Qalyptus Desktop

Qalyptus Desktop is the authoring tool of the Qalyptus platform. It is installed on the machines of users who design report templates and build report projects. Using Qalyptus Desktop, you connect to your Qlik Sense or QlikView environment, design Office templates (Excel, Word, PowerPoint), and configure everything needed to generate and distribute reports.

Once a project is ready, it can be published to Qalyptus Server to automate scheduled report generation and delivery across your organization.

1. Get started - Watch the getting-started video to create your first project in minutes.
2. Create connections - Connect Qalyptus Desktop to your Qlik Sense or QlikView application.
3. Create destinations - Define the folders or storage services where generated report files will be saved.
4. Create filters - Set up field, variable, or bookmark filters to control the data scope of your reports.
5. Design templates - Build Excel, Word, or PowerPoint templates that reference Qlik objects, tables, and variables.
6. Create reports - Combine a template with a connection and configure the output format(s).
7. Generate reports - Create tasks that run one or more reports and deliver the output to your destinations.
8. Publish a project - Push your project to Qalyptus Server to enable automated scheduling and distribution.
