QlikView and Session Collaboration

[Maria_Halley]

How to set up, configure, and use Session Collaboration in QlikView. 

Session Collaboration allows for a user to share their current Full Browser / AJAX client session with a guest user.  The guest user does not require a separate CAL.

It will allow for both the guest and host to make selections on the document, and explore data together. Cursor movement or context menus will not be transferred.

Environment:

QlikView 

 Server Setup:

1. Open the QlikView Management Console
2. Navigate to Setup
3. Open your QlikView Server (QVS@hostname)
4. Go to Documents
5. Check Allow Session Collaboration
   
   
   

Document Setting:

1. Open the QlikView Management Console
2. Navigate to Document
3. Open User Documents 
4. Select your *.qvw 
5. Open Server 
6. Open Availability
7. Enable Session Collaboration
   
   If the document is distributed through a Publisher: Please note that you have to set the same settings for the SourceDocument/ Task.
   
   
   

How to share the session from the AccessPoint:

1. Open the QlikView Document on which you enabled Session Sharing
2. Locate Share Session in the Toolbar of the document.
   
   
   
   If you cannot see the Share session option and only just now enabled sharing, restart the QlikView Server service or wait for the document to timeout from memory and open it again. If the document was previously open, the setting would not apply until the document has been flushed from memory.
   
   
3. Click Start Sharing 
4. Copy the provided URL and share it with a user who can access the document.

Hello @Maria_Halley 

Is this "Session Collaboration" functionality  still available if we switch from CALs licenses to an SLK with Analyser and professional licences ? QlikView 

[Sonja_Bauernfeind]

Hello @Loic6 

It is. I verified it on a QlikView May 2022 server with an SLK license. I can share with a user who has either a professional or analyser license assigned.

All the best,
Sonja
