A few weeks ago, I published a post on how we built Choose Your Champion 2026, a World Cup bracket app powered by Qlik. That post went into the technical details: the data model, the ML experiment in Qlik Predict, the React front end. If you haven't read it, start there.
So far, 90+ brackets have been submitted. One of them wasn't filled out by a person at all. It was generated by the machine learning model we trained with Qlik Predict, using FIFA rankings, player ratings, and head-to-head history. The model has Spain winning it all!
Here's mine, and here's Qlik Predict's.
If you haven't filled one out yet, do it here. Once you're in, use the Compare button on the leaderboard to see where your picks differ from mine, or from the model's. Brackets get scored automatically as matches are played, so the leaderboard will keep moving all the way to the final on July 19.
We also opened up a Choose Your Champion space on Qlik Community. That's where we'll be posting leaderboard updates during the tournament, and where you can share your bracket, ask questions about the app, or make your case for why the model got it wrong.
If you're interested in the broader question of when models beat human intuition (and when they don't), take a look at Model vs. Mastery.
Enjoy the tournament!!

Show MoreQlik constantly refines its Analytics, over time replacing old charts with new, modernized alternatives. These deprecations are announced well in advance and come with instructions on how to best replace these old charts, whether that is to use a new one, several new ones, or make use of new settings.
This blog post covers the deprecation of charts in May 2027 and offers you guidance on how to replace them.
What charts are being deprecated and when?
The following seven visualization bundle charts are up for deprecation in May 2027. Most have already been removed from the asset panel and are no longer a part of recent applications.
- The Bar and Area chart
- The old Bullet chart
- The old Heatmap chart
- The Button for navigation
- The Share button
- The Show/Hide container
- The old Tabbed container
- The Multi KPI
What do I use instead?
Since these are old charts, most are no longer in use. If you happen to still have a very old application and need to replace deprecated charts, see Visualization bundle > Deprecated charts for more information on what to use instead.
How do I find out if my apps are using the deprecated charts?
Qlik recommends reviewing your apps for old charts. Depending on your platform (Qlik Cloud or Client-managed), there are different methods you can deploy.
Qlik Cloud
Qlik Cloud administrators should use the Qlik Cloud Monitoring Apps to track the usage. The App Analyzer has a sheet dedicated to where deprecated charts are being used on a tenant in Qlik Cloud. The App Analyzer is based on usage events rather than scanning every app. Use the App Analyzer to find which apps and sheets have charts that need to be updated to newer and more modern alternatives. The easiest way to install and update the Qlik Cloud Monitoring Apps is to use the automation template. If you already have the App Analyzer, just remove the automation and install a new one to get the latest version of the App Analyzer.
Client-managed
For client-managed installations, use the Monitoring apps. The Content Monitor app has a sheet for tracking deprecated charts. At reload, the Content Monitor app scans every app in the installation in order to list all applications and sheets that are using charts that are being deprecated. It also lists the installed extensions and their deprecation status. The Monitoring apps are bundled with the Qlik Analytics installation. The first version with the new sheet will be included in the May 2026 release. If you want to track usage in prior versions, the deprecated chart usage scanner will also be available on the product download page.

