Qlik Community

Good day Qlik Community,

I know must of you are not yet subscribed to the Data Voyagers YouTube channel (if that's the case, I kindly ask, please do, it will help us and you will get some very interesting content).

For that reason, let me just point out to the latest content we uploaded. We have recorded several videos at the last Qlik Connect that are all under the "Qlik Community Talk" playlist. Check it out:

Community Talks - Data Voyagers

Today my team is celebrating 10 years of the first Qlik app we built outside the standard analytics use case. The Vicki Remote Logs Analyzer app is a monitoring application that compiles logs from multiple services across the environment. It started as visibility, then alerting, and eventually we wired it to AWS Lambda so it can trigger self-healing actions directly from the analytics layer.

That app changed how we think about Qlik internally. We already had plenty of dashboards and analytical apps. This one proved that with Qlik available at enterprise scope, if a data source exists, we can ingest it, model it, and act on it. The line between "BI tool" and "operational platform" disappeared for us.

The internal conversation is no longer "what should we build in Qlik?" It is "which platform do we retire next and let Qlik do the job?"

A question for the community:

What is the most unexpected use of Qlik you have built or come across?

IT operations, automation, security, internal workflows, anything outside the standard BI patterns. Curious to see what people are running with it.

Hi I will write a very small program for managing rest calls. The idea is to use JSON and maybe a format that other programs can understand. Is the Talend API Tester - Free Edition and option or is the file format proprietary? I need the format to be open and free. If no which format is best if the aim is to have something working in more than one program? Postman?

From the moment you start exploring the Qlik Community this month, there’s a good chance you’ll come across the work of Priscila Rubim. Based in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Priscila has quickly established herself as an emerging voice in the Qlik ecosystem, consistently showing up, contributing thoughtfully, and building a strong presence across the Community.

Whether it’s engaging in discussions, sharing knowledge, or connecting with others at events like Qlik Connect, Priscila has become a familiar and impactful contributor. She’s also an active member of the Women Who Qlik group, where she continues to support and uplift others in the data space.

Priscila works across data science, data analysis, and data development, with a strong focus on Qlik. Before transitioning into the data field, she built her academic foundation in Chemistry and completed her PhD in 2023. During that time, she began pivoting into technology and analytics in 2022, where she discovered what she describes as “a great passion for transforming data into insights.”

She enjoys spending time in the Qlik Community because it provides a space to learn, exchange ideas, and help others solve real challenges. As she puts it, it’s “a great space to learn, exchange ideas, and help other people solve real challenges,” while also allowing her to grow professionally and give back to others.

Outside of work, Priscila enjoys running, listening to music, playing video games, and continuing to learn new things, reflecting the same curiosity and drive she brings to her work in data.

Priscila, thank you for your continued contributions and engagement in the Qlik Community. Please join us in celebrating Priscila Rubim as our May 2026 Featured Member, and leave a comment below!

Hi All,

I defined a variable named vTotal Disputes Logged - Vol with the expression Num(Sum({<Status_New_Flag={1}>}Volume),'#,##0'). However, after publishing the app to Qlik Cloud, the variable does not evaluate correctly; instead, the text editor displays a completely different variable expression generated by a backend script for another purpose.

Actual Variable Expression: 

How it changed after pushed to Qlik Sense Cloud : 

But the same variable works well in the Enterprise environment.

and I noticed that everything works correctly when a user is defined as an ADMIN in the section access file, but errors occur when they are defined as a USER.

Help me find the root cause of this issue."

Yesterday, I received community swag and would like to say thank you…

The recognition had already made me very happy, and receiving these items made it even more special. There is so much care and kindness in this gesture, and it truly means a lot.

Side note: Karppi and Scully,the biggest gossip girls in this house, loved them too! 😛

Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart.

I was just completing the ending quiz for the module “Data Manager Associations, Concatenations and Joins” and noticed a possible issue with two of the questions.

On questions 1 and 3 (although I’m not sure if the questions are always the same), it asked me to select 2/3 correct answers, but only provided 2/3 answer options. This essentially gave away the correct answers automatically.

Just wanted to flag it in case it needs looking into.

Every KB link from within a community post recently has failed for me (I can't tell if it is really broken, or if a company policy is blocking it due to a bad certificate or something).  Is this happening to everyone?  The broken links begin 'support.qlik.com.'

I am having my second system-down incident in a week, and I keep seeing promising leads but always hit a dead end.  It is very frustrating, since most of the posts are created by customers and partners (myself included), but now the answers are all taken away.

