At the Learning Analytics and Knowledge Conference (LAK ’25), they revealed that looking at just two to five hours of student activity in intelligent tutoring systems or educational games can predict, months in advance, how those students will perform on end-of-year standardized tests. Data from intelligent tutors helps predict K-12 academic outcomes, study finds | Stanford Report
Researchers analyzed only the early interaction logs and used machine learning to spot patterns. The surprise? These short-term models were just as accurate as those built from an entire year of data.
As Professor Emma Brunskill from Stanford explains:
“In education, we often are interested in delayed outcomes like end-of-the-year assessments, but it would be useful if we could predict those outcomes using shorter amounts of data from educational software platforms.”This shows you don’t need massive datasets to uncover valuable insights, you need the skills to interpret them. Early predictions like this allow teachers to act sooner, whether that means offering extra help or providing greater challenges.
That’s where data literacy comes in. When you know how to explore and interpret data, you can spot patterns early, act with precision, and track results over time.
The Qlik Academic Program helps make that possible, offering free access to Qlik Sense analytics software, self-paced training, certifications, and resources to apply insights ethically and effectively.

Qlik Automate: Changes to error handling for Qlik Reporting connector
Hello Qlik Automate administrators and users, Based on feedback, Qlik has changed the way errors are handled in the Qlik Reporting connector for Qlik ... Show MoreHello Qlik Automate administrators and users,
Based on feedback, Qlik has changed the way errors are handled in the Qlik Reporting connector for Qlik Automate. The change was rolled out on August 12th, 2025.
The following blocks will be replaced to facilitate the changes:
- Get Chart Image
- Get Pixel Perfect Report
- Get Tabular Report
The functional change of the new blocks centers on error handling. While the old blocks output a simple failed string in case of an error, we wanted to update this output to include the full error object, including the status code and reason.
Additionally, in certain situations, the old blocks would have a successful run even though the output is an error; we updated this behavior so the new blocks will error out in any situation involving an error.
What does this mean for me?
The old blocks were renamed, flagging them as deprecated. Example: Get Chart Image (deprecated)
The new blocks retain the old names and are referenced in the description of the old blocks.
The action needed by Qlik Automate administrators and users is to switch from the (deprecated) blocks to the new ones.
If you have any questions, we're happy to assist. Reply to this blog post or take similar queries to the Qlik Application Automation forum.

Show MoreI’m thrilled to write this installment of Qlik’s innovation blog because the new Qlik Talend Cloud features I’ve chosen to highlight are two of the capabilities I’ve been testing over the past few weeks. So, without any further ado let's dive into these exciting new capabilities!
Cross Project Pipelines
Since it’s inception, Qlik Talend Cloud pipelines have offered straightforward design metaphor. Often, you’d create a pipeline for a single data source that continually landed, merged and transformed data changes into a single target, such as a cloud data warehouse or lake. As time progressed the ability to add multiple data sources to a pipeline was introduced, and dedicated replication tasks with multiple targets followed a short time later.
Qlik Talend Cloud Data Pipelines
However, many customers gave feedback that they’d like pipelines to be more modular, especially as projects became bigger and more complex. Modularity would not only increase component reusability, but also enable pipelines to be segregated by business domain. In addition, pipeline development would be more flexible while adhering to the best data-design practices.
Well, I’m happy to announce that “Cross Project Pipelines” are now generally available in all tenants. You can split complex pipelines consisting of multiple ingestion and transformation tasks into components that can be reused by other projects providing greater design flexibility and simplified pipeline management. In addition, Cross Project Pipelines can be segregated by data domain to encourage Business Domain Data Product or Data Mesh design principles.
Cross Project Pipeline
AI Processor Snowflake Support
At the end of 2024, we released an AI processor that allowed you call native Databricks AI functions in a Transformation Flow without the need to hand code SQL. Databricks AI functions are a set of built-in SQL functions that allow you to apply AI directly to your data within SQL queries. This means you can use powerful AI models for tasks like sentiment analysis, text generation, and more, all from your Qlik Talend Cloud pipelines. If you can’t remember that far back then checkout this Qlik community blog post “Inject AI into your Databricks Qlik Talend Cloud Pipeline”
While many of our Databricks customers were overjoyed, the Snowflake proponents felt very left out, regularly commenting that Snowflake Cortex offered similar features too. Those comments were frequently followed by the question of “When will Qlik’s AI processor support Snowflake too?” Once again, I’m happy to say we’ve listened, and now the AI processor also supports Snowflake Cortex AI functions as well! The details of how to use Snowflake Cortex go beyond the scope of this blog post but stay tuned because a detailed article and demo of this feature will be published shortly. Until then, look at the screenshot below to see the AI processor in action and follow the link for more information about Snowflake Cortex LLM functions.

Show MoreICT Academy is a non profit institution based in Chennai an initiative of the Government of India in collaboration with the state Governments and Industries. They work on various initiatives with their goal of skilling students and educators on new technologies and making them job ready. Besides their home state of Tamil Nadu, they have a presence in many States in India, including Maharashtra, Telangana, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh etc.
In the last 13 years, ICT Academy has strived on every aspect to provide a holistic service to every stakeholder of the education ecosystem in developing the next generation of talent pool in India to make them industry ready employees, innovators, entrepreneurs and leaders.
Through its various initiatives, ICT Academy has been part of strengthening the India’s four important visions on Skill India, Digital India, Startup India and Make in India. ( reference: https://ictacademy.in/)
With the Qlik Academic Program, the relationship with ICT Academy has been very active during their annual campaign, called Learnathon which opens the doors for students and faculties to get trained on various technologies in a time bound manner. During this campaign, over 1.5 lakh students potentially get trained on new technologies through the learning and academic platforms of vendors like Qlik.
This year too, Learnathon has been planned in August and September and will see many students getting skilled and ready for the job market. We are hoping many students are onboarded with the skills required in data analytics with the Qlik Academic Program's latest offerings. They have an opportunity to get trained on Qlik Sense, one of the in-demand data analytics software and also get qualified and certified on the courses offered under this program. Over 3500 colleges and university students have already benefitted from this program.