Updated April 24th, 2026: added impact on APIs (all down) and additional clarification on why tasks must be stopped and the impact on remote engines
Updated May 7th, 2026: added additional information on how to address Remote Engine impact
Updated May 12th, 2026: the anticipated impact for the remaining maintenance window has increased from 30 minutes to 90 minutesTalend Cloud and Talend Management Console will undergo scheduled maintenance in March, April, and May. This infrastructure modernization is a key step in unifying the Talend ecosystem with Qlik.
The alignment paves the way for a more seamless experience across both platforms. Over the coming months, you will gain access to integrated features that bridge data integration and analytics, enabling unified governance and a streamlined management experience across your entire data lifecycle.
The maintenance windows will occur per region, during off-peak hours, and are expected to have a maximum of 90 minutes of effective downtime.
What is the expected impact?
A full outage of Talend Cloud and Talend Management Console for a duration of up to 90 minutes within a preplanned 4-hour window.
The following applications will not be accessible:
- Talend Management Console (TMC)
- Talend Data Stewardship (TDS)
- Talend Data Preparation (TDP)
- Talend Data Inventory (TDC)
- Talend Pipeline Designer (TPD)
- Talend API Designer and Tester
- Talend Studio
- Talend Cloud Engines
All APIs for Talend Cloud will not be available during the outage. APIs impacted:
In detail:
- Cloud engines will not be available, and executions running on Cloud Engines will be terminated.
- Talend Studio users may be disconnected from their session, and it will not be possible to open a new Talend Studio session except in local mode.
- Executions that are already in progress during the outage will terminate correctly except on cloud engines, but all tasks or plans scheduled to start during those periods will be skipped.
- Skipped executions will not be tagged as failed, since they were never started. For this reason, check the execution status of your tasks and plans to ensure that all important ones are not skipped, or start them manually if necessary. See What do I need to do to prepare? further down in this blog post.
- Static IP addresses for Cloud Engines corresponding to Disaster Recovery regions will change during maintenance. See What follow-up actions are required? further down in this blog post.
What do I need to do to prepare?
- It is recommended to pause existing task runs during the maintenance window. Talend Remote Engines will continue processing tasks during the outage if they started before the maintenance window, but as they may have inconsistent statuses, we recommend pausing all tasks beforehand.
This concerns all jobs and plans scheduled to start or run during the maintenance window.
See Checking scheduled task runs against your maintenance timetable on how to identify these plans and jobs.Looking for information on how to identify, pause, and resume your tasks? See How to get Talend Management Console task schedules and pause and resume during a maintenance window using the API.
- If you are running Remote Engine Gen2, upgrade to the latest 2026-04. This is to prevent RE Gen2 from becoming unavailable after the maintenance. To do so:
- Upgrade your Remote Engine Gen2 to the latest 2026-04 release: Updating the Remote Engine Gen2 when installed using the execution script)
- Then re-establish the pairing: Re-establish the pairing of Remote Engine Gen2
What follow-up actions are required?
- After the maintenance window, check and monitor the execution status of tasks and plans, as well as the status of your Remote Engines.
In some instances, Remote Engines might require a restart if marked as unavailable in the Talend Management Console or if tasks cannot be executed as expected.
If restarting the Remote Engine does not resolve the complication, follow the pairing instructions in Pairing Remote Engines using a dedicated web service to reset the key and re-pair the Remote Engine.
If your Remote Engine Gen2 is unavailable or cannot execute tasks, then:
- Upgrade your Remote Engine Gen2 to the latest 2026-04 release: Updating the Remote Engine Gen2 when installed using the execution script)
- And re-establish the pairing: Re-establish the pairing of Remote Engine Gen2
- If you use a predefined static IP on Cloud Engine, you will need to allow the new Disaster Recovery Region's IP addresses, which will have changed at this point. While this does not immediately affect production, it will impact any potential Disaster Recovery process.
After the maintenance window, check your static IPs (Disaster Recovery) as documented in Using predefined static IP addresses for execution containers and update your firewalls accordingly.
No change is required for the active region's IP addresses. They will be migrated and will work as of today, ensuring no production interruption.
When will the maintenance take place?
Each region will undergo maintenance for 4 hours during off-peak hours, with a maximum of 90 minutes of effective downtime.

In this article, Don Pinto & Chris Ortega break down the difference between context capture — inventorying schemas, tracing lineage, classifying assets — and context delivery: publishing trusted data products with live trust signals, enforcing contracts, and routing governed data to the analytics and AI agents that depend on it. Both matter. They're not the same thing.
Not all catalogs are governance tools, and not all governance programs deliver outcomes. Learn the difference between context capture and context delivery — and what it takes to make governance actually work.

Important update on SAP Data Access Restrictions and your Qlik Integration
Dear Qlik Customers, In April 2026, SAP published a series of updates that will restrict your ability to extract certain SAP data using Qlik products. We are writing to explain what is changing, what it means for your Qlik integration, what you can do next, and how Qlik is responding.

