Hi Bindhu,

For example  u have file in below folder

C:\Qlikview\sales.qvd

u have loaded this qvd into qlikview and created a qvw.

same qvw u have opened in another machine and u trying  reload the qvw there ,but in another machine u don't have vd in  Cdrive

u have  it in  D  Drive

D:\Qlikview\sales.qvd

while loading the qvd into qlikview if u check the option of relative path u will get like this

..\Qlikview\Sales.qvd

..\ is Root directory  (It will look back one step back)

It will pick the

C:\test\New folder\Data\test.xls

Because

.. means it will go to C:\drive automatically.

It will go to root folder.

Or else just try to change the file name and reload the dashboard using relative path.

Relative path was not for local system paths:

In server we have DEV/QA/Prod

So when we are moving dashboards from one server to another, relative paths will be very much helpful

@manoj Kimar given the example just to make you understand the functionality of relative path.
