Can someone please provide me with details about how bookmarks work in Qlikview.We are encouraging our users to use bookmarks but on some occasios the bookmarks are being lost.
I would like to know under what circumstances this happens and what needs to be avoided in qvw development so that bookmarks are not lost when a new version of a qvw fiel is published.
It depends on types of bookmarks. From QlikView Reference manual:
15.1 Bookmark Types
The current state of selections can be saved as bookmarks for later use. Bookmarks capture selections in all
states defined in a QlikView document. When recalling a bookmark created in version 11 (or later) the selections
in all states will be applied. There are different types of bookmarks:
Document bookmarks are stored inside the qvw document. They will always be available to whoever
opens the document locally or from a QlikView Server.
User bookmarks are stored separately on the user’s computer. They will only be available to the
user who created them on the computer where they were created. If the document
is moved or renamed all personal bookmarks related to it will be lost.
Personal Server bookmarks
are only available when working with a document on QlikView Server and
only to authenticated users. They are stored in a repository on the server and
are accessible to the user from any computer where authenticated.
Shared Server bookmarks
are only available when working with a document on QlikView Server and
only to authenticated users. Any user who has created a personal server bookmark
may flag this as shared to other users. They will then become available
to other users. Just like personal server bookmarks shared server bookmarks are
stored in a repository on the server.
Hi,
Your bookmarks are store in .Shared file.
Make sure its not corrupted.
Take regular backups.

Thanks. This will mainly apply to user bookmarks. Under what senarios do these get lost / deleted?
where can I find .Shared files on the server?
In the same folder where your end user application are stored.

ASHFAQ
Hey Ashfaq,
I only see the .qvw file and log file in the SourceDocs folder.
What is the file extension of the .shared files?
Found it, thank you Ashfaq !