In April 2026, SAP published a series of updates that will restrict your ability to extract certain SAP data using Qlik products. We are writing to explain what is changing, what it means for your Qlik integration, what you can do next, and how Qlik is responding.SAP Announcement
SAP has recently updated SAP Note 3255746 and its API Policy, which together prevent customers from using the ODP-RFC interface to perform bulk data extractions to non-SAP systems. Here is what you need to know.
Impacted Qlik Products:
The CDC connectivity via ODP will be at most risk by the implementation of the June 9th SAP security update, as it will be blocked. The main products affected are:
- Qlik Talend Cloud SAP ODP Connector
- Qlik Replicate SAP ODP Endpoint
Other impacted products that also offer ODP functionality are:
- Qlik Analytics (Qlik Sense / QlikView) SAP ODP Connector
- Talend Studio Component tSAPODPInput
The following Qlik Products do not use the ODP-RFC interface and therefore will not be impacted by the June SAP Security update:
- Qlik Gold Client
What's Changing and When:
- June 9, 2026: SAP will release a security patch that will begin blocking “unrestricted” calls from non-SAP applications, including affected Qlik connectors, that rely on the ODP-RFC interface.
- Temporary revert option: In SAP’s Operational Data Provisioning (ODP) Update Public FAQ, it is stated that “SAP provides a time-limited option to revert to unrestricted ODP-RFC calls. This flexibility will expire on December 2026.” This implies that SAP customers may be able to temporarily roll back this restriction, but only until December.
Recommended Next Steps
- Review the SAP Notes: Independently review SAP Note 3255746 (reclassification notice) and SAP Note 3439624 (self-assessment tool) via the SAP Support Portal at support.sap.com. Address your concerns and feedback through the appropriate SAP channels.
- Contract Review: Review your customer agreement and the API Policy, updated in April, 2026, to evaluate SAP’s ability to make unilateral changes to your data access rights, and to require additional purchases and/or charge egress fees.
- Audit your environment: SAP has released a self-assessment tool (SAP Note 3439624, available April 13, 2026) to help you identify all current ODP-RFC usage across your systems.
- The Qlik SAP ODP Connector will show as “unpermitted”, which means it will be blocked by the SAP June Security patch
- The Qlik SAP OData Connector will show as “permitted”, which implies it will continue to work with the SAP June Security
patch
- Evaluate Qlik’s Alternative SAP Connectors: Qlik supports several methods for SAP connectors, including OData and SAP Extractors. We continue to enhance our connectors and are looking to release a new SAP connector due later this year, which may prove a viable alternative.
- Work with Qlik: Reach out to your Qlik representative before implementing the SAP June Security patch, so we can partner with you on alternate Qlik solutions and ways to address these SAP restrictions. Together, we can evaluate your specific environment, understand your connectivity needs, and align on the best path forward before the December 2026 deadline.
Our Commitment
You should be in control of your business-critical data, wherever it creates value. Without interoperable architectures, SAP customers like you face higher costs, performance issues, and less freedom to choose, including loss of flexibility in implementing AI.
Qlik already supports alternatives to ODP and is actively developing additional migration paths and solutions to preserve your flexibility through this transition and beyond. We will continue to work on viable alternatives to our ODP endpoints and help you navigate this change on your terms, not SAP's. To learn more about how Qlik can support your specific environment, please reach out to your Qlik representative.

This communication reflects Qlik's current interpretation of SAP's restrictions, which are outside our control and subject to change. Customers should consult SAP's official communications and seek independent guidance on operational and legal impact. Roadmap statements are forward-looking and not commitments; disruptions arising from SAP's decisions do not constitute a defect in Qlik's products or services.

