Some years ago I developed a Qlik Sense developer tool extension, mainly to help mashup developers with the problem of finding object id’s to use in their mashup. Over time we added more features to it, so you could now access script and variables, and use it as a tool (of several) for performance troubleshooting.
But it always had the problem that you needed to add the extension to the Qlik Sense app, something that is not always possible or practical. What if we could do this without needing to add anything to the app?
That’s the reasoning behind the Qlik Sense developer tool now available in the Chrome web store. It’s still an extension, but now a Chrome extension and not a Qlik Sense extension. That means if you install it in your browser, it will always be available.
Another advantage with this approach is that it also works with Qlik Sense mashups, using Qlik Sense Capabilities API.
Still you can find object id’s with the extension, and explore properties for objects, sheets and apps. You can also read the script (provided you have access rights) and the variables. And you can now see what extensions and charts are actually used in an app, something that is not easy with the standard client.
