User preferences reset on document open

nagireddy_qv — Tue, 06 Nov 2018 15:02:51 GMT

Hi all,

I am trying to save some user preferences so I can run my Nprinting report as user requirement. Here is the setting under User preferences -- Objects -- Default label for Totals - Blank instead of Total. The default option looks like below but I have to have it blank in order for Nprinting purposes. So the issue is I have to save this setting everytime I run a Nprinting report as it resets to 'Total' on closing the document. Is there any way we can do the same in document settings or in "C:\Users\youruserid\AppData\Roaming\QlikTech\QlikView\Settings.ini" file so I can avoid setting it everytime a report is run. Please help.

Is that "youruserid" the same account that NPrinting is using? Very often, the accounts for the services are not people accounts (e.g.: no permissions to perform batch jobs/non-interactive user).

If not, log in with that account, store the preferences as you like them, and try again.

Yes by deleting the total and having it totally empty it will be reset.

If you set it to a single space character then that will be kept and NOT reset.

ChartTotalString is the setting that should be set to blank in this case??

I really donot want a space, it should be blank as we are not wrapping the previous column and the label of first column should flow onto this empty column space.

Hi,

if you leave

ChartTotalString=

QvScriptSet=2000000,2FFFFFF,0,0,0

this blank or edit it to

ChartTotalString=

QvScriptSet=0,0,0,0,0

after reloading Total reappears. Looks like you need to manually delete it for all users.

Hi,

Here is my settings.ini file. I tried to remove ChartTotalString= Total and leave it blank but the Nprinting report doesnt seem to get rid of that (highlighted in yellow). Am i missing any other setting?? Please check the file and let me know.