Edited 3rd of June, 2026: Added ?features=CLIENT_TLV_1804_LESS_CARDS,TLV_1804_NEW_DEFAULT_THEME URL for reviewing themes, which replaces the previous URL; clarified top level selector warning.Qlik Cloud will now see the changes on or after August 18th, 2026.
Qlik is introducing changes to how custom themes in Qlik Analytics applications are handled, which may impact your CSS-styled themes if they include unsupported CSS modifications. This also applies to other means of modifying the CSS, such as the sheet input box, the Multi KPI CSS input, or any other 3rd party extension that allows CSS input.
These changes will impact both Qlik Cloud Analytics and Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows.
For more information about custom themes, see Uploading and managing themes.
Why are these changes being made?
These changes improve how theming works in Qlik Analytics applications, which will enable us to deliver better-looking dashboards and generally enhanced theming.
What is being changed?
We’re restructuring theme settings:
- Removal of base card CSS overrides
- A theme with the _cards:true setting gets the base styles imported as JSON into the theme
- Removal of extra title padding for objects without title in a cards theme
- Replace the following with theme JSON settings:
- padding: applied on object level; the gap between border and object
- margin: applied on sheet level; the gap between objects
And we are adding new themes:
- Foundation (default)
- New Horizon
How can I verify if my themes are affected?
- Open any app that uses your custom theme and append the following to the URL: ?features=CLIENT_TLV_1804_LESS_CARDS,TLV_1804_NEW_DEFAULT_THEME
This will enable the flag to run your themes with the changes before they are released. - Verify that everything looks as you expect it to
- Review your browser's developer tools for any eventual JavaScript errors
Future-proof your themes
We’ve compiled a list of supported styling options for you that can already replace the need for custom CSS. See Obsolete CSS modifications.
Additionally, see the table below for an overview of the new theme properties that you can use in your theme instead of CSS. You will first need to enable the /feature/CLIENT_TLV_1804_LESS_CARDS flag to see them in effect in the application.
Theme Option Path in theme JSON Example Sheet background sheet.backgroundColor
"sheet": { "backgroundColor": "#f2f2f2"
}Sheet margin sheet.margin
"sheet": { "margin": "10px"
}Object paddings object.padding
"object": { "padding": "20px" // or "10px 10px 5px 10px"
}Borders
object.borderWidth
"object": { "borderWidth": "1px"
}object.borderColor
"object": { "borderColor": "#d9d9d9"
}
object.borderRadius
"object": { "borderWidth": "3px"
}Shadows object.shadow.boxShadow
"object": {
"shadow": {
"boxShadow": "0px 4px 10px 0px", "boxShadowColor": "#d9d9d9"
}
}object.shadow.boxShadowColor
"object": {
"shadow": {
"boxShadow": "0px 4px 10px 0px", "boxShadowColor": "#d9d9d9"
}
}To give you more context: Document Object Model (DOM) selectors in custom CSS are not a supported pattern. While they can be helpful for customizing the look and feel of applications, the DOM is subject to change at any time. To provide your feedback, raise tickets on the Qlik Ideation portal when you need custom CSS customization. This helps prioritize supported customization options to add to the platform.
Do not use top-level selectors such as qv-client or qv-card. These selectors are planned for removal in future versions. See CSS best practices for Sense themes for more information.
An example theme selector could be:
.qv-client.qv-card #grid .qv-object-wrapper .qv-object to change the border of all objects on sheets. When the change is made, the top level .qv-card class will be removed fromt the <body> tag, which breaks the selector.
It would need to change to: .qv-client #grid .qv-object-wrapper .qv-object to work after the update.
However it still uses the top level .qv-client, that, while not removed in this update, will be removed in the future, and is not present in certain qlik-embed scenarios. Meaning we are left with #grid .qv-object-wrapper .qv-object.
In summary, if you absolutely still need to use custom css, remove the top level selectors.What action do I need to take and when?

Take in 8 divisions, 42 departments, 84 services, and 214 staff in one view. Each top-level branch gets its own color and passes it down to its descendants, so the structure is easy to follow. Click a node to light up its path to the root, with the selection cross-filtering the whole sheet.
Impact
A hands-on walkthrough of all major features in action: click selections, chain mode, label formats, coloring, grouping options, tooltips, and more.
Audience
Qlik developers and BI consultants looking to visualize org charts, product taxonomies, file structures, and any nested-category data in their dashboards.
Data and advanced analytics
Built with the Circular Dendrogram extension for Qlik Sense, released in May 2026. Based on fictional hospital organization data.

Show MoreOne of the core goals of the Qlik Academic Program is to help students develop practical analytics and AI skills that complement their academic studies and prepare them for the workplace.
Over the past few weeks, we had the opportunity to support two very different—but equally valuable—student learning experiences in the United Kingdom and Poland. While one focused on preparing students for the Qlik Business Analyst Qualification, the other explored advanced predictive analytics and AI capabilities with master's students looking to deepen their technical expertise.
Together, these sessions demonstrate the breadth of opportunities available through the Qlik Academic Program and the importance of connecting students with both industry-relevant skills and real-world technologies.

