    Additional Settings

    Name
    		Description
    Set Filter Before Rebuilding CacheWhen enabled a filter can be set before the cache of the datasource (see Datasources) is rebuilt. This can help speeding up the cache rebuilding process, especially for very large or complex data models.
    Filter Field NameThe name of the field to filter before rebuilding the cache. This property is only applicable if Set Filter Before Rebuilding Cache is enabled.
    Filter ValueAn Expression that returns the value to filter to before rebuilding the cache. This property is only applicable if Set Filter Before Rebuilding Cache is enabled.
    Default ThemeThe identification of the default Theme to be activated in the datasource.
    Preload AppWhen enabled, Mail & Deploy will preload all visualizations and sheets within the app when connecting to the app. This may take a bit of time but speeds up any communication with the app after the preload has completed. If you use the datasource to create large reports and the app has a complex data structure, preloading the app may speed up the total execution time. If you only export small parts of the app, preloading the app may actually be slower than communicating with the app without preloading.

    API Key

    Mail & Deploy can only access a Qlik Sense Cloud instance if a valid API Key is provided. The Qlik help article Managing API Keys describes how an API key can be created.

    WARNING

    API keys in Qlik Sense Cloud expire after a certain period of time; if the API key used by Mail & Deploy has expired, the connection to the datasource will no longer be possible and the creation of report documents and the execution of Tasks may fail. Please make sure that the API key used by Mail & Deploy is always valid and change it when required.

    For more information, see Datasource - Qlik Sense SaaS App - Impersonation (Section Access).
