Hello,

We are having performance issues when embedding Qlik Sense reports in the IFS browser.

We embedded the reports by adding a shortcut in IFS to the Qlik Sense Hub/report. We are doing this to encourage our users to use IFS and to promote the use of one platform for reports delivery.

Unfortunately the performance of the report is poor. We have tried running the same link (IFS Shortcut the the Qlik Sense report) in Internet Explorer and the performance is equally poor. If we run the report in Edge the performance is good.

Out IT manager says that it looks like the IFS application may directly reference IE for the embedded browser (Qlik Sense link), so he thinks the only way to change will be as a setting in IFS or changing IFS code to use Edge/Chrome instead in the embedded browser.

The validation about which browser is embedded in IFS can be determined by adding the link below to the IFS address bar

So internet Explorer 11 is the embedded browser in IFS. Is it possible to change this?

Many thanks

Miguel

Hi, I can’t provide any guidance on your question but am keen to understand how you are embedding Qlik into IFS. We are currently on Apps8, moving to 10 this year. I also have sole responsibility of expanding our adoption of Qlik and this this would be a great way to push it under people’s noses.

Any guidance would be gratefully received.

Thanks,

Matt

Hi Matt,

I have just created a shortcut to the Qlik Sense (QS) server. Permission, etc is controlled at the QS level. I have also created a User Group to filter who gets the shortcut deployed in IFS.

You can add a new navigator entry as an external URL - to open in an external browser. And then add this navigator entry as your shortcut. See the images below.
