    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

    Talend Cloud and Talend Management Console will undergo scheduled maintenance in MarchApril, and MayThis 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 30 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 30 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 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.

     

    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.

      Remote Engines might require a restart if marked as unavailable in the Talend Management Console.

    • 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 30 minutes of effective downtime.

    Beginning on April 14, 2026, multiple QlikView customers experienced outages and intermittent disruptions within their QlikView environments. These incidents coincided with the deployment of Microsoft’s April 2026 security patches to Domain Controllers, which affected QlikView Server Service (QVS) communications over port 4747.

    The Microsoft patches introduced changes targeting Kerberos authentication and RC4 encryption. See Addendum for a list of patches. As a result, QlikView environments where RC4 remained enabled (such as at the domain account or Windows server level) became unstable or non-functional.

    The impact on QlikView may include, but is not limited to:

    • Failed QlikView Distribution Server distribution tasks with an error code indicating an Authentication Failure.
    • "No Server" message on the QlikView AccessPoint with an error message in the Web server log indicating that the Web server cannot connect to the QlikView Server.
    • Failed Qlik NPrinting distributions to QlikView using a QVP Connection.
    • Problems accessing the QlikView Server settings from the QlikView Management Console, or failures for the QlikView Server to come online after a restart.

     

    What can be done to mitigate this issue?

    Temporary mitigation measures have included rolling back the Microsoft patches on Domain Controllers, redirecting QlikView servers to unpatched controllers, and applying configuration changes such as removing RC4 ciphers and resetting QlikView service account credentials. These approaches have yielded partial success, particularly in older QlikView deployments.

    For information from Microsoft on how to address the issue, see Detect and remediate RC4 usage in Kerberos.

    Qlik Support is actively investigating and working to reproduce the issue across different customer scenarios to further validate root causes and identify consistent solutions. Subscribe to this blog post to be alerted when additional information is available.

     

    What action is Qlik taking?

    RC4 support was deprecated starting with the May 2024 release of QlikView. The root cause in these cases stems from legacy configurations where RC4 remained enabled in the environment, rather than a defect in QlikView itself. No code changes are planned at this time, though improvements to diagnostic logging are under consideration.

    Building a World Cup Bracket App powered by Qlik

    With less than 50 days to go before the 2026 World Cup kicks off across the US, Canada, and Mexico, I wanted to share a project I've been working on that brings together a few pieces of the Qlik platform I think work really well together: Choose Your Champion 2026.

    It's a web app where anyone can fill out their World Cup bracket, get AI-powered predictions for every possible matchup in the tournament powered by Qlik Predict, explore historical World Cup data, and compete on a leaderboard as the competition unfolds.

    You can try it here: https://webapps.qlik.com/choose-your-champion-2026/index.html#/ 

    Screenshot 2026-04-24 at 7.11.24 AM.png

    The app is powered by Qlik, with Qlik Cloud Analytics for the data model and Historical Analysis, Qlik Predict for the matchup predictions, and various Qlik APIs to wire everything into a React front-end.

    In this post, I'll walk through how the predictions work under the hood, because that was the most interesting piece to build.

    What's in the app:

    Choose Your Champion is broken into 4 parts:

    • Build a bracket: Pick your group stage winners, advance teams through the knockout rounds, and lock in your champion.

     

    • Check the predictions: For every possible matchup in the tournament, the app surfaces a Qlik Predict generated win probability for each team plus a draw probability. When you're unsure about a matchup, you can pull up the prediction and use it to decide which team advances.

    Screenshot 2026-04-24 at 7.13.20 AM.png

    Screenshot 2026-04-24 at 7.13.38 AM.png

     

    • Explore historical World Cup data: The app includes various visualizations to help you uncover insights from past tournaments: goals, top scorers, host nation performance, biggest upsets. All powered by the associative engine.

    Screenshot 2026-04-24 at 7.16.20 AM.png

     

    • Leaderboard: As real matches get played in June and July, submitted brackets are scored automatically and players are ranked in the leaderboard table.

    Screenshot 2026-04-24 at 7.18.31 AM.png

     

    Under the hood: how the predictions work

    This was the fun part. The goal was simple, given two national teams, predict the outcome of a hypothetical match (team A wins / draw / team B wins), but the work that makes the predictions actually useful is mostly in the data, not the model (thanks to no-code ML with Qlik Predict).

