Conditional Background Images
In this blog post, I will illustrate two ways that an image in an analytics app can be changed dynamically based on selections. In one example, a layout container and the show condition is used to control which image is visible. In a second example, an IF statement is used to determine which image URL to use.

Show MoreIn this blog post, I will illustrate two ways that an image in an analytics app can be changed dynamically based on selections. In one example, a layout container and the show condition is used to control which image is visible. In a second example, an IF statement is used to determine which image URL to use. In the second example, I will also review how to obtain the URL for an image in the media library of an analytics app.
Let’s begin by looking at the first example. In this example, we have an app on automobiles. When the user selects one of the automobile names, a picture of the car will be visible. If no cars are selected, then an image of all 4 automobiles should be displayed. Below is the image with no selections and all 4 cars visible.
When the Nebula model is selected, the sheet updates and only the Nebula model is visible.
In this example, a layout container has 5 Text & image objects – one image for each automobile model and one image for all cars.
A show condition like this is used to determine if the Text & image object should be visible. Only one image will be visible at any given time.
Now, let’s look at another example of how the background image can be dynamically displayed using an URL. In this example, one Text & image object is needed. In the properties of the object, under Presentation > Styling, a background image can be set. When URL is selected from the drop-down list, the option to enter an expression is available. Note that you want to edit the Background image setting that is in Presentation > Styling, not the Background image section in the properties panel.
The IF statement below checks to see which automobile model is selected to determine which image to show. If there is not a selection on the model, then the image of all the automobiles is displayed. In this example, the URLs for the media library images were used, but you could also link to images in an external source like an Amazon s3 bucket.To find the URL for images in the media library, you can open the media library or use a sheet in the app that has the image on it. In my Chrome browser, I opened the Developer tools to inspect the image. In Chrome, the Developer tools can be opened by using Ctrl-Shift-I or from the three-dots icon in the upper right corner of the browser window and selecting More tools > Developer tools. Once the Developer tools window is open you can inspect an element by clicking on the Elements tab and then selecting the image in the highlighted box below. This will allow you to select elements on the page.
In the analytics app, click on the image in the library so that it appears in the preview window. When you click on the image in the preview window, you will see that a line in the html is highlighted. If necessary, expand the code to find the URL for the image.
Copy the URL that is listed in the src attribute for the img tag (see below). In the expression, you can use the full URL that includes https:// and the tenant name or just what is displayed in the src tag. Repeat these steps for each image.
I found this insight useful, and I hope you do, too. I would like to thank my colleagues @Charles_Bannon for the blog idea and use of his app to provide examples and @Ouadie for the tip on how to capture the media library URL.
Thanks,
Jennell

Hello Qlik Alerting Admins,
With the release of Qlik Alerting November 2025, the capability to Force HTTP only will be fully removed.
Why is Force HTTP being removed?
The change is motivated by two key reasons:
- It aligns Qlik Alerting with modern web security practices
- The configuration, while previously documented, was not functional for some time due to the upgrade-insecure-requests Content Security Policy
What action do I need to take?
With the deprecation of HTTP config, administrators need to take additional action upon installing the new release. See Qlik Alerting - Qlik Sense extension | help.qlik.com for details, specifically step 5:
-
For Session cookie isolation, select Cookie sharing. This setting allows cookie sharing with Qlik Alerting, which is required for user validation.

