When you create and build your visualizations, you can save assets to reuse in other visualizations and on other sheets. You can save visualizations, dimensions, and measures as master items. When your app gets published these master items will be available to others as ready-to-use visualizations, dimensions, and measures.
Any updates you make to the master item are applied everywhere the master item is used. For example, you could use a master measure in as many of your visualizations as you like while only having to update it in a single instance to update all instances of the measure in your visualizations.
One of the purposes with creating and maintaining master items is for other users to explore their own ways and directions in the data, on top of what you have provided in the app as pre-made sheets with visualizations. The users will be able to create their own visualizations with your pre-made master dimensions and master measures, for example.
Permissions for working with master items
In shared and managed spaces within Qlik Cloud Analytics, you need specific permissions to work with the master items in an app. The sections below outline the user requirements for working with master items.
For more information, see:
-
Shared space permissions for users with Professional or Full User entitlement
-
Managed space permissions for users with Professional or Full User entitlement
Viewing master items in an app
To view the master items in an app, you need the following:
-
Professional or Full User entitlement in the Qlik Cloud tenant.
-
Apps in shared spaces: Owner, Can manage, Can edit data in apps, or Can edit role in the space.
-
Apps in managed spaces: Owner, Can manage, or Can contribute role in the space. Alternatively, you can view master items if you have Can contribute access to only the app.
Creating, editing, and deleting master items
To create, edit, and delete master items in an app, you need the following:
-
Professional or Full User entitlement in the Qlik Cloudtenant.
-

You cannot create, edit, or delete the master items of a published app. Instead, perform these actions in the source app and then re-publish the app to the managed space.