    1. The training dataset

    I started with every international football match result from 1872 to March 2026. There's a well-maintained open dataset on GitHub (credit: martj42/international_results) that gets updated after every international window, about 49,000 matches in total.

    From that raw history, I built a training dataset focused on the modern era (2010 onwards) and only competitive matches (qualifiers, continental tournaments, World Cup finals). Friendlies got filtered out because they're noisy since teams often don't play their A squads, and the stakes don't match what happens in a real tournament.

    That left me with around 9,400 training rows, each representing a real historical match with a known result, enriched with 27 features describing both teams' state going into that match:

    • Elo ratings for both teams
    • FIFA rankings and points snapshot to the match date
    • Rolling 10-match form per team: win rate, goals for, goals against, goal difference
    • Head-to-head history in the last 10 meetings
    • Context flags: neutral venue, tournament tier, cross-confederation
    • World Cup pedigree: a score rewarding teams for deep runs in past tournaments, with more recent success weighted heavier

     

    2. ML Experiment

    Once the training CSV was in shape, I uploaded it to Qlik Predict, pointed at the result column as the target, and let it do its thing. This is where Qlik Predict really shines, zero code needed. No Python notebooks, no sklearn, no hyperparameter grids to tune. You just upload your data, pick a target, and it does the heavy lifting with full explainability on the outcomes and what drives the predictions.

    Qlik Predict runs multiple algorithms in parallel: LightGBM, CatBoost, XGBoost, Random Forest, and a few others, tunes their hyperparameters, and picks the best performer by F1.

    Screenshot 2026-04-24 at 12.15.23 AM.png

    On my first run, I left all the columns in the dataset checked, including the team name columns (team_a, team_b). When I looked at the SHAP importance chart afterward, team_b and team_a were ranking as the #2 and #3 most influential features, meaning the model was essentially learning "team X usually wins" rather than learning from the engineered features.

    I created a new version, went back to the Data tab, unchecked the team name columns and a few date fields (which were also ranking higher than they should), and re-ran the experiment. Qlik Predict automatically dropped several more low-importance features during training, leaving a clean, focused feature set. The F1 did not change a lot (stayed at ~0.50), but the SHAP chart now showed the model leaning on exactly the signals we want:

    1. elo_diff
    2. rank_diff
    3. is_neutral
    4. h2h_team_a_advantage
      etc...

    Screenshot 2026-04-24 at 12.43.16 AM.png

     

    A few other calls that mattered:

    • Filtering to competitive matches only. A friendly between a top side's B squad and a mid-tier opponent tells you almost nothing about what happens in a World Cup group stage game.
    • Exponential decay on World Cup pedigree. A deep run in 1970 still counts, but less than one in 2022.
    • Removing rows with too many missing features. FIFA rankings don't go back to the 90s for every team, so some rows had to get dropped.

     

    3. The apply dataset

    Training gives you a model and to use it, you need an apply dataset with new rows you want predictions for.

    For Choose Your Champion, I generated every possible pairing of the 48 qualified teams, which comes out to 1,128 unique matchups. Each row has the same 27 features as the training dataset, but computed as a current snapshot: each team's Elo today, their current FIFA ranking, their most recent 10-match form, and so on.

    I fed that into the deployed model and got back a probability distribution for every matchup: P(team_a_win), P(draw), P(team_b_win).

    Screenshot 2026-04-24 at 7.35.44 AM.png

    The web app

    The web app is a React front-end that connects to the Qlik tenant over anonymous access via @qlik/api, so users never see a login screen or have to authenticate against a tenant. The bracket UI pulls predictions from the Qlik Sense data model, so whenever a user opens a matchup, they're looking at data straight from Qlik.

    For the historical World Cup section, I used a mix of @qlik/embed components when I needed a quick, ready-to-use chart, and custom nebula.js + picasso.js visualizations when I needed more control over the styling to match the app's look and feel. Both approaches work against the same underlying Qlik Analytics app, so everything stays consistent and governed in one place.

    Screenshot 2026-04-24 at 7.53.56 AM.png

     

    A few takeaways

    If you're thinking about building something similar, a few things worth keeping in mind:

    Spend the time on feature engineering. The difference between a model that predicts noise and one that predicts football is almost entirely in the features. Qlik Predict handles algorithm selection and tuning well, but it can only work with what you feed it.

