Folders in your own workspace and streams

mhaferkamp — Wed, 25 Nov 2020 15:12:24 GMT

A user should be able to create folders in his own workspace to manage his projects. The same function should be available in streams too.

I totally agree for workspace but not for streams.
In my opinion Streams should already be "simple and organized folders"

Hi there,

I would encourage you to have a look into the new Space concept within our Qlik Sense Enterprise on Cloud Services & Qlik Sense Enterprise on Kubernetes deployment options. Spaces are one level in how you can organize your content. But across Spaces you can use Tags and Collections to group your content and make it easier to filter and find.

Here is a link to our help page with more details. Working in Spaces

Best regards,

Thomas

Even in streams folders will be quite helpful when you have over 200 apps (regular case in big corporations). If you have the single level of app organization (streams) then you will get either infinite streams list or unreadable app overview.

It would be great if there are several other ways to make an easy navigation between apps

this is a great idea. Several people have voted with likes... Qlik support, has this been submitted as a product enhancement request yet? streams can get cluttered and having the ability to have folders inside the streams would make organization much better.

Adding a +1 on behalf of a customer who asked for this feature. The ability on organise the work stream primarily into different sub-components ( whether they are folders ) or not would bring much needed focus to a large enterprise hub where developers work on many different apps.

I know that you are asking for this as part of our QSEoW composition, but I do want to come back to what I said below in October. As we introduced a new Space concept as part of our QSEoCS & QSEoK composition this is addressing most of your questions. As you can see on the following Screenshot we do allow for Application Tagging which then can be used to group content and use it so to speak as a sub category. Security is controlled by Spaces but you can even create a view of Apps across different Spaces by using the tags.

Having that capability in QSEoW as part of your own "work" area and Streams is currently not planned. But we are considering the grouping of sheets as an option as part of your "app overview".

Let me know if you want to discuss this in more detail.

I think this feature will be highly useful

Re: Folders in your own workspace and streams

Rebekka — Tue, 12 May 2020 10:19:11 GMT

I think it would be handy if you could subdivide the 'My Work' area in general, either with several 'My Work' areas or in the 'My Work' area with folders, so to speak, where you assign the app as subfolders to get more structure. If you work on several areas and still have "archievements", you wouldn't have everything wildly together.

So what is the status with this development idea, since the first post is already a bit older? @Thomas_Hopp

Re: Folders in your own workspace and streams

mg_gsi_da — Tue, 09 Jun 2020 13:05:02 GMT

@ Rebekka

I fully agree and raised this request already years ago.

We use Enterprise on windows and it is a pain to have all the apps in progress in one folder. And it is not an option to temporarily publish to a stream and return them back for editing.

Re: Folders in your own workspace and streams

Steven_Haught — Mon, 06 Jul 2020 15:07:38 GMT

This would be my single biggest request! @Rebekka and @mg_gsi_da totally agree with you. Working on projects across multiple parts of the business, it would be tremendously helpful to organize my work stream by area, active projects, archive old work etc. Hate deleting anything because you never know when that random app or development may come in handy, but my work stream is becoming hard to decipher!

Re: Folders in your own workspace and streams

M_Ogimoto — Wed, 08 Jul 2020 00:29:48 GMT

I'm all for this idea.
I'm looking forward to implementing it into QSEoW.

Since QSE doesn't have a standard application version control feature, we have to manage applications by copying them, renaming them, changing their icons, etc.
This is very annoying.

I think Qlik needs to invest more in the application development workstream.

CHansford — Tue, 04 Aug 2020 07:14:28 GMT

I will add my voice and vote for this initiative.

Working in a multi Department organisation, which has multiple levels of sub-department means that I have to instigate Section Access earlier than I really want to (section access is also archaic). If I could give access to only those in each department and sub department to their own Stream then they are not overwhelmed by the number of apps and I don't have to use section access to ensure only those who should see certain apps.

Regardless of whether Qlik has introduced a new Space concept as part of their QSEoCS & QSEoK composition that is addressing most of your needs, it doesn't help me or a lot of use-cases and we won't be moving to anything other than an upgraded version of QSEoW for a long while, if ever, so come on Qlik elevate this to development.

Regards and stay safe

Folders or "bins" should be more used everywhere in the products. Also for items in the master library - for example group product dims in a bin for "Product" or sheets in different "bins" which would be great for the otherwise SO cluttered "Community part".

Re: Folders in your own workspace and streams

frheblou — Tue, 01 Jun 2021 08:38:28 GMT

Fully agreed, instead of "folders", I would suggest app "tags" usable for filterging / grouping apps within streams and Workspace.

This is necessary in big organisations with lots of apps and where "dividing" streams takes to much ressource (security-wise for example).
This should be avaible in any QS product

Re: Folders in your own workspace and streams - Status changed to: Open - Not Planned

Thomas_Hopp — Fri, 06 Aug 2021 13:13:24 GMT

Hi all, getting back to this as the idea has been out there for a while and I can tell you that we did looked into it. Introducing a sub folder structure would require a pretty big change in the repository and as I pointed to the implementation in our SaaS offering already, it is possible to achieve a more structured view by using Tags. And on top of that, we are currently working on more tools / capabilities which will help you (partners, customers and everyone who is using our Cloud product, to better organise your content. This includes a more fine grain way to structure it as well a more fine grain way to secure content.

I'll update the community with an update, when we have more to share in that area.

Best regards,

Thomas

I hope this idea will be implemented.

Re: Folders in your own workspace and streams

BCBEAK — Tue, 12 Oct 2021 17:53:12 GMT

Totally agree. Folders and sub-folders is needed to better manage the Work Stream in the Hub. We keep backups of all of our versions .. and this has quickly become cluttered with hundreds of versions of each application.

This would be truly useful for organizing your work, please put it into the roadmap!
