Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows: After redirection, the part after has (#) in the URL is removed

[Damien_Villaret]

In Qlik Sense, after a redirection, the part after # in the URL is removed.

Environments:

• Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows 

Resolution:

Unfortunately, it’s not possible to know the anchor since the hash (the string including the #) never gets passed to the server, it is solely a behavioural property of the browser.

This is a browser-specific behaviour and has been raised on numerous occasions over the web, following are a few of them:

The browser is not passing the part after the #, so that is why Qlik Sense cannot redirect to the URL.

The workaround would be to not use # in the URL.