    The integration is where Qlik Predict pays off. Once a model is deployed, scoring a new dataset and pulling scores back into a Qlik Cloud Analytics app takes one load script. No Python services to maintain, no separate MLOps platform to stand up, no JSON plumbing between systems. That end-to-end data prep, modeling, predictions, and analytics all living in one platform is the thing that made this project come together fast!

    Go fill out your bracket

    The World Cup starts June 11, so there's plenty of time to get your bracket in and earn your spot on the leaderboard before kickoff. If you're curious about how any of this was built, leave a comment or reach out to me directly!

    And if you want to learn more about Qlik Predict and start using it, visit: https://www.qlik.com/us/products/qlik-predict 

    P.S: I have attached both Training and Apply datasets if you'd like to use them in your own Qlik Predict experiment.

    Salesforce is rolling out mandatory security updates to how connected apps handle OAuth authentication.

     

    What does this mean for me?

    To keep your Qlik Automate Salesforce connector working after Tuesday, 5th May 2026, you'll need to take a quick, one-time action: update a setting in your connection and re-authenticate to Salesforce.

    This cannot be done automatically, nor can it be done before the release. A manual step is required on or after the 5th of May.

     

    Why is this happening?

    Salesforce has updated its OAuth security requirements for connected apps. You can read Salesforce's full announcement here: Mandatory Security Updates for Connected Apps.

    Qlik Automate has updated the Salesforce connector to comply with these new security requirements. However, because of the nature of this change, existing connections cannot be migrated automatically.

     

    What action do I need to take?

    Follow these steps after the release on Tuesday, the 5th of May:

    1. Open your Salesforce connection settings, navigate to the Salesforce connection in Qlik Automations, and open its configuration.

    2. Add your domain. In the connection settings, locate the Enhanced_domain field (an existing input field) and enter your Salesforce org's custom domain.

      Make sure to include the "my" suffix if your domain has it. By using this, the 'environment' input is ignored.

      Format: https://{enhanced_domain}.salesforce.com.

      If you're unsure of your domain, you can find it in your Salesforce org under Setup → My Domain.


    3. Re-authenticate. Once your domain is entered, you'll be prompted to log in to Salesforce again and authorize the updated app. Complete the login flow to re-establish the connection.

    4. Verify the connection. Run a test automation that uses the Salesforce connection to confirm everything is working correctly.

     

    What happens if I don't act?

    If you don't complete these steps after the release date, your Salesforce automations will stop working and return a 401 Unauthorized error. No data will be lost, but you will need to complete the steps above to restore access.

    From Dashboards to Decisions: What the Agentic Era Means for LATAM Universities

    Something quietly remarkable happened in the first quarter of 2026. While the public conversation was still asking whether AI agents would really change business, Gartner reported that 40% of enterprise applications are expected to integrate task-specific AI agents by the end of 2026, up from less than 5% a year ago.

    Something quietly remarkable happened in the first quarter of 2026. While the public conversation was still asking whether AI agents would really change business, Gartner reported that 40% of enterprise applications are expected to integrate task-specific AI agents by the end of 2026, up from less than 5% a year ago. G2's August 2025 survey of enterprise buyers found that 57% of companies already had AI agents in production, not as chatbots, but as autonomous systems executing workflows, monitoring compliance, and coordinating decisions across business functions.

    For those of us who work at the intersection of data, analytics, and higher education, this isn't a distant trend. It's a curriculum question.

    The shift is not from manual to automated. It's from tools to teammates.

    For two decades, the defining promise of business intelligence has been "self-service analytics", empower every user to query, visualize, and explore data themselves. In the agentic era, the paradigm changes. AI agents are not a new tool in the analyst's toolkit; they are analysts. They plan multi-step tasks, call APIs, reason across data sources, and increasingly execute actions without waiting for a human prompt.

    At Qlik Connect 2026, the message was direct: enterprises are closer to agentic AI than they think, because the foundation they already built, governed data, trusted metrics, clear business logic — is exactly what agents need to operate reliably. In February, the general availability of Qlik's Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server made it possible for third-party assistants, including Anthropic's Claude and OpenAI's ChatGPT, to access governed enterprise data through Qlik's APIs rather than scraping dashboards. The dashboard is no longer the endpoint. It's one of many surfaces where a decision gets made.

