QVD Links: Data Load Editor

This page describes the QVD Links feature from Gitoqlok.

QVD links help you to open an application that generates a QVD file at an instant.

Explore the extended QVD Lineage feature to trace the origins and destinations of app data effortlessly.

To access the feature please turn on Gitoqlok Helper.

In your Qlik Sense application, proceed to the Data Load Editor and search for the line that references the QVD file:

By clicking on the Link icon, you will be redirected to the Qlik Application, associated with the imported QVD file.

Gitoqlok Platinum detects QVD links with variables in data connection paths:

  1. FROM [lib://$(DirName)/$(fileName).qvd]

  2. FROM [lib://$(FilePath).qvd]

  3. FROM [lib://ADWH META$(FilePath)/$(FileName.qvd)]

As for the first two formats, initially, the links appear in grey. This is done for you to see that they are not fully detected yet because GQ needs to know the values of the variables. To define values to the variables you need to launch the Debug Mode.
