# Qlik Sense Server Apps

### General

This type of datasource can be used to connect to an app hosted by an on-premise Qlik Sense installation. Qlik Sense can either be installed on the same machine as Mail & Deploy or another machine that can be reached through the network.

### Properties

This type of datasource has the following properties:

| Name | Description |
| --- | --- |
| Name | The name of this datasource. This does not have to be the name of the Qlik Sense app. |
| Host | The host name or IP address of the server that hosts Qlik Sense. |
| Port | The port on which Qlik Sense is listening. Usually the port is 443 for HTTPS connections and 80 for HTTP connections. |
| Protocol | The protocol to use to connect to Qlik Sense. |
| Virtual Proxy Path | The path of the virtual proxy to connect to. You can leave this property empty to connect to the default virtual proxy. |
| Use Credentials | When disabled, Mail & Deploy will connect to Qlik Sense using the [Mail & Deploy Service Account](/version340/docs/service-account) for authentication. When enabled, you can specify different credentials to authenticate. |
| Username | The account name of the user to use to authenticate with Qlik Sense. This property is only applicable if *Use Credentials* is enabled. |
| Password | The password of the user to use to authenticate with Qlik Sense. This property is only applicable if *Use Credentials* is enabled. |
| App | The app of this datasource. You can click the button when you entered a *Host*, *Port*, *Protocol*, and *Virtual Proxy Path* to populate the field with all available apps. |
| Set Filter Before Rebuilding Cache | When enabled a filter can be set before the cache of the datasource (see [Datasources](/version340/docs/introduction-to-datasources)) is rebuilt. This can help speeding up the cache rebuilding process, especially for very large or complex data models. |
| Filter Field Name | The name of the field to filter before rebuilding the cache. This property is only applicable if *Set Filter Before Rebuilding Cache* is enabled. |
| Filter Value | An [Expression](/version340/docs/introduction-to-mail-and-deploy-expressions) 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 Theme | The identification of the default [Theme](/version340/docs/themes) to be activated in the datasource. |
| Preload App | When 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. |
| Has Dynamic Culture Dynamic Thousands Separator Dynamic Decimal Separator | See [Dynamic Cultures](/version340/docs/dynamic-cultures) for more information. |