    The new skills gap is not technical. It's architectural.

    Here is the uncomfortable reality: Gartner projects that over 40% of agentic AI projects will fail by 2027, not because the models aren't capable, but because legacy systems, poor data architectures, and weak governance can't support autonomous execution. Deloitte's 2026 State of AI in the Enterprise report, based on a survey of 3,235 leaders across 24 countries, found that only 25% of organizations have moved 40% or more of their AI pilots into production, and just 21% have a mature governance model for autonomous AI agents.

    The scarce capability is no longer "who can build a dashboard." It is:

    • Who can design a KPI dictionary an agent can trust?
    • Who understands bounded autonomy, where humans set the rules and agents execute within them?
    • Who can distinguish explainable reasoning from confident hallucination?
    • Who can architect a data product that an agent can consume without a human in the middle?

    These are not niche skills reserved for data engineers. They are the new baseline for anyone graduating into a workforce where, by 2028, Gartner estimates 15% of day-to-day decisions will be made autonomously.

    The LATAM opportunity

    This is where Latin America has a genuine strategic window. Our universities often face the critique of "catching up" on technology adoption. In the agentic era, that framing is misleading, the agentic shift resets the starting line for everyone. Institutions, anywhere in the world, that graduate students fluent in data governance, explainable AI, and human-agent collaboration will be the ones supplying the talent that enterprises are already scrambling to hire.

    According to DataCamp's 2026 State of Data & AI Literacy Report, 88% of enterprise leaders say basic data literacy is important for day-to-day work, 60% report a data skills gap in their organization, and organizations with mature literacy programs are nearly twice as likely to see strong AI returns. The companies that will hire our graduates next year are telling us, in plain terms, what they need.

    What universities can do now

    Three practical moves that don't require launching a new degree program:

    1. Teach governance alongside analytics. Every data course should include a module on trust, lineage, and explainability, not as an afterthought, but as the foundation that makes agents usable.
    2. Shift from tool training to platform fluency. Students don't need to master one vendor; they need to understand how governed data, semantic layers, and agent orchestration fit together.
    3. Build industry-embedded learning paths. Programs like the Qlik Academic Program exist precisely because real agentic work happens on real data with real stakes. Classroom theory is not enough.

    The agentic era will not be defined by which models win. It will be defined by which people, and which regions,learned to work alongside them first.


    By giving students, professors, and universities free access to analytics software, learning content, and certifications, the Qlik Academic Program helps education stay aligned with the data trends shaping 2026 and prepares learners for the jobs of tomorrow.

    As a follow-up to my previous blog post titled Finance Report with Waterfall Chart, I wanted to share an awesome demo that showcases financial reporting visualizations including a profit & loss statement with a waterfall chart. Qlik's Dennis Jaskowiak and Ekaterina Kovalenko, and partner Dawid Marciniak from HighCoordination, created the Financial Analysis demo based off of Jedox data, incorporating many enhancements to the straight table and pivot table. In addition to the waterfall chart, they use inline SVG to create lollipop charts and bar charts in financial statements.

    Here is a look at some of the sheets:

    The Dashboard provides a high-level overview of profit and loss, cash flow and liquidity. On this sheet, view the use of inline SVG bar charts and lollipop charts.

    The P&L sheet provides a more detailed look at profit and loss.

    The Cost Center sheet uses the pivot table to show sales costs.

    Upcoming deprecation of Qlik Analytics charts in May 2027

    Qlik 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.

    Qlik 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.

    We've made an update to Qlik Answers that delivers faster responses to your questions. See What's New in Qlik Cloud for the announcement.

     

    What changed

    The Data Analyst Agent in Qlik Answers now handles semantic search, expression building, and chart generation within a single, unified flow. When you ask a question, the Answers Agent and the Data Analyst Agent work together to deliver your response, and you'll see both reflected in the interface as Qlik Answers responds.

    The practical effect: Qlik Answers can take your question, figure out what to search for, build the right expression, and generate the right visualization in a single connected process rather than as separate steps. Complex questions, the kind that involve comparisons across dimensions, multiple measures, or specific time periods, benefit the most because the agent can hold the full shape of your question in mind while deciding how to answer it.

