Ok so with ajax, we really have no option. What are other options? Qliksense? Sending them the Qlikview file etc etc? I wonder if people have already faced this and have comeup with any alternatives?

Upto some extend you can allow users to create their own report as shown here: Adhoc reporting in Qlikview . Otherwise, for real user-managed (or, call self-service) reports, of course, Qlik Sense is an option, or rather the option.

Ok, this is strange. The above post says that with ajax, its not possible to create new dashboards. However, I have just tried to create new chart using ajax client and it seems to have worked. What's going on here?

Hi

you can create new sheets / objects and dashboards - the issue is that these are yours - they are your 'user objects'.

you can share your objects with other people also - but they have to choose to see them from the ajax 'Repository' (the shared objects menu)

you cannot affect the document objects as an end user in ajax when the document is on the server.

i hope this makes it clearer

Though I don't exactly remember, but possibly when mby‌ posted in 2011, the feature was not there in ajax.

Yes, that is correct. You can create sheets and objects using the Ajax client as long as you have permissions to.

What it is not possible is that what you build in Ajax goes to the QVW. All objects created via the Ajax client will persist in a .Shared file and will never be in the original QVW

Cheers,

Miguel

That is true for IE Plugin as well, I believe.  Hope you meant by, 'What it is not possible is..'  - is, common to both.

Miguel_Angel_Baeyens

True, thanks for noticing!

Even better said would have been "client access does store any object created in to .Shared files and never possible to open the original QVW file" counting the iOS native app and some others that could be there, including QlikView Desktop when using "Open in Server" and of course, IE Plugin.

Cheers,
