How to back up Task Reports from a Tabular reporting app

Alberto-SDH — Tue, 19 May 2026 10:39:09 GMT

I all,

Im trying to undertand if there is a way to backup the Task Reports of a tabluar reporting app.

The Qlik documentation said that you can export the app but you can't preserve Templates and Task Reports.

https://help.qlik.com/en-US/cloud-services/Subsystems/Hub/Content/Sense_Hub/Reporting/Generate/cloud-in-app-reports-exported-migrated.htm

I saw that you can also export templates but I'm not able to find information on how to backup Task reports.

Any suggesetions?

Thank you in advance.

Best Regards,

Alberto

Hi @Alberto-SDH

So far, tasks cannot be exported. But they can be easily recreated once you have users and templates.

You can open a idea in the Ideation program if you need this functionality.

Hi @Alberto-SDH,

From what I’ve seen while working with Qlik Cloud reporting, the current limitation around Task Reports is expected — they’re not included in app exports like templates or app objects.

One approach that has helped in our case is documenting the task configuration (recipients, schedules, filters, and conditions) externally before any major changes or migrations. While it’s not a direct backup, it makes recreating tasks much faster and more consistent.

Also, if you’re managing multiple reports, standardizing templates and naming conventions can reduce the effort needed when rebuilding tasks. Once templates and users are in place, recreating tasks becomes more predictable.

It would definitely be useful if Qlik adds export/import support for reporting tasks in the future, especially for larger environments.

Out of curiosity—are you working with a large number of scheduled reports, or just trying to safeguard a few critical ones?

Hi Sunilsahu_345

"Out of curiosity—are you working with a large number of scheduled reports, or just trying to safeguard a few critical ones?"

Yes my customer has a large number of task reports and he want to prevent to loose them.

Hi Andrea_Bertazzo,

I made the request in the ideation program.

"they can be easily recreated once you have users and templates"... yes but if you have a lot task reports to recreate, it takes a lot of time even though easy.

Hi @Alberto-SDH ,

you can gather information about reporting tasks connected to apps by querying the endpoint

/api/v1/sharing-tasks?limit=100

This is not exactly a backup solution, but at least you'll be able to collect and store all information about tasks.

You might even be able to recreate the tasks calling the endpoint with the POST and PATCH methods, but, if even possible, that will definitely require some dynamic logic.

Otherwise, as my colleague @Andrea_Bertazzo mentioned, I would recommend submitting an idea.

Please, note: the mentioned endpoint has a 100 tasks limit. If you more, you will need to paginate or use the qlik-cli.
