Sheet Parts (--includesheetpart)

Choose exactly which parts of a Qlik Sense sheet should be captured for thumbnails and screenshots.

This applies to both Qlik Sense Cloud and Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows (QSEoW) and is controlled with the --includesheetpart option.

What the values mean

  • 1 — Main sheet content only (no sheet title, no selection bar)
  • 2 — Sheet content + the sheet title
  • 3 — Sheet content + title + the current selections bar
  • 4 — Full page, including the top menu/toolbar

Default: 1 (content only).

Sheet Parts Example

When to use each option

  • Pick 1 when the visual content should dominate, and titles/selections would distract.
  • Pick 2 when the sheet title adds useful context to the thumbnail.
  • Pick 3 to include the current selections bar, helpful in demos and tutorials.
  • Pick 4 for a complete page view, useful for documentation or audits.

Notes:

  • If there are no active selections, the selection bar (part of option 3) may not be visible.
  • Very small browser windows can affect cropping; see Browser Management for sizing tips.
