Change the default display of the QlikView homepage on desktop

[bellesol]

Hi,

Is it possible to change the display when a user enters the QlikView desktop?

When the user enters QlikView desktop, I want to change the "Qlikview start page", so instead of showing the start page, it will display a URL page.

The first thing is straightforward:

Tick off the selection box on the lower left corner of the "Start up page" next time you start and it will not show afterwards whenever starting QlikView Desktop.

The second thing can be achieved if you are willing to use a QlikView Extension:

You will have to create a "launch" QlikView document which has a this Web Page Viewer (or equivalent) extension on the startup/main sheet. The QlikView Desktop has to be run in "WebView" mode to work with extensions.

Petter is spot on regarding how to disable the Start Page, so hopefully you have gotten that far with things.  

I did find the  'AutoStartFile' setting that you can use to launch a URL, I set mine to http://cnn.com, it did open the web page, but I got a ton of script errors on the page, so I cannot say if things will work for sure or not, but that is the setting you want to set in the Settings.ini of the Client, which is located in the following path by default:

C:\Users\UserProfileName\AppData\Roaming\QlikTech\QlikView\Settings.ini

Example setting from my file:

AutoStartFile=http://cnn.com

Hopefully that may get you fully functional now with your use case.

Regards,
Brett
