How to change default App location - Qliksense Desktop

Tue, 25 Oct 2016 09:53:47 GMT

Hi,
I am using Qliksense Desktop and would like to share my app with other users. I know they can copy and paste my app in their local directory but I would like to use a central path (local share drive) so that other users can always have the latest version of my app when I update it.
Thank you for your help.

G'Day Christophe,

The solution to your issue is a combination to the answer given at this post click here (134074)‌ plus some research, follow these steps:

Close your QlikSense session on the PC (workstation) you are about to fix
You need to find the settings.ini file located within your documents folder: C:\Users\<username>\Documents\Qlik\Sense
Once you find it, make a backup copy of this file, by example: settings-backup.ini
Edit (with your favorite editor) the file: settings.ini, append the following line:

DocumentDirectory=\\server\share

Warning: The settings.ini file must end with an empty line, please look at the picture below:

Note that line 3 is empty.

The next time you open QlikSense, its Desktop hub will be empty, because it is now locate at \\serve\share

Hope this helps.
