    Hello Qlik Users!

    • Qlik Support Portal 
    • Qlik Community 
    • ON24

    This is a phased rollout. Expect more Qlik sites to be updated soon.

    Why the change?

    We want to streamline your experience. You’ll only require one set of credentials with the new update. More importantly, your security is important to Qlik! You will now be able to enable 2-factor authentication.

    How does this impact me?

    You will need to use the email address provided when signing up for QlikID. The login page will no longer support usernames.

    If you do not remember the email address you signed up with, click the I forgot my email address link. You will be able to retrieve your email address by entering in your username.

    Your password will remain the same.

    Here is a helpful video and message from our Community Manager, @Melissa_Potvin!

    The transcript is available here

    What do you think about the new login page? Let us know in the comments below.

    Stay tuned for more updates on this phased rollout! Make sure to subscribe to the Qlik Support Updates Blog to be notified.

    We are happy to announce the release of QlikView May 2021, which continues to support your analytics modernization journey. With this release, we’ve introduced more capabilities that extend your ability to work with QlikView documents on the cloud through the Qlik Sense hub.

    The QlikView May 2021 release includes:

    • QVF file format support between QlikView and the Qlik Sense hub on the cloud
    • Section access synchronization across QlikView Client-Managed and Qlik Sense Enterprise SaaS
    • Proxy support to simplify cloud deployment
    • Large QlikView document uploads to the Qlik Sense hub

     

    More information on the QlikView May 2021 release can be found on Qlik Help.

    These improvements extend capabilities established in prior releases and support use of QlikView on the cloud via Qlik Sense Enterprise SaaS, facilitating progressive analytics modernization and reducing total cost of ownership. These prior QlikView releases include:

    • Automate QlikView document uploads to Qlik Sense hub and use both products side-by-side
    • QlikView IE plugin support for QlikView documents on Qlik Cloud Services
    • Share private bookmarks with other QlikView users on Qlik Cloud Services  
    • "Mail bookmark as link" is supported when using QlikView documents via Qlik Sense hub

     

    While QlikView remains critical to your analytics operations, our next-generation analytics technology in Qlik Sense Enterprise SaaS provides a more scalable and automated methodology that can dramatically lower total cost of ownership for analytics. To help accelerate your modernization efforts, the Analytics Modernization Program adds Qlik Sense for your current QlikView users for a modest uplift on your annual QlikView maintenance rate.  You can fully modernize to a SaaS subscription to minimize your TCO and keep using QlikView. The Analytics Modernization Program has now been updated to include getting-started services to help you get up-to-speed on Qlik Sense more quickly.

    The Analytics Modernization Program allows you to expand analytics capabilities, adding a governed self-service data analytics platform, including augmented analytics with our cognitive engine and conversational analytics, the new Qlik Sense mobile app, and more. Progressively modernize with Qlik Sense for new applications and use cases at your own pace without disrupting QlikView. And, lower total cost of ownership for analytics by automating entitlement management and governance, plus run on Qlik infrastructure with SaaS, furthering cost reduction.

    Through our Active Intelligence vision, you can close the gaps between data and action. Modernization via Qlik Sense is your first step and will help ensure your organization meets evolving analytics requirements and remains competitive. Visit the Analytics Modernization Program web page for more information. You can also reach out to our Program team by e-mailing: ampquestions@qlik.com.

    Hello Qlik Users,

    Today we have seven Qlik Sense patches and one for Qlik Connector for use with SAP NetWeaver:

    • February 2021 Patch 5
    • November 2020 Patch 10
    • September 2020 Patch 12
    • June 2020 Patch 16
    • April 2020 Patch 16
    • February 2020 Patch 12
    • November 2019 Patch 17
    • SAP NetWeaver 7.0.7

     

    These patches include a fix for the security vulnerability, details of which can be found in the Security Bulletin SB: Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Qlik Sense Enterprise.

    The downloads for the patches can all be found on the Qlik Download site. The release notes for SAP NetWeaver can also be found on the Qlik Download site.

    Release Notes for the Qlik Sense patches can be found in the Qlik Community, on the new Release Notes page.

    Please follow best practices when upgrading Qlik Sense.

    The information in this post and Security Bulletin are disclosed in accordance with our published Security and Vulnerability Policy.

    Kind regards,

    Qlik Global Support

    5/25/2021 - Update to clarify a couple of questions:

    • The versions listed in the Security Bulletin are the fixed versions. Versions prior to those listed are the affected versions.

    • If you do not use the SAP connector, you still need to apply the patch for Qlik Sense.

    • There is a new release that includes the security fix as well so you will most likely want to apply that patch (both do not need to be applied in that case).

    In the this video edition of the Qlik Design Blog, I show you how I use the Web File connector to combine retro-video game pricing data (Sega Master System) with my own local video game collection. The Web File connector is available in all Qlik Sense products, including the free version of Qlik Sense Cloud (Basic). It is commonly known that the Web File connector is fairly simple to use, however I wanted to demonstrate its use in a fun and meaningful way as well as provide additional information that will help you understand how and when it can be used and what to look out for. Enjoy!

    Sega Master System Value Analysis - Mike's Collection - Qlik Sense App

    The video is 16 minutes long. I first show you how to simply use the Web File connector with a internet based source via HTTP:// (Current Master System Video Game Prices - GameValueNow.com) and then build a few Qlik Sense KPIs. Then I expand on possible issues you COULD run into with Web File, as well as an example using FTP://, then I conclude with a simple demonstration analyzing some of my video game value data. Analysis result: Purchasing a number of the cartridge titles separately from the cases and manuals and the combining to re-sell may prove profitable. Enjoy!

    In this digital world of data, the Internet of Things, and more, there is one term which seems to come up everywhere: Data Science.


    Data Science has taken on a life of its own, bringing immense value to organizations when utilized correctly - but what does it mean? And how should organizations embrace it? I recently asked an industry thought leader and expert on this topic, Marie Clark of Ambient Intelligence, to help define and shed light on this curious world.

    Each Qlik Sense patch has a few fixes, so please follow best practices:

    • Read the release notes
    • Back up your Qlik Sense environment
    • Test the patch in a QA environment

    On Tuesday, we announced security patches for Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows. The security fix is included in these patches. No need to apply both patches - I would recommend applying the appropriate patch from this release, if possible.

    For more guidance on upgrades, see the Qlik Sense Upgrade guide. This guide was curated by the Qlik Digital Support team and offers step-by-step instructions, pictures and troubleshooting tips.

    Vietnam is a diverse country with a rich cultural heritage. It’s a country of more than 96 million people and is a prominent country in the South East Asian region.

    The education landscape of Vietnam is quite large and consists of more than 400 Universities and colleges with more than 2 million students pursuing university studies. Universities are either specialized or multidisciplinary and offer bachelor, professional, master, and doctoral degrees.

    Qlik Partner Aufinia has been supporting the growth of the academic program in Vietnam. With its growing list of clients, they require interns to work on client projects and since the academic program offers a complete suite of resources for students to get trained and qualified on Qlik Sense, this takes their effort on having to search for the right students, train and on  board them for their projects.

    So far, students and Professors from the University of Technology (UIT), Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology University ( RMIT) have registered for the Qlik Academic Program. In due course, the British University students would also be registering into the program.

    This symbiotic relationship is helping students get trained on world class analytics resource of Qlik and an opportunity to work on real life projects. This  is also an example of how the internal Qlik ecosystem can work together to expand the larger mission of Qlik of data literacy.

    While this is only the beginning of the academic program in Vietnam, it promises to grow further.
