Once installed, you can drop the extension onto any sheet in your environment. All you need to do is set the Server Base URL to the URL of your ConnectReport Server.

To use the extension to download a Qlik Sense sheet on-demand, users navigate to the dashboard and choose “Download”, and then choose a file formats. Behind the scenes, ConnectReport will run a report containing a reference to the sheet currently viewed on behalf of the user.

Everything the user sees in Qlik Sense carries over to the exported report. This includes section access security rules that limit the users view of the data, as well as any selections that the user has applied to the dashboard. The selection inheritance is quite a  nice feature, since users can go in and select specific values in the dashboard and download a corresponding document for each.
