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.
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?