Show MoreArtificial intelligence is changing our world at lightning speed. Everywhere we look, new tools and technologies are being built to make things smarter and faster.
A recent New York Times article, What Wall Street Sees in the Data Center Boom, shows just how massive this transformation is. Trillions of dollars are being invested in data centers, the “brains” that power AI. But the article also reminds us that all this progress comes with a cost: higher energy and water use, pressure on local communities, and even the risk of a financial bubble if this growth is not sustainable.
Reading it made me stop and think: Are we investing as much in understanding data as we are in building it?
Here at Qlik, we believe technology alone doesn’t make the world better, people do. And people can only make good decisions with data if they know how to read it, question it, and use it responsibly.
That’s what the Qlik Academic Program is all about. We want every student and educator, no matter where they are or what they teach, to have the chance to learn how to use data to solve real problems.
Imagine if every student learning about AI today also asked:
-
How can we make technology that helps the planet, not harms it?
-
Are we designing systems that serve everyone or just a few?
-
What does it mean to use data responsibly in a world driven by algorithms?
Those questions are where true innovation begins.
As the article points out, many companies are now rethinking how technology can drive progress that truly benefits everyone. That’s the same vision behind our Academic Program: to democratize knowledge, bridge the data gap, and empower people everywhere to use analytics for social good.
The AI revolution will be defined not only by algorithms and data centers, but by how wisely we use the data we already have.
Let’s make sure we are building not just the infrastructure for machines, but the understanding for humankind.
The Qlik Academic Program helps make this possible, giving educators, students, researchers, and universities everywhere free access to Qlik Sense, online training, and certifications to use data ethically and effectively.

In mid-July 2025, a vulnerability was disclosed in the NPM library form-data (GitHub Security Advisory). Qlik became aware of this issue through its standard Secure Development Lifecycle (SDL) processes.
Following an internal review, Qlik R&D and Security teams identified that potentially vulnerable versions of the form-data library were included in some installations of Qlik Sense Enterprise for Windows. However, due to the specific way Qlik utilizes this library, the conditions required for exploitation are not met.
Although the vulnerability was determined to be non-exploitable within Qlik Sense, customers who prefer to upgrade to a version that includes the patched form-data library can do so by installing one of the following releases:
- May 2025 Patch 6
- November 2024 Patch 18
- May 2024 Patch 24
Note: An earlier version of this information was mistakenly published indicating that this CVE was directly related to Qlik Sense for Windows.

Show MoreThe straight table, included in the Visualization bundle, has all the table properties that we are used to as well as many new features. These new features make it easier for developers to create a straight table and it gives users the ability to customize straight tables in the apps they view. The straight table is ideal when you want to provide detailed data – the raw data. While you do not want to have too many columns (ten or less columns are ideal for the best performance), a straight table can have many columns (dimensions and measures).
As previously mentioned, the straight table can be added to a sheet from the Qlik Visualization bundle. This means developers will need to open the advanced options to add the straight table to their sheet(s) and make edits. Once the straight table is added to a sheet, developers can add columns – either fields and master items or custom expressions. One of the new features that developers can take advantage of to build tables quickly is the ability to add more than one dimension and/or measure at once. Simply select the dimensions and measures you would like to add to the table and then click the Add button.
Once columns are added to the table, they can be dragged as needed to the desired position/order. Developers also can add alternate columns to the straight table. These columns can be dimensions and/or measures. These alternates columns will be available to users to customize the straight table if chart exploration is enabled. This is a great new feature because the user does not need edit permissions to modify the straight table. Users can add and/or remove columns based on their analysis. Being able to add columns as needed also improves performance since the straight table does not need to display all the columns, all the time. Loading the straight table with the minimum columns needed will decrease the load time.
Chart exploration allows users, who are in analysis mode, to add and remove columns from the straight table they are viewing by checking or unchecking them in the Chart exploration panel (see image below). Any users viewing the sheet can customize the straight table. Users cannot see layout changes made by other users using the app, unless they opt to share the visualization or create a public bookmark with the layout saved.
Another new feature for developers is the ability to set the column width. By default, the column width is set to Auto, but developers can set it to Fix to content, Pixels or Percentage. Pagination is another new feature that can be enabled in a Straight table. With pagination, a specified number of rows are displayed at once and the user can navigate through the pages using arrows or selecting the page.
Many of the properties for the straight table are familiar but the new ones are moving the straight table to a new level. Learn everything you need to know about the straight table in Qlik Help and add one to your next app. Also check out the SaaS in 60 video for a quick video overview:
Thanks,
Jennell
