The final step to creating a new Qlik Sense app or making changes to an existing one is to make it available to users. This is done by either publishing the app or, depending on your Qlik product, by moving it to a different space. This article will explain the steps you need to take to make this happen. Note that some material may not be relevant to your Qlik Sense product and version number.
Publishing apps in an on-premise environment using the QMC
If you are using an on-premise product, on logging in, your users will see streams down the left-hand side, and apps will be organised by streams. In a set-up like this, app access is controlled within the Qlik Management Console (QMC). As a developer or administrator, you will have a separate URL to access the QMC. Once in the QMC, you need to navigate to the section called ‘Apps’. Find the new app currently in your workspace.
With the app selected, click ‘Publish’ and follow the steps to either find the stream where that app should be moved to or choose an existing app to overwrite with the app in your workspace.
Once the steps are complete, if you have published a new app, it will no longer be in your workspace. If you have published over an existing app, the copy in your workspace will still be there.
Publishing apps in a Qlik Sense SaaS environment (Qlik Cloud)
In a Qlik Cloud environment, there are no streams. Instead, apps are organised by spaces. Both users and apps are allocated to a space. Users within a space can see apps belonging to that space. When you create a new app, you choose a space it lives in. By default, it will be in a personal space only visible to you, the developer. Once the app is ready, you need to move it to a relevant space so users can see it. To move an app, right-click on the app and select ‘Move’. Then, select the new space and confirm the selection.
