NOTE You can achieve the same functionality using [Tasks](/release36/docs/tasks). Subscriptions, however, are simpler to set up and can optionally be managed by [Users](/release36/docs/users) themselves through the [Hub](/release36/docs/introduction-to-mail-and-deploy-hub) or the [Qlik Sense Extension](/release36/docs/introduction-to-qlik-sense-extension). ### Managing Subscriptions Subscriptions can be managed in the following ways: - Logon to the [Management Service](/release36/docs/services) and click *Subscriptions* in the menu. You can then manage subscriptions for any [User](/release36/docs/users). - Logon to the [Hub](/release36/docs/introduction-to-mail-and-deploy-hub) ; if the [User](/release36/docs/users) has the required [Authorization](/release36/docs/introduction-to-authorizations), the menu item *Subscriptions* can be clicked to manage subscriptions. - Manage Subscriptions through the [Qlik Sense Extension](/release36/docs/introduction-to-qlik-sense-extension). ### Subscribing to a Report This type of subscription can be used to subscribe to a [Report](/release36/docs/introduction-to-reports). The following properties are available: | Name | Description | | --- | --- | | Name | The name of the subscription. | | User | The [User](/release36/docs/users) to which the created report document will be distributed. | | Report | The [Report](/release36/docs/introduction-to-reports) from which the report document shall be created. | | File Type | The file type in which the report document shall be created. The available file types depend on the [Report](/release36/docs/introduction-to-reports) from which the report document shall be created. | | Parameter Values | A list of parameter values you can supply to the report [Parameters](/release36/docs/parameters). Parameter values can only be supplied if the report has at least one parameter. | | Add To Library | When enabled, the created report document will be added to the [Library](/release36/docs/library) of the [User](/release36/docs/users). | | Send By E-Mail | When enabled, the created report document will be sent to the e-mail address of the [User](/release36/docs/users). This property is only available if the user has an e-mail address. | | File Type Settings | Some file types support [File Type Settings](/release36/docs/file-type-settings) (e.g. a password with which to protect the report document if it is created as Adobe PDF Document) which can be specified. | | Execution Plan | The [Execution Plan](/release36/docs/execution-plans) that determines how often the subscription will create a report document. | ### Subscribing to a Datasource Object This type of subscription can be used to subscribe to a single [Datasource](/release36/docs/introduction-to-datasources) object. **Example:** In this case the report document will be created from a single [Datasource](/release36/docs/introduction-to-datasources) object, such as a bar chart, a pivot table, or any other supported visualization. The following properties are available: | Name | Description | | --- | --- | | Name | The name of the subscription. | | User | The [User](/release36/docs/users) to which the created report document will be distributed. | | Datasource Object | The [Datasource](/release36/docs/introduction-to-datasources) object (e.g. a bar chart or other visualization) from which the report document shall be created. | | Document Title | An [Expression](/release36/docs/introduction-to-mail-and-deploy-expressions) that needs to return a string that contains the title to assign to the created report document. The document title is displayed in the [Hub Library](/release36/docs/library). | | File Type | The file type in which the report document shall be created. The available file types depend on the [Datasource](/release36/docs/introduction-to-datasources) object from which the report document shall be created. | | Export As Table | If you select this option, the actual data behind the visualization will be contained in the report document rather than the graphical representation; in that case, not all file types are available. | | Page Size | The page size with which the report document shall be created; this property is only applicable for file types that support page layouting (e.g. Microsoft Word Documents). | | Page Orientation | The page orientation with which the report document shall be created; this property is only applicable for file types that support page layouting (e.g. Microsoft Word Documents). | | File Type Settings | Some file types support [File Type Settings](/release36/docs/file-type-settings) (e.g. a password with which to protect the report document if it is created as Adobe PDF Document) which can be specified. | | Filters | An optional list of one or more filters that will be applied before the report document is created. Every filter has a *Field* property that contains the [Datasource](/release36/docs/introduction-to-datasources) field to be filtered and one or more Values to which the filter shall be set. If a filter value starts with an equals sign (=) you can use an expression native to the type of [Datasource](/release36/docs/introduction-to-datasources) from which the object is extracted (e.g. if you extract an object from a [Qlik Sense Datasource](/release36/docs/introduction-to-qliksense) , you can use the filter value *=year(today()*) to filter to the current year). | | Execution Plan | The [Execution Plan](/release36/docs/execution-plans) that determines how often the subscription will create a report document. |
