Frequency of use of QlikView applications

[Danijel]

Hello all,

we would like to do a QlikView applications review.

That means we want to look at all existing, published, applications and check which parts of them are still relevant or obsolete.

Here the question arises how this should be checked. I know the audit logging of QlikView. Could this help us to check which charts or tabs are frequently or never used in order to optimize them?

Thanks and greetings

To get information which applications are used how often and from whom - which may depending on sheet/object structure/organization and/or in regard to any used section access could hint which parts are probably used - you could take the session-logging from Qlik.

For deeper insights you will of course need the (extended) audit-logging - whereby it will only show what was used and not wasn't used. This means you need to look within the applications which sheets/objects are there and if they don't appear within the audit-logging and/or quite seldom you may remove them  - or at the beginning just hiding them. If no one complained ... you may remove them some weeks later.

Using the audit-logging may easily conflict with company policies and/or the law therefore the session-logging might be more appropriate to start with such a task.
