Regulatory compliance depends on more than accurate data - it depends on bringing shared business context that aligns everyone. With Business Glossary for Data Products, governed business definitions travel with the data itself, helping organizations align compliance, governance, and reporting. From hierarchical glossary structures to steward-driven term verification workflows, teams can ensure the context behind regulatory data and context remains visible and trusted.

Read this post by Don Pinto & Chris Ortega on how connecting business glossaries directly to data products helps close the gap between compliance intent and operational data.

Higher Education's 2026 Tech Trends Are Here. Is Your Campus Ready?

Technology has moved from the edge of education to its core.

Technology has moved from the edge of education to its core. As Nilesh Patel, Global Solution Head for Education at TCS, argues in Higher education in 2026: Emerging tech trends, the real shift isn't just adopting new tools, it's building digital architecture that learns and scales with learners. The article also points to a wider signal: a TCS study found that 61% of universities lag in digital maturity, putting higher education at a digital crossroads.

The piece highlights four trends shaping higher education in 2026:

Lifelong learning and employability. Learners now see education as a career-long continuum, focused on outcomes and employability. AI-powered adaptive systems support this by adjusting course difficulty, content, and feedback to each learner's path.
Stackable microcredentials and flexible pathways. Education is shifting toward skill-oriented credentials that reflect what learners can do, letting them customize pace and focus while aligning with industry needs.
Collaboration between universities, EdTech, and industry. Skill gaps and fast-moving technology make partnerships essential, institutions provide academic rigor, EdTech offers scale, and industry ensures relevance.
Experience and engagement. AI and GenAI, immersive XR, learning analytics, and stronger cybersecurity and data governance are redefining how students learn and how institutions protect trust.

Across all four, one theme repeats: the future of higher education depends on blending technology with trust,responsible AI adoption, ethical oversight, and transparency.

This is exactly where the Qlik Academic Program supports academic communities. The program offers Qlik solutions end to end, from data integration and Qlik Cloud Analytics to Qlik Answers and agents alongside certifications, qualifications, and courses. By putting data literacy at the center of learning, students develop the ability to read, question, and explain data while working hands-on with the full analytics stack: integrating data, building insights, and understanding how AI-driven decisions are made.

Professors are supported with training and teaching resources that make it easier to embed analytics and modern data topics across disciplines, helping institutions move from static curricula toward the responsive, data-driven ecosystems the TCS article describes.

As Patel puts it, the future belongs to those who build with foresight, stay transparent, and treat technology as a partner in progress, not a replacement for purpose. Preparing students to work confidently with data, alongside AI, is central to that.

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 trends shaping 2026 and prepares learners for the jobs of tomorrow.

The 2026 World Cup kicks off today!

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!!

Update March 4th, 2026: added link to How to get Talend Management Console task schedules and pause and resume during a maintenance window using the API article
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 minutes

Talend 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:
1. Upgrade your Remote Engine Gen2 to the latest 2026-04 release: Updating the Remote Engine Gen2 when installed using the execution script)
2. 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:
1. Upgrade your Remote Engine Gen2 to the latest 2026-04 release: Updating the Remote Engine Gen2 when installed using the execution script)
2. 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.

Most governance conversations start with the wrong question. "Which catalog should we use?" treats the problem as an inventory challenge, but governance isn't just about knowing what data you have. It's about making that data trustworthy when it moves.

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.

Edited 2nd of June, 2026: Updated Qlik Cloud date from August 18th.
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?

Qlik Cloud will see the changes on or after August 18th, 2026, while Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows will be aligned in the November 2026 release.

While we do not expect your themes to be affected, we recommend testing them at the earliest. See the How can I verify if my themes are affected? section.
