Qlik-cli is a PowerShell module that allows the Qlik Sense environment to be managed through command line. Clever shared an example of using the command line to evaluate a KPI so you can take immediate action.

Hey Guys - with all the excitement around our new Qlik Sense Enterprise deployment options:
...I wanted to share a brief video to show you how easy it is to setup a tenant along with an integrated identity provider (IdP) to provide authentication, using Qlik Sense Enterprise on Qlik Cloud Services. (Please note in this video I use OKTA as my integrated IdP but Auth0 is also supported. This video does not go into setting up the actual IdP subscripition so please have that available prior. ) In order to get access to Qlik Sense Enterprise on Qlik Cloud Services please contact your Qlik representative. If you are want to experience Qlik Sense right away you can always sign up for a 30 Day Trial of Qlik Sense Business. To learn more about Qlik Sense Business check out this blog.
First just to recap – Qlik Sense Enterprise on Qlik Cloud Services is a deployment option on Qlik’s multi-tenanted SaaS-based analytics platform. Offering all the great features of Qlik Sense Enterprise on a secure scalable SaaS environment managed by Qlik.
When setting up your tenant and IdP there are few things you should know.
#1 – Once your information has been entered into the Qlik customer system, you should receive an invitation via email to register your Qlik Sense Enterprise tenant. You will login using the email used when registering for a Qlik Account on our web site. The tenant registration process will guide you to select a region for the tenant to operate in as well as create a tenant name for the URL structure that is to be used to access your Qlik Sense tenant.
#2 – you need to have an identity provider (IDP) setup to provide authentication to your Qlik Sense tenant. This can be done currently using Okta and Auth0. This video will focus on Okta, but the steps outlined will be similar. Setting up an IdP is beyond the scope of this video and it is assumed you have the appropriate access and rights to manage it as we will need some information from the IDP environment to setup the tenant.
3# - you will configure your Qlik Sense Enterprise tenant to use the identity provider and will need your IdP client key, client secret from the IDP system. You will also need the OpenID Connect metadata URI from your Qlik Sense tenant used within your IDP configuration as well as a callback URL to be added to your OKTA configuration.
Let's get started.
Please post your questions here and we will address appropriately.
Regards,
Mike Tarallo

We will be sharing the webinar schedule for this month in the next coming days. There are a couple sessions this month about Qlik Connectors so I thought I would share this Qlik Fix video:
Qlik Fix: How to Find Qlik Connector Logs
This video will walk you through where to find the logs for Qlik Connectors as well as enabling the driver logs within the registry editor. Enabling the driver logs can be helpful when troubleshooting issues but please keep in mind they are rather large and should be disabled when troubleshooting is complete.
What kind of questions do you have about Qlik Connectors? Please let us know in the comments below so we can address your question in one of the upcoming sessions.

Hello Qlik Users!
The release notes for the November 2020 releases (7.0) of Qlik Compose for Data Warehouses were a bit confusing. The release notes for the November 2020 Initial Release used the new versioning (Month Year) while the release notes for the November 2020 Service Releases continued to use the build number (7.0.xxx).
A cheat sheet was created to help ease some of the confusion. You can find the cheat sheet here:

Hello Qlik Users!
Meet Wladimir!
About Wladimir:
My name is Wladimir I work in our Raleigh office. I am leader of our Digital Support team. I love playing soccer and play with my kids. My dog is a Pomeranian full of energy that loves to bark for everything and everyone.
Wladimir’s tip:
When you are updating a dashboard with the same table containing new data. Make sure you have the file with updated data with the same name as the previous file, so it can override the existent one, otherwise it will concatenate both files and your date will be duplicated. It is a common problem since files usually have the same name but use a timestamp, which would be considered a different file.
Do this:
Not this:

We are witnessing a rapid shift towards multi-disciplinary learning which includes a diverse range of subjects which were probably not included earlier. Although not an entirely new step, the need to include multi-disciplinary topics in formal curriculum is more prominent now than ever before. This breadth in interest often supports the theory that breakthrough ideas cannot be attributed to domain- specific expertise alone. Claude Shannon, the person behind the Information Age, studied philosophy during his learning at the University of Michigan. The basis behind inter-disciplinary education is the fact that to develop all round capabilities of a human being, his intellectual, physical, emotional, aesthetic, and moral senses must be shaped well. Ancient Indian education focused on learning, spiritual and physical development, thus being holistic in nature.
Students pursing engineering and design and environment at the National University of Singapore (NUS) from this year will take a new set of seven interdisciplinary modules from this year. The University feels that these modules would converge skills and knowledge required for work. Earlier NUS college of Humanities and Sciences included interdisciplinary modules in areas such as design thinking and scientific inquiry. The aim of the University is to expose students to knowledge and skills outside their specializations and prepare them for work and society. Among the six “pillars” that have been identified, data literacy is among these. Clearly, data literacy is gaining increasing prominence since the ability to read, work with, analyze and communicate with data is an important skill to possess. To read more about this article, visit: https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/parenting-education/nus-introduces-common-curriculum-for-incoming-design-and-environment

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!
Qlik Fix released their first video in 2021 so I wanted to share. The video walks you through resolving the error “No Such Page” when creating a new sheet in a QlikView document. This issue can affect those using QlikView April 2020 IR, SR1, SR2 or SR3, IIS as the web server and the AJAX client.

How do you edit a public sheet in a shared app? In the Qlik Sense cloud hub, users can use a shared space to develop apps collaboratively. Depending on your license and space permission, users in a shared space can create and edit content in an app. According to Qlik Help, there are 4 permissions in a share space.
In this blog, I will share some ways to edit the public sheets in an app. I assume the app is in a shared space and you have create/edit permissions.
An app in a shared space can have sheets that are private or public. Private sheets are sheets in the My sheets section of the App overview and are visible only to you as the owner. Public sheets are in the Public sheets area and are visible to everyone who has permissions to the shared space. See the highlighted areas in the image below.
Sometimes, there may be the need to edit or delete a sheet that is already public or add a new sheet. Let’s cover how to do this.
The main difference between these two options is that in the first option, the sheet that is being edited is still visible to users while the edits are being done in a private copy of the sheet. Whereas in the second option, the sheet being edited is not visible to users until it is made public again.
Hopefully, you now know how you can update a public sheet in a shared space. It is easy and the key thing to remember is to make the sheet public once you are ready to share the sheet with others who have access to the shared space. 🙂
Thanks,
Jennell

There is a Google Chrome add on that if you enable it, you can see some useful info about any objects on the sheet, like object ID, sheet ID for example (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/add-sense/bbiljflfafkaejgdebbnmcohpidgkejj) :
This could be good for:
