Andrew_Kruger — Tue, 27 May 2025 15:04:56 GMT

With the turn of the calendar, it's a great time to recap the exciting reporting updates from 2024 and look forward to 2025 and the continued expansion of reporting capabilities on Qlik Cloud Analytics.

We packed 2024 with enhancements in reporting capabilities, featuring sought-after additions to both enterprise reporting and interactive distributions.

Quick recap:

Dynamic Subscriptions: Subscriptions can now utilize dynamic expressions, and users can preview them. You can perform an ad hoc multi-sheet download, and if you like it, you can schedule it for future delivery.

On-Demand Reports: Report developers can make Tabular or PixelPerfect reports available on-demand within an app, allowing users to set their selections and download reports immediately.

Cycling Feature: Developers have increased control with the addition of cycling (repeating a report per dimension) within task configurations.

Task History: Developers can now see up to 90 days of report task execution history.

PDF Output: PDF output for Tabular reporting has been introduced.

Integrated PixelPerfect Editor: An in-app integrated PixelPerfect report editor is now available, enabling users to create visually stunning, highly customized reports with pixel-level precision. Reminder - Developers can enhance their editing skills through a free e-learning module.

For details on the 2024 releases, check out the "What's New" section and filter on Analytics > Reporting and Alerting.

Reporting from Qlik Cloud Analytics on the help site should be your starting point for understanding the power and flexibility of reporting on Qlik Cloud Analytics. Take the time to review it in detail, it is very comprehensive!

Looking ahead to 2025*

Work is already underway on some exciting capabilities:

New Report Authoring Tools: In addition to PixelPerfect, an embedded in-app HTML editor is in development to support authoring of HTML report templates. These templates can serve as the email body for task distributions when using the email channel; HTML attachments will also be supported.

Multi-Template Distribution: The report task will expand to allow multi-template report distribution. Developers will manage tasks that include HTML report bodies and attachments for Tabular, PixelPerfect, and HTML templates.

Enhanced Reporting Guardrails: We will also expand some of our reporting guardrails in line with customer reporting growth.
- [Update March 2025] - A guardrail increase to the number of report tasks a user can create (currently 100) is scheduled for released in the 2nd half of March - please keep an eye on What's New for confirmation. The new limit will be 1000.
New Straight Table - download column totals: The new straight table is getting a boost with some ad hoc download controls including the inclusion of column totals.
- [UPDATE March 2025] - Now released to market see the short video here - watch for a future updates to this capability to have an additional toggle for formatting.

We are also investigating other areas of customer feedback, such as dynamic filter import, and dynamic filename definition. Please continue sharing your ideas on our community ideation portal - the status of reporting topics in ideation is up to date as of this post. Stay tuned and start planning for Qlik Connect!!!

Hello @Andrew_Kruger, awesome work with this report editor! You can easily create the template and also has tons of options to configure every detail of the report if you want to go deeper.

Besides that, while it's good that we can follow the tutorial, it's posted on talend academy and I can't log in with my Qlik user and I haven't found a way to create a user to log in so I can track my progress.

Is there a way for Qlik users or partners to create the user in Talend Academy?

@rubenmarin I think if you click on the Get Started button you fill find you can proceed...?

Hi @Andrew_Kruger, yes, I can follow all the tutorial but the completed percentages are not registered.

I know it's a minor issue but it will be nice if the app could track the advancement and start directly from where I was the last time. I suppose it will work that way for logged users.

If Qlik will continue to use talend academy for other products tutorials it will be nice if we could log with our Qlik users... or maybe there is already a way to do that and I don't know how, that's why I was asking.
