    General

    Subscriptions can be used to distribute report documents to a User on a regular basis.

    NOTE

    You can achieve the same functionality using Tasks. Subscriptions, however, are simpler to set up and can optionally be managed by Users themselves through the Hub or the Qlik Sense Extension.

    Managing Subscriptions

    Subscriptions can be managed in the following ways:

    • Logon to the Management Service and click Subscriptions in the menu. You can then manage subscriptions for any User.
    • Logon to the Hub; if the User has the required Authorization, the menu item Subscriptions can be clicked to manage subscriptions.
    • Manage Subscriptions through the Qlik Sense Extension.
