Import

Learn how to use the Import function.

Motivation

We are trying to capitalize on our experience with standard Qlik Sense applications, master objects, and load-script during our careers.

For instance, every app in the retail sector always has a sheet "ABC analysis". There is a little difference between them, but client by client I'm using the same template that I am copying from the last application.

‌With Gitoqlik you could reuse your sheets from applications by importing them and combining them in a new Qlik Sense application.

Import tab in Gitoqlok popup lets you import Script sections and App objects context-wise. To import scripts, navigate to the Data Load Editor. To import sheets, navigate to Sheet view in Qlik Sense.

In order to import the Qlik Sense app from the existing GitHub repository, first, create a New Analytics App.

Create a New analytics app

Activate Gitoqlok and proceed to the Import tab. You will see the list of repositories tagged Lib along with your repository folders. Lib repositories are public and contain useful resources for you to reuse in your apps.

Choose the repository path:

Choose the Import path from the git repository

Select the sheets you want to import and press Import.

Select sheets

Now proceed to the Data Load Editor page and perform the same steps: select sections for import and press Import.

Select script sections

Conflict window signals having an identical existing section. To avoid duplicity, press "Overwrite from repo". Otherwise, you could keep both sections.

Conflict window

Imported app should appear on your Qlik Sense homepage.
