You can create connections from a Single Qlik NPrinting App to multiple QVWs.
App Connection:
So, you may be wondering, this is helpful, but now how do I connect my QVWs in Qlik NPrinting?
Well I worked with the Education Team to help create a "Qlik Fix" video. The video is found here:
It will take you through the basic steps of making an App Connection.
To summarize the video:
- Login to the Qlik NPrinting WebConsole with the needed permissions to create an App
- Navigate to Apps to create the "shell" for your App
- Navigate to Apps - Connection to create your connection
- Ensure that you are picking the appropriate App from the list and your Source is "QlikView"
- Choose if you would to connect to a Local, Server, or Cluster Location Type. In the video we selected a Local Connection
- Enter the Document Path
- If Section Access applies check the "connection requires authentication" checkbox
- Run Verification
👍 Congratulations! You have connected Qlik NPrinting with QlikView! 👍
If there are any error messages with the Run Verification step, the common causes of the errors are described on our Help Site:
