Qlik Nprinting
NPrinting empowers Qlik users to generate reports from Qlik Sense apps and QlikView documents, followed by automated distribution in various standard formats.
Qlik NPrinting is an advanced reporting and distribution solution designed to facilitate the dissemination of knowledge and insights throughout an organization and to external stakeholders.
This powerful tool generates essential reports in widely used, portable formats like Microsoft Office and PDF, leveraging data and analytics sourced from Qlik Sense and QlikView. It ensures that these reports reach the intended recipients in the required format through a centralized distribution system.
With Qlik NPrinting, users can efficiently create and customize reports, applying filters based on updated data. The software automates the complex process of compiling information into a package that can be easily shared both internally within the organization and externally with partners or clients.
Here’s how Qlik NPrinting works in more detail:
- Responsive Web Interface: Qlik NPrinting offers a web-based interface that is responsive, meaning it adapts well to various screen sizes and devices. This interface caters to both administrative users and end users.
- Centralized Distribution: The software centralizes the scheduling, report creation, and distribution processes. This simplifies the management of report dissemination and ensures that reports are generated and delivered efficiently.
- Report Generation: Reports are generated based on templates that you create. These templates can be designed by users or utilize QlikView and Qlik Sense entities as data sources. This flexibility allows you to customize reports according to your specific requirements.
- Scheduled and On-Demand Reports: Qlik NPrinting offers the flexibility to deliver reports on a pre-defined schedule or upon individual user requests. This means you can automate report delivery at regular intervals or provide reports on-demand when users need them.
- Static Reports:The final reports generated by Qlik NPrinting are static files. These reports contain copies of the original data from QlikView and Qlik Sense as it existed at the time the report was created. This ensures that the data in the reports remains consistent and reflects the state of the data source at the report generation time.
- Multi-Threaded Engines: To facilitate quick collaboration and distribution, Qlik NPrinting can distribute reports across multiple multi-threaded engines. This approach allows for parallel processing, which speeds up report generation and distribution.
- Metadata Management: All metadata related to reports is saved in a database. This not only makes it easy to manage backups but also enables multiple developers to work concurrently on report templates and configurations.
In summary, Qlik NPrinting offers a comprehensive solution for generating, managing, and distributing reports based on data from QlikView and Qlik Sense. It ensures that reports are delivered efficiently, can be customized to meet specific needs, and supports both scheduled and on-demand report delivery. Additionally, it provides tools for managing metadata and enabling collaboration among multiple users.
- 1. Pixel Perfect and Web Reports: Qlik NPrinting enables the creation of meticulously crafted, pixel-perfect reports, as well as HTML reports suitable for web publishing, all within its built-in editors. Advanced customization options, including banding, scripting, advanced formatting, and graphics, empower users to produce high-quality, custom reports directly from QlikView or Qlik Sense.
- 2. Report Distribution Management: Centralized control over report scheduling, generation, and delivery is a hallmark of Qlik NPrinting. Reports can be distributed to various recipients with customized information tailored to each user’s needs. Reports can be scheduled or triggered conditionally, encrypted for secure distribution, and delivered through multiple channels, including email, file transfer, and web access.
- 3. On-Demand Reporting: Qlik NPrinting allows users to request reports directly from a QlikView or Qlik Sense application on an as-needed basis, depending on the current selection state. The on-demand server generates reports in response to user requests, incorporating the current selection state and predefined report filters for a personalized view.
- 4. Eliminate Legacy Reporting Systems: By leveraging both analysis and reporting capabilities within the QlikView or Qlik Sense platforms, organizations can retire redundant reporting systems. The same data model can serve for both interactive analytics and reporting, promoting seamless data discovery through live links to apps in the generated reports.
- 5. Engage With a Single Vendor:Organizations can directly engage with Qlik to acquire reporting capabilities. Qlik provides comprehensive service and support for NPrinting products and continues to invest in these products, including the development of next-generation features for QlikView and Qlik Sense.
In summary, Qlik NPrinting not only streamlines report creation but also offers precise customization, efficient distribution management, on-demand reporting, the opportunity to retire legacy systems, and the advantage of working with a single vendor for comprehensive reporting solutions.
