Hello Qlik Cloud admins and users,
An upcoming update to Qlik Cloud will change the default filenames generated during an ad hoc download of a chart (such as Data, Image, or PDF).
Currently, the filename defaults to Qlik Sense - <object name> - <date>
Example: downloading from an object titled Investment Mix, the filename is Qlik Sense - Investment Mix - October 1, 2025
After the change has gone into effect, the default is <object name> - <date>
Example: downloading the identical file as above will now generate the name Investment Mix - October 1, 2025
This change will be deployed in two weeks following this post. The expected release is at or around October 27th, 2025.
This change is being made to support customers in extending the platform to all enterprise use cases, whether interactive, embedded, or API integrated.
Thank you for choosing Qlik,

Every data team understands the pressure—delivering clean, trusted data under tight deadlines, whether for a quarterly business review, a new AI project, or an upcoming compliance audit. The business needs answers quickly. However, the data quality processes are still catching up with many data engineers manually coding quality checks, stewards debating completeness rules, and analysts often waiting for teams to implement basic data validation. By the time data quality rules are written, tested, and deployed, the data is outdated—and the time to act is missed. So, how can we address this challenge?
In this blog post, I will illustrate two ways that an image in an analytics app can be changed dynamically based on selections. In one example, a layout container and the show condition is used to control which image is visible. In a second example, an IF statement is used to determine which image URL to use. In the second example, I will also review how to obtain the URL for an image in the media library of an analytics app.
Let’s begin by looking at the first example. In this example, we have an app on automobiles. When the user selects one of the automobile names, a picture of the car will be visible. If no cars are selected, then an image of all 4 automobiles should be displayed. Below is the image with no selections and all 4 cars visible.
When the Nebula model is selected, the sheet updates and only the Nebula model is visible.
In this example, a layout container has 5 Text & image objects – one image for each automobile model and one image for all cars.
A show condition like this is used to determine if the Text & image object should be visible. Only one image will be visible at any given time.
Now, let’s look at another example of how the background image can be dynamically displayed using an URL. In this example, one Text & image object is needed. In the properties of the object, under Presentation > Styling, a background image can be set. When URL is selected from the drop-down list, the option to enter an expression is available. Note that you want to edit the Background image setting that is in Presentation > Styling, not the Background image section in the properties panel.
The IF statement below checks to see which automobile model is selected to determine which image to show. If there is not a selection on the model, then the image of all the automobiles is displayed. In this example, the URLs for the media library images were used, but you could also link to images in an external source like an Amazon s3 bucket.
To find the URL for images in the media library, you can open the media library or use a sheet in the app that has the image on it. In my Chrome browser, I opened the Developer tools to inspect the image. In Chrome, the Developer tools can be opened by using Ctrl-Shift-I or from the three-dots icon in the upper right corner of the browser window and selecting More tools > Developer tools. Once the Developer tools window is open you can inspect an element by clicking on the Elements tab and then selecting the image in the highlighted box below. This will allow you to select elements on the page.
In the analytics app, click on the image in the library so that it appears in the preview window. When you click on the image in the preview window, you will see that a line in the html is highlighted. If necessary, expand the code to find the URL for the image.
Copy the URL that is listed in the src attribute for the img tag (see below). In the expression, you can use the full URL that includes https:// and the tenant name or just what is displayed in the src tag. Repeat these steps for each image.
I found this insight useful, and I hope you do, too. I would like to thank my colleagues @Charles_Bannon for the blog idea and use of his app to provide examples and @Ouadie for the tip on how to capture the media library URL.
Thanks,
Jennell

Artificial intelligence is changing our world at lightning speed. Everywhere we look, new tools and technologies are being built to make things smarter and faster.
A recent New York Times article, What Wall Street Sees in the Data Center Boom, shows just how massive this transformation is. Trillions of dollars are being invested in data centers, the “brains” that power AI. But the article also reminds us that all this progress comes with a cost: higher energy and water use, pressure on local communities, and even the risk of a financial bubble if this growth is not sustainable.
Reading it made me stop and think: Are we investing as much in understanding data as we are in building it?
Here at Qlik, we believe technology alone doesn’t make the world better, people do. And people can only make good decisions with data if they know how to read it, question it, and use it responsibly.
That’s what the Qlik Academic Program is all about. We want every student and educator, no matter where they are or what they teach, to have the chance to learn how to use data to solve real problems.
Imagine if every student learning about AI today also asked:
How can we make technology that helps the planet, not harms it?
Are we designing systems that serve everyone or just a few?
What does it mean to use data responsibly in a world driven by algorithms?
Those questions are where true innovation begins.
As the article points out, many companies are now rethinking how technology can drive progress that truly benefits everyone. That’s the same vision behind our Academic Program: to democratize knowledge, bridge the data gap, and empower people everywhere to use analytics for social good.
The AI revolution will be defined not only by algorithms and data centers, but by how wisely we use the data we already have.
Let’s make sure we are building not just the infrastructure for machines, but the understanding for humankind.
The Qlik Academic Program helps make this possible, giving educators, students, researchers, and universities everywhere free access to Qlik Sense, online training, and certifications to use data ethically and effectively.

This automation uncovers a new way to leverage Qlik dashboards, not just for interactive analysis, but as a data storytelling engine. Key discoveries include: The ability to transform any visualization into a management-ready summary using Qlik Application Automation. Streamlining insight delivery by connecting analytics directly to narrative reporting. Demonstrating how Qlik’s automation and reporting layers can replace manual interpretation and formatting.
This solution has both operational and strategic impact. It eliminates manual report generation, saving hours of analyst time per cycle, and leaders receive real-time summaries derived from dashboards. Bottom line: Faster insights, less effort, and higher business alignment.

While this project focuses on automation and reporting, it lays the foundation for AI-assisted analytics.
We’ve always known that the true value of data doesn’t come from the raw data artifacts, but rather from the refined, trusted Data Products that organizations use to make decisions. Unfortunately, many of these governed data assets remain locked behind proprietary APIs or custom connectors, making data consumption a frustrating scavenger hunt. We’ve done our best at Qlik to make access easy within our own ecosystem, but what if you need data products to flow securely and seamlessly to other BI solutions, productivity applications, and, increasingly important, every autonomous AI agent across your organization? We have the answer!
