First and in order to avoid any confusion in the future: there is a difference between QlikView documents/applications and "reports". What you open in the AccessPoint is a QlikView document or application. A report is an export of selected data in a document in a predefined layout (sort of template) to either a printer or a PDF. A developer designs report templates and embeds them in a QlikView application for use by portal visitors.

Your questions:

1. 'Export' saves data to a file in one of a series of possible formats. 'Send to Excel' starts Microsoft Excel and copies the data in the selected object live into the new worksheet. In the latter, there is no file involved but you do need Microsoft Excel on your pc.
2. When visiting a QlikView document in the AccessPoint, users are expected to "qlik" and navigate. If they stop being active for a specific amount of time, the document will close itself. Also called "Session timeout".
3. See QlikView System Requirements, attached below.
4. Same on iPad and browsers. In the AP toolbar, there is an icon with a star and a plus sign. Use that one to save the current selections as a bookmark. The star-with-minus deletes the active bookmark. The list on the right lets you select a bookmark to be applied to the current document.
   
5. See below.
   
6. If the document designer included report templates in the current document, they can be selected from this list. Selecting a template will start the export process (fill in the template with the current selections, and make a copy for output) and open a print dialog that lets you print the report or export it to PDF (if you have a PDF printer installed)

Best,

Hi,

As you said Export saves the block to a possible series of formats, when I tried it directly asked me to save as .CSV, which are other formats in which I can save the block ?

[Peter_Cammaert]

That depends on the client you are using:

• The AJAX client saves to csv only because it is an HTML-, server-driven web application.
• The IE Plugin or Desktop client (via Open in server...) saves to qvo, txt, csv, skv, tab, html, xml, xls and qvd.

Good luck,

Peter

Thanks Peter for your quick reply.I had some more issues like.

1)How to print the whole report from Access Point?

2)Are there any plugin's for Chrome and Safari in ipad.

3)What is the static defalut time-out for Access point after logging in?

1. There is no standard method to print out the whole AccessPoint document. You can make sheet printouts but that means printing every sheet manually. On the other hand, do you really want to print everything? All copies of the same list boxes? Thats's what the reporting engine was designed to do. Create a report template in your document with all objects you really need, and make it available in the Access Point (through the Select Report list box). Or have a look at NPrinting on the marketplace.
2. No. There are two Windows clients: IE plugin (just for Internet Explorer) and QV Desktop. There is one iPad/iPhone client (see app store) but that's a standalone app. And there is the AJAX-client that works in almost every browser, old and new. Chrome and Safari should use the AJAX client. Big advantage: no installation or maintenance needed.
3. Default = 1800 seconds (30 minutes.). See below.

Best,

Peter
