For me, the bare minimum when it comes to app configuration in Qlik Sense or QlikView is:
– Setting paths and libs for use in data load script
– Setting “boilerplate” variables – e.g. the number/date/currency/etc formats
– Setting HidePrefix, SearchIndex and other app-specific behaviours
– Setting Product or Customer specific settings for consumption in the UI
This post adds some detail on config methods for Qlik Sense and QlikView, which fills the second tab from an earlier post about versioning.

In a multi-product/customer setup (see this previous post about deployment frameworks for context) where we follow common standards for names and folder structures we can streamline this configuration to reduce the maintenance and deployment burden.
