Hi there,

It would be great to have an in-house email server within Qlik SaaS.

Despite setting up Qlik SaaS in January 2023, we are encountering many issues, having to look into third party tools such as: MailChimp and Amazon SES to set this up. As there is no options for OAuth authentication, our internal IT team is reluctant to look into basic authentication as it is deprecated by Microsoft, which Qlik SaaS needs to also consider to look into different authentication processes here.

Here are some reasons why it would be beneficial to have an in-house email server SMTP server in Qlik SaaS:

1. Data Security: By having an in-house email server, Qlik SaaS can have better control over data security. They can implement robust security measures, such as encryption, access controls, and regular backups, to protect sensitive information exchanged through emails. This reduces the risk of data breaches and unauthorised access.

2. Privacy and Compliance: Hosting an email server in-house allows Qlik SaaS to adhere to specific privacy and compliance requirements more effectively. They can ensure that data is stored and managed in accordance with relevant regulations, such as GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation), HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act), or industry-specific standards.

3. Customisation and Integration: An in-house email server offers greater flexibility for customisation and integration with other systems. Qlik SaaS can tailor the email server to meet their specific business needs, integrate it with their existing infrastructure, and implement custom features or workflows. This level of control can enhance productivity and streamline communication processes.

4. Performance and Reliability: With an in-house email server, Qlik SaaS can optimise performance and ensure reliable email delivery. They have full control over the server's hardware, network configuration, and software, allowing them to fine-tune performance parameters and monitor the server's health closely. This reduces the risk of email delays, downtime, or other performance issues.

5. Reliance on Third Party Software: Instead of relying on third-party email service providers and paying recurring subscription fees, Qlik SaaS can leverage their own infrastructure to manage email communication, potentially resulting in cost savings over time for Qlik SaaS customers.

6. Seamless Integration with Internal Systems: An in-house email server can be seamlessly integrated with other internal systems and applications used by Qlik SaaS. For example, we can integrate email data with their customer relationship management (CRM) system, help desk software, or analytics platforms. This integration allows for better data synchronisation and workflow automation, leading to improved efficiency and customer experience.

7. Flexibility and Scalability: With an in-house email server, Qlik SaaS has the flexibility to scale their email infrastructure based on their evolving needs. As their user base grows, they can easily add more server resources or upgrade hardware to accommodate the increased email traffic. This scalability ensures that the email service remains responsive and reliable even during periods of high demand.

We would like to see the ability to automatically have metadata like app name, object name and current selections added to a header or footer when exports are done in Qlik Cloud for both Qlik Sense and QlikView apps.
This was really useful in QlikView but has been missed by us and our users in Qlik Cloud.

Hello,

It's 2022, and I was wondering if Qlik Sense can implement moveable windows. For instance, when you choose to create or modify an expression, the Expression Editor window takes up the entire screen. Developers should be able to resize or move the window to see what's behind it, to remind them what KPI they are revising, or what measure they are modifying. Or, when you start a Load Script run, move the window so you can see the actual Load Script and make sure you didn't forget to change something before running the load. This can save the developer a lot of time.

Thanks in advance,

Chris

When using a Pivot table with several levels, one can "right-click" on the level and use the option "expand/collapse All". This option does not allow to expand the single level.

Customers want to be able to expand a level "expand next level" and keep others collapsed. 

This Idea was recorded as a copy of an old idea in the previous ideation system. It was again requested by a customer. 

Hello,

The default Home view is quite overwhelming for a new user. 

It is possible to clean it up manually by clicking on Customize your home and removing all the panels that we don’t want to show on the HOME.

Although if we could push a customized home  to show only FAVORITES for all users, I think this would help make it much more accessible.

So the Home would look something like this when they first access the cloud.  The users can Customize it to whatever view they want once they get more familiar with the Qlik Cloud.

Best regards

When setting charts' appearance with colour by the expression, the legend is hidden and the corresponding options in property manual is disabled.

Charts affected: Bar chart,  Combo Chart, Gauge, Line Chart, Pie Chart, Scatter plot

Customers have requested for this feature to be revisited and for legends to be enabled when the expression is a color code.

Hi,
Could be useful to modify a bookmark expression.
Now if you want to change a bookmark you need to create a new one and delete the previous one, it's not possible to replace it.
I hope this feature will be available in coming release.
Also be able to easily duplicate a bookmark could helps.
Best Regards
Andrea

Hello,

I watch the video about Business Glossary which will be available next week.

We can link a term to an app, and it's a good thing.

But it will be amazing to link a term to a master item !

The definition of a measure could be displayed in the information menu of chart with the lineage.

Regards,

Paul

Hi,

One feature that is obviously lacking from Qlik SaaS is the ability to connect to data sources that do not have a supported connector and are only available via ODBC.

ONe way aroudn this problem is to run Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows (QSEoW) or Qlik Data Transfer (QDT) to connect to these sources to extract and store the required data as QVD data files and then push them to SaaS via QDT.

With the arrival of the Qlik Data Gateway (QDG) we now have support for on-prem data sources that do have a supported connector however QDT/QSEoW and QDG cannot co-exist o nthe same server so we would need to have both a server running QSEoW/QDT and a separate server running QDG if we need to connect to some on-prem data sources that have supported connectors and some that do not.

Can ODBC Data Source access via QDG be enabled preventing the need for two separate servers for this use case.

I want to see a lot of axis values at once but it's automatically adjusted so you have to scroll to see it.
I'd like to adjust the width of the column as desired.

The Google Analytics Web Connector is currently only compatible for the Google Universal Analytics (UA). GA4 is due to replace the current version of Google Analytics (Universal Analytics or UA) in June 2023. More and more customers are now migrating to GA4. The GA4 comes with a new API (Google Analytics Data API). It would be great if the web connector becomes compatible for this new API, or that a new web connector is created. 

When exporting a table or pivot table, the cell and value colors should be preserved.  End users develop specifications for how to color these based on operational conditions, and often make selections based on these.  The formatting is a critical part of the actionable insights. 

As a product owner, I need usage tracking in my SaaS tenant down to the sheet, rather than we currently have access to -- app level.

This allows us to understand where best to invest resources in the applications that I have currently deployed on our SaaS tenant. 

We currently leverage both webintegration/mashups and native experiences for our 56K active users.

I'd like to leverage data driven decisions from the platform to inform our next phase planning new features and enhancements.

There is no connector for Google Analytics V4 and more and more sites are migrating to that version.
In fact all our new sites are already in that version and that makes it impossible to use Qlik to centralize our information.

Every morning and throughout the day we have to MANUALLY check the tasks to see if anything failed.

yes, we have an extension (seems buggy from reviews) but this needs to be a STANDARD feature.

Geesh, how hard is this ?  Add a setting  (engine?) - done.

Qlikview has been doing  this for YEARS.

Within Qlik Application Automation we can drag and drop blocks to basically build workflows.

Let's say you want to move 2 lines of blocks it would be great if you can just select both of them move the lines of blocks to the location you want  or selecting multiple blocks to delete those blocks.

Right now we have to click the the top block of a line and drag this around or when we want to delete a line of blocks we have to individually delete the blocks. When developing it can be very annoying if you need to delete/move multiple blocks at once.

This change would speed up building/testing/developing an automation.

Hi, 

a lot of users asked us if there is the possibility of monitoring users' sessions on Qlik Sense SaaS apps.

I checked all the monitoring apps that exists for SaaS, but none of them monitor who access which application and for how long.

For starters, we'd just need an easy way to check which users access an application in a certain range of time.
