    Experience the convenience of a smarter, more efficient file management system today!

    We have introduced our new Enhanced File Management feature in Qlik Cloud—making organization effortless. Now you can seamlessly structure your uploaded and cloud-generated files into directories and subdirectories, giving you full control over your data.

    With batch actions like move, copy, cut, and paste, managing multiple files has never been easier or faster. Streamline your workflow, reduce clutter, and stay organized with just a few clicks.

    Data Structure.png

    This feature has been rolled out in the following regions as per:

    • Oct 7th (Mon): SE+JP+UK - 14:00 CET/08:00 ET
    • Oct 9th (Wed): DE+SG+AP - 14:00 CET/08:00 ET
    • Oct 14th (Mon): US - 15:00 CET/09:00 ET
    • Oct 16th (Wed): EU 14:00 CET/08:00 ET 

     

    In this blog post we will cover:

     

    Where to access the folder structure

    The new features are accessible in your Data files menu for each space. 

    1. First, navigate to your Space and click Space Details
    2. Choose Data files

      space details and data files.png

    3. You'll now have access to additional options, such as creating, copying, or deleting folders

      create a new folder.png

    Create folder hierarchies and organize files into them

    Each space (Personal, Shared, Managed, and Data) in Qlik Cloud Analytics contains its own structure of folders organized in a hierarchical fashion. Data files can be organized in nested folder structures. For example, within your personal space, you might want to have separate folders for Order Data and Budget Data

    The location of a file or folder within a space is shown in its path. The path uses / symbols to represent when a folder is nested within other folders. 

    For example, suppose within your personal space, you have separate folders for Order Data and Budget Data. If you have a data file named Orders_2024_December.QVD in your Order Data folder, this file would be located in the following folder path within your personal space: 

    Personal/Order Data 

     

    Perform bulk operations on files and folders

    Files and folders can be moved to different spaces or locations within the same space. You can also move multiple items at a time using the Cut and Paste actions, either from the menu or through keyboard shortcuts (CTRL-C, CTRL-V, CTRL-X).

     

    Reference space folder structure in Sense app and script development 

    LOAD statements in the load script

    When you use files in spaces to add data to apps and scripts, the folder location in the space is referenced and required.

    Examples: Reference to file at the top-level path of a space

    This example loads the file orders.csv from a personal space. The file is not located within any specific folder but sits at the top-level path in the space.

    LOAD * FROM [lib://DataFiles/orders.csv]; 

    This example loads the file orders.csv from a shared, managed, or data space. The name of the space is TeamSharedSpace. The file is not located within any specific folder but sits at the top-level path in the space.

    LOAD * FROM [lib://TeamSharedSpace:DataFiles/orders.csv]; 

    Examples: References to specific folder path within a space

    This example loads the file orders_Europe.csv from the folder Orders By Region within a personal space.

    LOAD * FROM [lib://DataFiles/Orders By Region/orders_Europe.csv];

    This example loads the file orders_Europe.csv from the folder Orders By Region within a shared, managed, or data space. The name of the space is SalesSpace.

    LOAD * FROM [lib://SalesSpace:DataFiles/Orders By Region/orders_Europe.csv];

    Store statements

    When you add a Store statement to store data from a load script into Qlik Cloud Analytics, the folder location in the space is referenced and required.

    Example: Storing file at the top-level path of a space

    In this example, the entire table mytable is exported into Qlik Cloud Analytics as a file named myfile.qvd. The file is added to the shared space TeamSharedSpace. The file is not located within any specific folder but sits at the top-level path in the space.

    Store * from mytable into [lib://TeamSharedSpace:DataFiles/myfile.qvd];

    Example: Storing file to a specific folder path within a space

    In this example, the entire table mytable is exported into Qlik Cloud Analytics as a file named myfile.qvd. The file is added to the folder SalesData within the space TeamSharedSpace.

    Store * from mytable into [lib://TeamSharedSpace:DataFiles/SalesData/myfile.qvd];

    Inserting QVS code

    When inserting QVS code into a load script, the folder location in the space is referenced and required.

    Example: Referencing QVS file at the top-level path of a space

    In this example, the file test.qvs is referenced in the load script. The file is located in the space TeamSharedSpace. The file is not located within any specific folder but sits at the top-level path in the space.

    $(Must_Include=lib://TeamSharedSpace:DataFiles/test.qvs)

    Example: Referencing QVS file in a specific folder path within a space

    In this example, the file test.qvs is referenced in the load script. The file is located in the folder SalesData within the space TeamSharedSpace.

    $(Must_Include=lib://TeamSharedSpace:DataFiles/SalesData/test.qvs)

    The Qlik Cloud Documentation has been updated with comprehensive information about the new feature.

    Talend 7.3.1 Reaches End of Support  

    Talend version 7.3.1, released in February 2020, will reach the end of support on November 30, 2024, as detailed in the Talend Product Documentation. After this date, Talend version 8 will be the only regularly supported version of the Talend Platform. 

    What are the options for Talend 7.3.1 customers? 

