QMC Utilities uses a plugin architecture to instantiate the tools in the menu framework. The following plugins have been developed by the EAPowertools team for use with QMC Utilities:
Sheet Approver: The Sheet Approver enables users to approve published sheets in an app, thus, making them base sheets of the Qlik Sense application. In addition, it's possible to un-approve sheets as well and push them back to the community.
Rule Manager: The Rule Manager allows a Qlik Sense administrator to export and import security rules from the Qlik Sense repository.
Custom Property Bulk Loader: The Custom Property Bulk Loader enables administrators to upload a list of values for managing custom properties without having to enter values manually.
App Mover: This QMC Utilities plugin will allow users to export apps out of an environment and move them to other Qlik Sense environments.
Source Control Assistant: The Source Control Assistant is an application backup and restore solution for Qlik Sense.
QMC Utilities is designed and developed by the EA Team at Qlik as part of the Powertools initiative. To learn more about EA Powertools and all the solutions we are building to enhance Qlik Sense, please visit the EA Powertools space on Qlik Community.
