Prior to the release of Qlik Application Automation (QAA), the process to review applications that need to be published to managed spaces was either manual or required heavy coding with APIs. QAA makes it possible to do this in almost entirely a drag-and-drop interface.
To make this even easier, I have provided the files needed to do the following:
- Assign app review to a specific reviewer
- Review and update applications as needed
- Approve or Reject applications
- Track Approvals and Rejections in a Qlik Sense app
- Provide a weekly report of applications that are still awaiting a review conclusion
What you need to create in your environment:
- A managed space where anyone who is allowed to submit applications for approval has publish rights
- A shared space where Reviewers have Can consume rights
- The person who is uploading the automations will need TenantAdmin rights
How you will need to set this up:
- Download the .zip and extract all files
- The .qvf should be uploaded to the shared space mentioned above
- Load in the .json files attached as automations (Create a new automation, give it a name, then right click on white space and select "upload workspace")
- Look through all of the blocks for comments that say "NEEDS INPUT!" and provide the necessary input
Please refer to the linked video to see how this workflow will look once completed.
