to work on separate dashboards and merge the changes yourselves.

Place that qvw in a shared server folder and each one of you guys will have access to it and after making changes and before saving let other developers know that you're saving it.

You can also do binary load but binary load is limited for 1 time. It is good to actually load data model as binary load and rest of the developing on server folder.
Or you can use Version Control software provided by your company, if they doesn;t then maybe use use ''PRJ'' folder

Below link might help you?

You can search more about PRJ in community, with examples as well.

Thanks.

Qlik Sense doesn't have a version control option I believe. I worked on 2.1 version. Maybe 3.0 has something now?

I don;t think it is possible in Qlik Sense.

The below link might help?

Qlik Sense integration with Version Control Systems

Again it has to be either prj folder or doing a binary load (which is limited to 1 time).

On server the file is not available to other developers until you publish it and when you publish it, you cannot edit the original qvf but you have to make a copy and make changes.

My suggestion will be use same method as qvw which I said above, export the qvf to local machine and then move that copy into shared server folder where everyone has access to it.

Use Qliksense desktop to make any changes and save on same shared server folder and once it is ready, import it to Qliksense hub, I.E Server.

It is not the best way but if I were you i'd have done this.

Thanks.
