Article summary

General

QlikView Embedded Reports are PDF files created from a report that was designed using the report designer embedded in the QlikView desktop client.

Properties

You can access the properties of a QlikView Embedded Report in two ways:

  • Launch the Management Service, click Reports in the main menu and then click the edit button for the report you want to edit.
  • Start the Report Designer for the report you want to edit or design and select the report item in the content explorer.

The following properties are available:

Name

Description
NameThe name of the report.
Document TitleAn Expression that evaluates to a string the represents the title to be assigned to report documents created from the report. If you leave this property empty, the Name of the report will be used as the title of report documents created from the report. The document title should be a short description of the report document (e.g. Monthly Report 2020/01 for David Laychak); the document title will for instance be used in the Library of the Hub.
ConditionAn optional condition Expression; if it returns True or 1 the condition is considered to be fulfilled and a report document will be created. If it returns something other than True or 1 the creation of the report document will be cancelled. If you leave this property empty, the condition is considered to be always fulfilled. The condition expression is evaluated after the preparation Actions of the report have been executed.
