Export Qlikview Notes (Annotations) to Excel

Hi,

Is it possible to export all QV notes (annotations) to Excel for documentation purposes?

Thanks, Elad.

In the past I have loaded the Annotations from the server using Qlik script and the QvsAdminDataProvider.dll connector.  You should find QvsAdminDataProvider.dll in the "Database" dropdown in the script editor. 

Attached is a script I created several years ago to load Annotations and other server objects. I don't currently have a QV Server environment to test with, so I can't validate if it still works.

Good luck!

A correction to my earlier post. It's the "QvServerObjectConnector" that loads the annotations,  not the QvsAdminDataProvider.dll connector. I think QvServerObjectConnector was part of QV Power tools. According to this matrix the connector is not available for QV12 https://community.qlik.com/t5/QlikView-Documents/Power-Tools-for-QlikView-One-stop-shop/ta-p/1493451

Thank you for your generosity!

My interest is in exporting the content of the annotation (the text that the user wrote), Is it possible?

Thanks, Elad.

Thank you Rob! now I understand why it didn't work for me.

I will try to see if something changed with the availability of the connector.
