Adding thumbnails to a clear environment
It is easy to skip over minor features of a BI platform. Unlike Qlikview, which has a large amount of options for chart customizations, Qlik Sense features are more universal. The majority of components will be relevant to you and, as such, should be given due consideration. Here, our aim is to simplify the environment by adding thumbnails and metadata descriptions at a high level to the application and the sheets within.
Getting ready
Open the Qlik Sense Desktop hub and either open up an existing application or create a new one.
How to do it...
- Find an image you want to use as the thumbnail for your application. Copy the image into the following folder:
C:\Users\*your own user folder*\Documents\ Qlik\Sense\Content\Default\ - From the
App overviewscreen, click on the editbutton in the top-right corner.
- Give your application a
TitleandDescription. - Adjacent to the
TitleandDescriptionwindow is the area for the application thumbnail. Click the Change thumbnail...
