Qliksense Business Cloud : file Upload

I have some comments  about File Upload in Qliksense Cloud. 
What is exactly the difference between loading Datafiles in a Shared Space or in a personal Space.
It seems that i can use file form a space in app of other space.

Also i thing that i would interesting to have some enhancement in the way file data are managed : 
=> Adding the size and uploaded date of the file 
=> Possibility to download the file
=> Possibility to create a directory structure inside a Space

Hi Fred,

Personal Space is for individual development and shared work space is for co development. 

When you have multiple developers you cannot use the personal files of a different user.

Size and uploaded information is available in the recent release.

"Size and uploaded information is available in the recent release."

Where is this available (for the uploaded files)

The size information also isn't (or doesn't seem to be) available for the actual App. This is also needed

Thanks

Hi

a drop down will appear for data sources. You can click on it to see the uploaded files , size and time.

No currently we cant view the size of the app. only option is to download them.

What is exactly the difference between loading Datafiles in a Shared Space or in a personal Space.

If you have experience with Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows, then this may be slightly different from how you use Data Connections inside of that product. But Data Connections (including Data Files) in Qlik Sense Business and/or Qlik Cloud Services operate independently of an app. Let's take a simple scenario. I have a single Shared Space in my environment named Levi's Shared. This is a shared space which I have created and I have published apps so that other users can view them, create their own sheets, etc. I now create an app in my Personal space. Inside of that app's load script, I now see all Data Connections across all the spaces that I have the requisite rights to. So I can write a load script like so:

SalesData:
LOAD
    Brand,
    Sales
FROM [lib://DataFiles/CSV.csv]
(txt, codepage is 28591, embedded labels, delimiter is ',', msq);

BrandData:
LOAD
    Brand,
    Address
FROM [lib://Levi's Shared:DataFiles/brand.qvd]
(qvd);

 

Inside this load script I am loading SalesData from a CSV which is in my personal space (no one else can see this file) whereas for BrandData I am loading from a QVD which exists inside of the Shared space. All other users in my environment can potentially be granted access to the Levi's Shared space and thus be able to see the brand.qvd file for their ad-hoc app creation.

In summary:

  • App's live in a space
  • Data connections live in a space
  • Users can access data connections across spaces to construct their applications

Hope that clarifies things a bit.