    If you are currently using Talend version 7.3.1 in a mission-critical production environment, we encourage you to consider one of the following options:  

    • Transition to fully supported Talend 8 and purchase Talend 7.3.1 Limited Extended Support. We realize that you might need more time to migrate to Talend 8, so this option includes a limited Talend 7.3.1 support offering, covering one additional 13-month period ending December 31, 2025.  
    • Transition to fully supported Talend 8 only. Talend 8 includes many features and improvements that enhance your productivity and efficiency, not to mention that upgrading to a supported version helps ensure that your software stays relevant, secure, and usable for years to come. You can continue operating Talend 7.3.1, but it will not be supported by Qlik. 

     

    Note: Every active Talend subscription is entitled to a current Talend version 8 license. If you do not already have a Talend 8 license, please contact Qlik Customer Support via the customer portal to request one. Active subscriptions with renewal dates before December 30, 2025, can also buy the Talend 7.3.1 Limited Extended Support offer if needed. 

    Frequently Asked Questions 

    This knowledge article provides answers to the frequently asked questions that customers have posed about the End-of-Support for Talend 7.3.1.

    Next Steps 

    For renewal and purchase information, contact the following:

    • If you purchased Talend 7.3.1 from a Talend or Qlik Partner, please contact that Partner to discuss pricing and options.
    • If you purchased Talend 7.3.1 directly from Talend or Qlik, please contact your Qlik Talend representative directly or via email at sales@qlik.com.

     

    Finally, for all other upgrade and troubleshooting information, contact Qlik Customer support at https://customerportal.qlik.com/.

    ​Imagine making Qlik content available to the public without requiring users to log in.

    And now imagine no more and get started with Qlik Anonymous Access, a feature we hope you are as excited about as we are. Qlik Anonymous Access will strengthen your community, drive engagement, and help you unlock the full potential of your public data.

    See our full Innovation blog here.

     

    The Highlights

    Making data available to the public is one thing—making it easy to access and consume is another. This is where Qlik’s Anonymous Access shines. By allowing users to interact with dashboards without a login, Qlik simplifies data access for a broad audience, allowing:

    • No Barriers to Entry: Any website visitor can navigate and explore interactive dashboards and reports without login

    • Inclusive Data Access: This simplifies access, ensuring that a broader audience, from policymakers to concerned citizens, can engage with the data.

    • Seamless Embedding: Qlik’s dashboards, apps, and sheets can be embedded into web portals, transforming static reports into interactive, easily navigable experiences.

    • Continuously up to date: Qlik Anonymous Access provides automatic refresh, keeping the information current.

    • Interactive Engagement: Dashboards allow users to filter, explore, and interact with data, fostering deeper understanding and insights.

    • Empowering Conversations: Encourages meaningful discussions by directly providing real-time, actionable insights through intuitive, dynamic tools.

    • Centralized Knowledge Hub: Embedding Qlik dashboards into internal and public portals creates a unified space for information and decision-making.

    • Security: The security feature, defaulted to "not allowed," prevents unauthorized public data sharing, enhancing security when sharing with anonymous users. To enable it, you must create a custom role, set the scope to "allowed," and assign it to authorized users or groups.

    • Enhanced Accessibility: The cloud allows users to access public data from anywhere, making it easier for communities and organizations to engage with the information.

     

    How to get started

    Anonymous Access is controlled at the app level. Users with the correct permissions can turn anonymous access on and off as needed. These users can also configure access code settings, as well as view and copy links and codes that provide anonymous access.

     

    Subscriptions and Offerings

    With a Qlik Anonymous Access subscription, you create an anonymous access tenant in Qlik Cloud. The cloud infrastructure is hosted and managed by Qlik. In an anonymous access tenant, the user experience is very similar to other Qlik Cloud subscriptions. The main differences are assignment of user entitlement by administrators, limitations on using certain add-on capabilities, and capacities for data loading and app development.

    See Qlik Anonymous Access subscriptions for details.

    What does the TOTAL qualifier do?

    @What does the TOTAL qualifier do when used in a chart expression?  I have used TOTAL in an expression when I want to perform an aggregation across all dimensions.  For instance, if I need to show the percentage of employees in a specific office in a KPI object, I would use the TOTAL qualifier in an expression like this:

    expression1.png

    Paris.png

    I would sum the number of employees in the Paris office and divide that by the total number of employees across all offices.  In this expression, TOTAL disregards the dimension value (which is City in this case) and adds all employees.  Now if I make a selection in my app and select Paris, then my KPI would change to 100% because the total is based on the possible field values.  To get around this, I can add set analysis to the expression to look at the data before any selections were made.  The expression would look like the expression below and would remain 39% even if city selections are made.

    expression2.png

    I often use the TOTAL qualifier in KPI objects when I need to highlight a value but it can be used in any chart expression.  In the pivot table below, you can see how an expression value can differ with the use of TOTAL.

    pivot.png

    The TOTAL qualifier is useful when you want to see the shares of something similar to when you use a pie chart to see the percentage of parts that make up the whole.  In my case, it is helpful when I want to see the shares without making a selection first.  Henric Cronstrom wrote a great blog on The Aggregation Scope which talks about this topic is more detail.