     

    See it in action

    Here's an example of how the same question flows through Qlik Answers. Previously, the response involved several specialized agents handing work back and forth. With the updated architecture, the question is resolved through a more direct flow, and you'll see the response come back faster.

     

    before and after.png

    Try it yourself! Ask any question you often repeat, especially one with comparisons or multiple parts. You'll notice Qlik Answers gets to the response faster.

     

    What this means for you

    You will see the difference the next time you open Qlik Answers, but everything else you rely on in Qlik Answers (your data, your spaces, your permissions, or the way you ask questions) will continue to work exactly as it did before the update went live.

     

    What's next

    We'll continue to evolve how the agents work as we add new capabilities, and we'll keep sharing what's changing along the way.

    We'd love to hear how the updated experience feels in your day-to-day use. Reach out to your Qlik contact or share your thoughts in the community.

    Qlik Cloud Monitoring Apps - App Analyzer Update - Session Level Data

    In august 2020 we introduced the App Analyzer for Qlik Cloud tenants, a powerful monitoring tool which tracks metrics such as an app’s memory usage, ensuring you stay within your quotas. It also aids in app optimization by revealing field and table sizes, and highlighting potential data modeling issues like synthetic keys and data islands.

    The write table was introduced to Qlik Cloud Analytics last month so in this blog post, I will review how it works and how it can be added to an app. The write table looks like the straight table but editable columns can be added to it to update or add data. The updated/added data is visible by other users of the app provided they have the correct permissions. Read more on write table permissions here. Something else to note, if using a touch screen device, is you will have to disable touch screen mode for the write table to work. Looking at the write table for the first time, I found it intuitive and easy to use. Let’s create a write table with some editable columns to see how easy it is.

    The write table object can be added to a sheet like any other visualization. Once it is added, columns can be added the same way dimensions and measures are added to a straight table. Below is a small write table with course information including the course ID, course name, instructor and location.

    write table.png

    To add an editable column from the properties panel, click on the plus sign (+) and select Editable column.

    editable.png

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    The new editable column will be added. In the properties for the column, the title for the column can be modified and from the show content drop down, manual user input or single selection can be selected. Manual user input will create a free form column that the user can type into. The single selection option will allow me to create a drop-down list of options that the user can choose from.

    single selection.png

    I will change the title to Course Level and for show content I will select single selection and add three list items by typing the list item and then clicking on the plus sign to add it to the list. The list items will be displayed in the drop-down in the order they are added but can be rearranged by hovering over the list-item and dragging it to the desired position. List-items can also be deleted by hovering over it and clicking the delete icon that appears to the left.

    list items.png

    When you come out of edit mode, the message below will appear for the editable column prompting you to define a set of primary keys.

    define.png

    Once you click Define, you will see the pop-up below where you can select the column(s) that will be used for the unique primary key. This is necessary to save and map the data entered in the editable column to the data model. I will select the CourseID column as the primary key.

    message.png

     Once this is done, I will see the Course Level column with the drop-down of list-items I added.

    dropdown.png

    Let’s add one more editable column that takes manual user unput and name it Notes.

    notes.png

    As I add data or update the editable columns, the cells will be flagged orange to indicate that my edits have not been saved. Once I save the table, they will be flagged green and any new values entered are visible to other users. A cell will be blue if another user is currently making changes to the row, thus locking it. Changes are saved for 90 days in a change store (temporary storage location) provided by Qlik. After 90 days, the data will be deleted. It is also important to note that if an editable column is deleted, the data will be lost. This is also the case if the primary key used for the editable column is removed.

    save.png

    It is possible to retrieve the changes from a change store via the change-stores API or an automation. Using the REST connection and the change-store API, the changes made in a write table can be retrieved and stored in a QVD (if needed for more than 90 days) or added to the data model for use in other analytics. Qlik Automate can also be used to retrieve data from the change-store using the List Current Changes From Change Store block or the List Change Store History block. From there the data can be stored permanently in an external system for later use or used in the automation for another process. Qlik Help offers steps for retrieving data from a change-store.

    The write table can make it easy for users to add updates, feedback and important information that may not be available in the data model. Not only can this be done quickly, but it can be immediately visible to other colleagues. Learn more about the write table in the Product Innovation blog along with links to videos and write table FAQs.
