RLV Scribe

RLV Scribe turns a Qlik Sense table into an editable, collaborative data-entry grid. An app author adds custom input columns - text, numbers, dropdowns, dates, calculated formulas, and more - directly on top of Qlik dimensions and measures. End users then fill those columns in on the sheet itself, with autosave, per-user row locking, and versioned “what-if” scenarios, all backed by your own SQL Server database.

Also known as “Relevance Scribe”

Inside Qlik Sense’s own custom object picker, the extension is listed under its catalog name, Relevance Scribe. It’s the same product - this manual calls it RLV Scribe throughout, to match the Windows service and admin console.

Two parts, one installation

• The extension - what report authors add to a Qlik Sense sheet, and what end users see and type into. Covered in Using RLV Scribe.
• The backend - a Windows service that stores writeback data, enforces licensing, and hosts a small admin console (“the backoffice”) for connecting databases and configuring tables. Covered in Administration.

Both live on the same server as your Qlik Sense Enterprise installation - see Installing RLV Scribe for why, and what that server needs.

What you can do

• Writeback grid - Add editable columns to any Qlik table: text, numbers, dropdowns, checkboxes, dates, calculated formulas, and more.
• Row locking, versioning, and scenarios - Control who can edit what, and let each user keep their own named “what-if” versions of the data.
• Administration - Connect a database, define writeback tables, and manage licensing from a single backoffice console.

How to use this manual

If you’re installing RLV Scribe for the first time, start with Getting Started. If you’re building the writeback grid into a Qlik app, go to Using RLV Scribe. If you administer connections, tables, or licensing, see Administration.
