We have users accessing dashboards via the web based access point and also via the app. However, the bookmarks they have saved on the web based version does not seem to sync through to the app version.
Of course. This is the difference between Server Bookmarks which are stored in the .shared file and Document Bookmarks which are saved within the QVW file.
It is unusual to have users accessing both. Why do you have this set-up?
Both. In field users have access to both and will use both. Would be handy if they had the bookmarks on the app too as they may not always carry around the laptops.
In that case no, I'm afraid. That is an unusual situation - why can all users not access the browser? Is it because they may not be online? How are you updating the locally stored data?
the problem is that Bookmarks created on web version (IE-Plugin or Ajax) are not really present in the document. As it has been said, they are stored in the .shared file, so anytime a user access a document through web, the web server goes and looks in the .shared file for any server object (any object created in the web version is a server object e.g. charts, bookmarks, etc).
So the only way to get all the bookmarks visible in any client is to create them directly in the source document, unless someone knows a way to extract the data from the .shared file and import it to the source document,
You can use the QVObjectConnector.exe in the Power Tools 1.2 to extract info from the shared file, but it won’t create a bookmark for you – it will just list the bookmark selections.
