Qlik™ is happy to announce the next version of Client-Managed analytics offering, Qlik Sense™ May 2024. This version includes improvements primarily focused on visualizations, connectivity, and the ability to preload apps.
Visualizations and dashboards
Add the Styling option to add Background Color Opacity
The color picker gets an opacity control! By adding this feature, Qlik™ is making it easier to adjust the transparency of the color with the new addition and option to utilize slider functionality. Here are some use cases that you may find this feature very useful:
- Allow the sheet background to shine and make a statement along with the data you’re showing!
- Add more elegance to stacked charts
For those of you who will stick to hex codes, don’t worry – Qlik™ has made that easier too! Moving forward, you’ll be able to paste your codes with or without the “#” symbol.
Cyclic Dimensions
Cyclic master dimensions introduce a novel dimension type, empowering users to select dimensions from a group and seamlessly switch them across the entire application. Unlike drill-down groups, cyclic dimensions lack a hierarchical structure, yet they resemble alternative dimensions, extending their influence app-wide. By employing cyclic dimensions, valuable app and screen space is conserved, allowing a series of charts to offer multifaceted analyses. For instance, transitioning from temporal to geographical or product category-based measures is effortless. Toggling the dimension is facilitated either through a button action or axis label. Additionally, with cyclic dimensions, naming the levels within cyclic and drill-down groups becomes possible. Engine functions exist to query the group’s state, aiding in the creation of dimension-dependent measures or indicating the state through labels.
Table Improvements
Qlik™ continues to improve on the new Straight table and Pivot table because they are not only classics, but they’re also favorites!
- Straight Table
- Smaller columns
- URL links
- Pivot Table
- Dimension limits
- Measure formatting
- Text alignment, dimension and measures values and titles
- Null value styling measures
- URL links
Button Enhancement
The following navigation enhancement has been added to the Button: “Go to Sheet: specify chart”. Here are some of the bulleted use cases below where this will come in handy:
- Navigating to a specific chart
- Single page design
- Jump to Section
- Back to top
Hyperlinks for new tables
Finally, you now have the options to display values as clickable links within dimension columns, for both the straight and pivot tables!
*Part of the visualizations bundle.
Move quick sheet navigation arrows from sheet header!
When hiding the sheet title, the sheet navigation buttons will be available in the selection bar instead of being hidden.
Connectivity
SAP ODP Connector for Qlik™ Windows
Like Qlik™ Cloud Data Integration provides multiple methods of capturing data from your SAP system. This release enhances existing capture methods with support for SAP ODP. The ODP connector provides connectivity to the SAP ODP framework, enabling data capture from multiple types of data artifacts such as Extractors, CDS views, BW objects, and SAP HANA Information views.
Hub & Engine
Preload Apps Functionality
Available now in Qlik Sense™ is the ability for customers to configure and schedule the preloading of apps! This has been a highly requested feature and rightfully so, customers can improve their end-users experience by making datasets nearly immediately available within an application (especially useful for larger apps) upon utilizing the preload functionality.
To make the management of these tasks intuitive and seamless, within the Qlik™ Management Console you will now find new Support options for the following Preload Tasks: Create, Edit & Delete.
