Installing Qlik GeoAnalytics for QlikView Desktop

This is a guide to installing QlikGeoAnalytics on a QlikView Desktop.

Note that you will need a Qlik LEF license to install version 5.8 or later.

Installation

  1. Download GeoAnalyticsForQlikViewDesktop<version>.zip from the Qlik Download Site.

    Downloads

  2. Unzip the file into any folder on the server computer.

  3. Navigate to the folder where you unzipped the file.

  4. Double-click the .qar files to install the extensions.
  5. Run the GeoAnalyticsSetup file to set up GeoAnalytics. This will require you to activate your serial number and license.

Configuration

You can configure a few global extension settings by editing the file IdevioMap\settings.js in the QlikView extensions folder by adding or changing the values of the following properties.

Information note

The settings file is overwritten when upgrading, so any settings will need to be applied again. It is therefore recommended that you, if you edit the settings, make a copy of the file for easy restoration after upgrade.

Configuration settings
Setting Type Description
server string Default GeoAnalytics server URL
allowCustomServer boolean If false maps will ignore the map server URL setting in their properties and instead use the default URL
safeHtml boolean If true info bubbles will be limited to only allow a small safer subset of HTML tags (a,b,br,em,i,img,small,span,strong,sup,sub) and attributes (class,style,href,target,rel,alt,src,height,width)

Updating

To update your existing GeoAnalytics for QlikView Desktop installation, repeat the installation process with the updated extension files.

Troubleshooting installation

If you install the GeoAnalytics extensions as instructed, but QlikView Desktop displays an "Invalid Visualization" error, it is likely a QlikView cache error.

To resolve this issue, you need to clear the browser cache that QlikView uses for WebView mode, which is either Internet Explorer or Microsoft Edge by default. If you have the same problem with other QlikView Desktop apps, repeat the process with that app.

Internet Explorer

  1. Open the browser settings.
  2. Switch to the Safety options and click the Delete Browsing History button.
  3. Uncheck everything except Preserve Favorites website data and Temporary Internet files.
  4. Select Delete.
  5. Hit F5 to refresh.

Microsoft Edge

  1. Open the browser settings.
  2. Under Clear browsing data, select Choose what to clear.
  3. Uncheck everything except Cached data and files.
  4. Select Clear.
  5. Hit F5 to refresh.
