Manage Content: Folder Connections

You have two types of connections in Qlik.

Connections insure that your connections to your various data sources always work within the environment you are publishing your applications into. WIP will automatically update the connection based on the environment published.

• Data Connections

  • Data connections are set up on an application level and can be various types of connections. Data connections are set up on an application level so you can connect to many different data stores and data types via your application.

  • WIP also manages your data connections on the file level thus you can access your file data connections from the file properties.

  • Additionally, to file level connections you can also set up global connections that will be accessible for all files.

  • To browse your Qlik server click on the QlikView / Qlik Sense Icons or access other files through by clicking on the Import File icon.

• Folder Connections

  • Folder connections are utilized for your “LIB” folder connection content. You can manage the files in your folder library connection within WIP and any updates on the files will then be migrated to your server as published from time to time.

  • Folder connections are integrated to your Qlik Connections via the API. When you connect to your Qlik server it will automatically display all your content in your Qlik Connections via the API connection to your Qlik Server. You can now drag/drop your various connections, includes, files etc. into the WIP repository folder of choice.

  • To browse your Qlik server click on the QlikView / Qlik Sense Icons or access other files through by clicking on the Import File icon.
