QlikView Distribution Service

QlikView Distribution Service (QDS) is a component of the QlikView Business Intelligence (BI) platform that allows users to schedule and distribute reports and documents to other users within an organization. It is designed to automate the process of creating and distributing QlikView documents, including dashboards, reports, and other data visualizations.

QDS is used to schedule and distribute QlikView documents through various channels, including email, file share, or through a web portal. It can also be used to execute data reloads and perform other tasks, such as data cleansing and transformation.

One of the main benefits of using QDS is that it allows users to set up automated distribution schedules for QlikView documents, so that they can be delivered to the right people at the right time without the need for manual intervention. This can help organizations to save time and resources, and ensure that important data and insights are delivered to the right people in a timely manner.

The component that creates and distributes QlikView documents, the QlikView Distribution Service (QDS) cluster(s), can be accessed and updated under the Distribution Services folder. Many QDSs that are located on various workstations can be found in a single QlikView Publisher (QVP) installation. Consequently, these elements can also be added or removed.
