Not able to create data spaces with Qlik Cloud Analytics license

Customers with a Qlik Cloud Analytics license cannot create or edit data spaces.

When creating a space, only the options for managed or shared spaces are available:

Resolution

Data Spaces are part of the Qlik Talend Data Integration offering.

Despite the name, “data spaces” are not meant to store Qlik Cloud Analytics data. Qlik Cloud Analytics customers should store their datasets in managed and shared spaces.

To address early misunderstandings and assist customers who had originally stored their datasets there, Qlik has decided to allow analytics customers to keep using data spaces with the following workaround.

IMPORTANT

The decision to allow this workaround might be reverted at any time, preceded by a timely communication.

Analytics-only customers who never made use of data spaces should refrain from starting now.

Analytics-only customers who are already working with data spaces should consider planning to move away from them, migrating their datasets and connections and should not start implementing new workflows involving data spaces.

Additional Qlik Talend Data Integration-only features, like the possibility to work with pipelines or the Qlik Data Movement Gateway, are not available to Analytics-only customers.

To create and edit spaces:

Open the Qlik Cloud main menu
Go to Data Integration
Open Projects

You can edit existing datasets or create new data spaces from the Projects Activity Center.

i was afraid you would say that. This will be a lot of work... Data spaces used to work connected to the data gateway so this is not good for us. Is there no way to change it in the background?

Hi @pshreve , I'm afraid it's not possible to convert Data spaces to other sort of spaces.