Show MoreAn update is being deployed to Qlik Cloud tenants starting May 28th (today), offering improved governance of the Qlik Analytics mobile app. See Setting permissions for the Qlik Analytics mobile app.
What does the update include?
A new version of the Qlik Analytics mobile app is now available for download (in app stores). In addition, Tenant Administrators can now manage user access using three scopes:
- Allowed (standard mobile app access)
- Not Allowed (mobile app access denied)
- Allowed with Intune (mobile access with mandatory Intune enrollment)
In addition to access controls, these scopes strengthen the Microsoft Intune integration through a new server-side control for MAM deployment, replacing the previously user-controlled MAM toggle.
What does this mean for me?
The update takes effect once users update to the latest version of the mobile app. For most existing users, there will be no impact, as the default scope is set to Allowed, a control point not available in the previous release.
If you use Qlik Analytics and Intune
The following two things need to be taken into consideration:
- The solution now requires Microsoft Edge as the browser for the Qlik Cloud authorization flow.
- If you have deployed the Qlik Analytics app via MDM Intune, you will need to modify the scope for those users to be Allowed with Intune.
Some users may experience authentication issues after updating to the new version of the mobile app if this configuration is not completed by the Tenant Administrator.
Reference the configuration specifications for more information:
- Setting permissions for the Qlik Analytics mobile app
- Securing and configuring the Qlik Analytics mobile app with Microsoft Intune

Since then, and thanks to lots of individual contributors here in the Community, the Search Cheat Sheet has suffered several transformations to make it more complete and truthful.
@afurtado wrote me an email a few weeks ago because he was interested in getting the document localized for the Brazilian folks out there. In addition to thank him for his contribution and sending him the file I decided that it was about the time to get the Search Cheat Sheet an update.
Today I want to introduce a new version of the document. I added the compound search section to it (@jayanttibhe thanks for the tip), and I redesigned and rationalized the position of each element for better comprehension.
As an extra, I made the document multilanguage ready. So, if someone wants to translate the Cheat Sheet to other language (currently available in English, Spanish and Portuguese) please let me know in the comments section and I'll gladly tell you how to help us.
Hope you like it, and please share it.
Arturo
Updates:
Feb 28: French version thanks to @arychener
Feb 25: Italian added thanks to @AntonioCostantino . Russian translation updated
Feb 13, 2020: Cheat sheet includes now the ^ Wildcard to be consistent with Qlik Help. Russian language added thanks to the contribution of @martynova
Jan 29, 2020: German language added thanks to the contribution of @g_mitschke

Show MoreSnowflake is rolling out stronger authentication requirements as part of their platform security initiative. Starting May 2026, new connections using only username and password will no longer be accepted, and all existing password-only connections will stop working between August and October 2026.
For the full rollout schedule, see Snowflake's authentication enforcement timeline.
If your Qlik Sense Cloud Analytics, Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows, or QlikView environment connects to Snowflake, you will need to update those connections to use either key-pair authentication or OAuth before this change takes effect.
Who does this apply to?
This applies to any Qlik Cloud Analytics, Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows, and QlikView connection to Snowflake, where the authentication method is set to Username and Password only. Connections that already use key-pair authentication or OAuth do not need to change.
To check your connections, review the Data connections and look for any Snowflake connections using username and password authentication.
What are my migration options?
There are two supported authentication methods you can migrate to.
Key-Pair Authentication
Key-pair authentication uses an RSA private/public key pair assigned to the Snowflake user account. It is the most straightforward migration path and does not require an identity provider. This option is recommended for most customers.
For setup steps, see Snowflake key-pair authentication documentation and the Qlik Snowflake connector guide.
OAuth
OAuth integrates with your existing identity provider (such as Okta or Azure AD) and is well-suited for organisations that want centralised access control and token-based authentication. It requires an OAuth security integration to be configured in Snowflake.
See the Qlik Snowflake connector guide and Snowflake OAuth documentation.
OAuth support for Snowflake was introduced to Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows with our May 2026 release.
