Setting up data for Answers - how to name a column that merges 2 sets of data

micahsakata — Wed, 15 Apr 2026 21:13:14 GMT

I'm setting up an app that merges metadata from Qlik Sense On Premise and Qlik Cloud. One of the fields merges stream and space names. It is currently called "Stream/Space". What is the best way to handle this for the agent to understand? Do I call the field "Stream or Space" or something else? If I ask Answers, "What apps are in the Finance stream?", will it understand to look in that field?

Try this way

Don’t name the field Stream/Space.

Use a semantic name like App Location or Container Name, and add a helper field Container Type = Stream / Space.

Example:

Stream → Container Type

Space → Container Type

Location → Container Name

Folder → Container Name