Hey, here is some context:

The team converted some old ERP system into Qlik, which was a beautiful work, but now, the reload time increased substantially compared to their old ERP. 
Any ideas? We also dont plan to  increase capacity costs.

We’re continuing into the spring by spotlighting a Community member who brings years of experience, consistency, and a strong passion for helping others. For our April 2026 Featured Member, we’re excited to recognize Daniele Purrone!

Originally from Italy, Daniele moved to Sweden in 2009, where he now lives with his wife Helena and their 12-year-old daughter Aurora. He enjoys spending time with his family.

Daniele has been with Qlik since 2014, working within the support organization. Over the years, he started with QlikView, transitioned to Qlik Sense, and in recent years has focused almost exclusively on Qlik Cloud Analytics. His experience across multiple generations of Qlik products gives him a strong perspective when helping others.

He enjoys posting in the Qlik Community because he genuinely likes being able to assist. Beyond that, staying active in discussions helps him identify trends and issues early, often before they turn into formal support cases, ultimately helping reduce workload for his team.

Outside of work, Daniele has several big passions. He is a dedicated supporter of Genoa CFC, the oldest football team in Italy, a connection he describes as unbreakable. He is also a huge hard rock and metal fan, with Deep Purple as his favorite band. In his free time, he has written pieces and conducted interviews with major bands including Metallica, Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Motörhead, and Deep Purple.

He also enjoys reading, both fiction (especially sci-fi and fantasy) and history. Another personal interest of his is the architectural and urban evolution of cities he has lived in. He collects old maps and photos and enjoys learning about the history of places in as much detail as possible.

Daniele, thank you for your continued contributions and engagement in the Qlik Community. Please join us in celebrating Daniele Purrone as our April 2026 Featured Member, and leave a comment below!

Hi.   I am using Talend API Tester.   It's a great product.   I am using the Community Edition. 

I get the document that I requested by my GET or POST.   But some of the time, I would like to see the interpreted version.   Instead of <input type="checkbox" id="yesOrNo" checked> I would like to see a picture of a checkbox. 

Is there a way to make the tool do that?  Some way to say "don't put the output here; put it in this other tab, over there?"  I can buy the cloud subscription, if that's best. 

I am unable to access the change store api of an app in a managed space that I have full access to while using a rest connection in the data load editor (I can for apps in shared spaces or get to the data through automate). 

Is this expected behavior for Write Tables in Managed Spaces or should I still be able to pull the change store data to use elsewhere such as store as a qvd?

Thank you

We’re continuing the momentum this spring by recognizing a Qlik Community member who brings deep experience, thoughtful engagement, and a genuine passion for helping others. For our March 2026 Featured Member, we’re excited to spotlight Ken Thomas, a long-time Qlik advocate and active voice in the Community.

Ken lives in North Carolina, where he spends as much time as possible outdoors running, hiking, camping, hammocking, and even making bubbles (you might know him as @RaleighBubbleMan on Instagram). His curiosity and energy outside carry over into the way he approaches his work and his involvement in the Qlik Community.

Professionally, he is a contractor supporting the EPA’s Qlik system, where he has spent many years working across support, administration, development, and usability. His journey with Qlik spans well over a decade, including time working directly at Qlik as a Technical Support Specialist. Since then, Qlik products have remained a constant in his career.

Ken frequently turns to the Qlik Community to find answers and stay sharp, but he doesn’t just consume knowledge, he contributes to it. He stays actively engaged by answering questions, posting thoughtful inquiries, submitting and voting on enhancement ideas, and replying to ongoing discussions. His approach reflects something deeper than technical expertise. As he shares, it’s simply part of his nature to try to help others as much as he can.

Across all corners of the internet, he looks for ways to provide feedback, improve what’s incomplete, and contribute where things are missing or unclear. That mindset perfectly embodies what makes the Qlik Community strong: members who not only seek solutions, but actively shape them.

Ken, thank you for your continued support, insight, and generosity within the Community. Please join us in celebrating Ken Thomas as our March 2026 Featured Member, and leave a comment below!

Data doesn’t stand still - and keeping up with every change isn’t always easy.

There’s now a new way to help surface what matters most. Discovery Agent works in the background to highlight meaningful changes across your data so you can stay informed without constantly checking dashboards.

If you’re curious how it works and what it can do, we’ve shared more details in the Innovation Blog.
