Unable to import .qvf file downloaded from QCC

[sadishshanmugam]

Hi Everyone, I am new to Qlik and I am learning through Qlik Continuous Classroom courses.  In the Qliksense Module, under the " Simple Linear Regression Analysis"  Course, accessing "Example Files" contain "Regression Analysis Module - Example.zip" file. I guess that Zip file contains the sample dataset for the course. After downloading and extracting the file, there is a .qvf file is available. I tried opening the file using Qliksense Desktop and with Qlik Cloud server. But to my disappointment both are not opening the .qvf file. Kindly suggest or advise me with the methods to open this .qvf file.

With Thanks

P.S. I had copied the .qvf file and pasted it in the "C:\Users\XXXX\Documents\Qlik\Sense\Apps"  and it worked.  Is this the way to open the file or any other methods available??

Yes, that's one correct way to open an app When adding it to the C:\Users\XXXX\Documents\Qlik\Sense\App folder it will be available in your desktop "hub".
You can not double click on a QVF file to open it in your Qlik Sense desktop.

Another correct way is to drag and drop your qvf file into your "hub" when Qlik Sense I running. Please note that by drag and drop the file will not be moved into C:\Users\XXXX\Documents\Qlik\Sense\App nor will it be available in the hub for future use, the next time you will need to drag and drop it again.

RightQlik is an alternative to using drag-n-drop or copying to the app-folder as I suggested earlier. It is a third party software developed by @mike_garcia  and it will allow you to right click on a qvf and choose to open it in Qlik Sense.
