Qlik Sense Map with more than 1 dimension

Wed, 27 Jan 2016 11:38:06 GMT

Hi to all,

has anyone tried to implement a Map in Sense with more than 1 dimension?

Is it possible? I've not found any good solution until now.

Many thanks for your contributes

Hello there,

Yes, it is possible to do so in Qlik Sense. There are extensions which might help you create maps in QlikSense

and they allow you to add more than one dimension. In the right part you have an options panel in which you add dimensions and measures. You click on one dimension and QlikSense give the option to add a new one. I can attach you some snapshots if you want to.

Also, I can post you the link in which you can find some map extensions for QlikSense (They might be useful depending on the QlikSense versión you've got).

Hope it is useful! I also cracked my mind a lot using Qlik Sense maps!

Hi Alessandro

Of course, I explain you:

This is the link to access to the QlikSense extension. It is called "svg Reader". You have to download it, uncompress it and copy it to the QlikSense extension folder. The path would be: My documents -> Qlik -> Sense -> extensions -> templates and there you can paste it with the rest of QlikSense extensions (you have to paste the whole folder). If you need any other help with that, let me know . When you add an extension, you need to close and reopen QlikSense in case you had it open when you pasted it and in this way, your changes in the extension folder are done.

Here you have the link for the extension:

http://branch.qlik.com/#/project/56728f52d1e497241ae6977f

Once you paste it, you create or open an App in QlikSense, you will find the new extension on the left with the name of "svg reader".

This extension will allow you to do a lot of things. I used it and liked it You can change the border of the map, select maps from all over the world, change colours, add measures and dimensions... and so on.

I have written down a Word document with some screenshots and giving some main explanations about the extension, if you want to, I can send it to your email (as it is impossible to attach it in here ). Or maybe if you prefer, in a private message or something like that.

Hope it helps so far, if you have any doubt, let me know ^^

I think it could be a good help to start using that extension

Hi Ainhoa,

I've found in the Qlik Branch website that the correct link to the SVG Map extension is this:

Qlik Branch

...but it works with only 1 dimension... so I've the same problem: does exist a way to use more than 1 dimension in the same map (at the same time) using Qlik Sense? For example:

- 1st dimension: SHOPS

- 2nd dimension: CUSTOMERS

All in the same map, as different GeoPoint Locations.

Until now I've not found any solution, any map that works in Qlik Sense with more than 1 dimension at the same time.

Any suggestions?

Hi Ainoha,

Is there any possibility you could share the document here, would help others too struggling with the Maps in Qlik sense.

Im also struggling with an Map dashboard and would be great if i can solve based on this.

Hello!!

Sorry for my late reply. I'm afraid here is not possible. I tried but I couldnt :S. In the document I explained the main steps to use one Qlik extension for QlikSense using maps. How to add dimensions, measures and main options of that extension. Are you using any extensión in particular? Do you want to do anything concrete in a map?

Let me know and see if I can give you a hand ^^

Hi Ainhoa,

I've tried with a lot of extension, but I'm thinking that it's a Qlik Sense structural problem.

Perhaps Sense accept only 1 dimension for the same app (1 GeoPoint field, 1 Latitude field, 1 Longitude Field).

I've not found any documentation regarding this yet, what do you think about?

Hello Alessandro,

I've used the extensión called SVGReader (there are several, maybe you took another one) and I can add dimensions:

If you'd like, I could send you the dimension I'm using

Hi Ainhoa,

Sorry for my late reply.

I have been trying too build an world map based on an kml file, which points to the countries in my DB based on the ISO code. It works fine on the Qlik Desktop but has performance issues on the server side.

Do you think this would work with the SVG extension you mentioned, and also does the SVG need any licensing?

Thanks

Best Regards

Sai.

Hi Alessandro,

Is this what you'd like to do?

Hi Ainhoa,

I need a Geopoint Map (not an area map), but it's interesting anyway if you really have used MORE THAN 1 DIMENSION !

How do you add the geopoint locations? via Script? I need to use the data inside my model: Shops and Customers, and I need 2 Geopoint Locations in my data model...

Hello!

I do not think it needs any licensing Sometimes creators share for free their extensions, other times they only give Access to it as a demo, and you need to ask the developer for further information. For that reason, I have asked its creator just to take our doubts out

Hi Alessandro,

I'm sorry but with the current extension I am working the maps with I think it is not possible to add geopoint locations neither via script nor edition mode.I will have a look at it and in case I could get it I let you know.

I remember there were some demo versions to download in Qlik Branch to work with maps and set up some geopoint locations but they were demos.

There is a program for Sense and View which allows you to do so (I dont know if I have ever told you);

GeoQlik, the only true mapping component for QlikView and Qlik Sense

In the link I have written, there is a trial version in case you want to try it. It has very good options but it might be a bit expensive.

Hi Alessandro,

You could take a look at IdevioMaps (http://bi.idevio.com), it has excellent support for multiple layers on the map, i.e. multiple dimensions. Actually each layer is a separate component which you drag into the sheet and it displays the data at a map component that you also drag there. There are several types of layers like Bubble Layer, Area Layer, Line Layer, Heatmap Layer etc.

Send an email to info@idevio.com if you would like to try it out. To quickly see how it works, take a look at the video at New video: add a map in a minute « bi.idevio.com.

Regards

Johan

Unfortunately Qlik Support has just confirmed me that Sense allow the use of only 1 dimension in maps (1 Geopoint Location).

I know GeoQlik but it's too expensive.