Qlik Trust Score for AI: Evolving Data Trust for the Next Era of AI-Ready Data
AI is only as good as the data that fuels it. Yet AI use cases introduce new challenges beyond traditional data quality. It’s no longer enough for dat... Show MoreAI is only as good as the data that fuels it. Yet AI use cases introduce new challenges beyond traditional data quality. It’s no longer enough for data to be complete and documented—it must also be accurate, timely, and diverse enough to drive meaningful, bias-free outcomes. Whether you're training machine learning models or powering real-time decision systems, AI-ready data needs a different lens for trust.
Earlier this year, we introduced Qlik Trust Score in Qlik Talend Cloud — a quality indicator that consolidates critical data quality metrics such as completeness, discoverability, and usage into a single, intuitive score. We also introduced the Six principles of AI-ready data, giving organizations a practical framework & associated services to assess not just the reliability of their data, but its readiness to drive AI-powered outcomes.
Then, in May 2025, at Qlik Connect, we took the next leap forward within the product, introducing Qlik Trust Score for AI as a capability integrated within Qlik Talend Cloud. As organizations double down on AI adoption, the definition of trusted data must expand to meet the specific demands of machine learning and intelligent automation. Qlik Trust Score for AI builds on our original framework by introducing new, purpose-built dimensions — empowering teams to evaluate whether their data is not only trustworthy but truly fit for AI.
Building AI confidence through Diversity, Accuracy, and Timeliness
To help organizations operationalize data for AI, we've introduced three new dimensions into Qlik Trust Score, rooted in our six principles for AI-ready data.
AI-specific dimensions of Qlik Trust Score
Diversity
Evaluates how representative and well-distributed the dataset is relative to expectations. In AI, biased or narrow data leads to skewed outcomes and poor generalization. A high diversity score indicates that the dataset covers a wide range of relevant scenarios, populations, or types, ensuring that AI models are trained on broad, balanced, and inclusive information. It is calculated as a function of content evenness and expected volume—measuring how well values are balanced across the rows and columns, and whether enough data is present.Configuring the diversity dimension of Qlik Trust Score for AI
For example, A customer churn model trained only on data from urban regions may underperform for rural customers. A high diversity score ensures the dataset includes varied geographies, age groups, and customer types, reducing blind spots in prediction.
Accuracy
Measures how well data aligns with known or expected truths using customizable validation rules. Inaccurate inputs can lead to compounding errors in AI systems, where even small mistakes can scale into significant misjudgments. By defining custom data quality rules under the “Accuracy” category, these rules can affect the accuracy dimension, allowing teams to quickly identify and address the most critical issues impacting model performance.Categorizing the quality rule for the Qlik Trust Score
For example, in a predictive maintenance system, incorrect temperature readings from sensors (e.g., due to miscalibration) can cause false alarms or missed failures. Accuracy checks can flag such outliers or mismatches against expected ranges, preventing faulty model behavior.
Timeliness
Ensures that data is timely and reflects the most current state of the business or environment. For AI applications—especially those involving real-time predictions or automation—stale data can mean outdated or irrelevant outputs. This is calculated using an increasing function based on data pipeline updates. Thresholds can be defined to specify how recent data should be —once data falls outside that freshness time window, the score decreases.Configuring the timeliness threshold window
For example, in a fraud detection model, transaction data that is even a few hours old may miss flagging a fraud as it happens. A high timeliness score ensures your model uses the freshest available data to catch data issues in real time.
Trust Over Time: Monitoring Data Quality Trends for AI Confidence
AI doesn’t just require high-quality data on a one-off basis — it demands consistent, high-quality data. That’s why we’ve introduced Trust Score Historization in Qlik Talend Cloud, transforming trust from a one-time evaluation into a continuous practice that can be monitored over time.
With this capability, you can:
- Track trends in data quality across weeks or months to catch emerging issues early
- Correlate performance drops with changes in key quality dimensions like freshness or accuracy
- Audit how changes to configurations or quality rules impact trust over time
Viewing the events and dimension updates to Qlik Trust Score over time
Conclusion
Qlik Trust Score for AI goes beyond a simple quality check — it’s a way to evaluate whether your data is truly fit for AI use-cases. With added AI-specific dimensions like accuracy, diversity, and timeliness, and the ability to monitor trust over time, it helps organizations deliver data that drives reliable, responsible AI outcomes.
Available in Qlik Talend Cloud Enterprise Edition, Qlik Trust Score is also foundational to building trusted data products

Stitch: Google Ads Major Version Release and sunsetting of Google Ads API versio...

Stitch has released a new version of its Google Ads integration. With this release comes an update to Google Ads V2, which utilizes the latest Google Ads API (version 20).
The previously used Google Ads API version 18 will be sunset by Google on August 20th, 2025. Once the API is sunset, integrations that interact with it will stop working.
What do I need to do?
Create a new integration to stay ahead of Google sunsetting version 18. We've put together a general guide to assist you.
Using a new schema name
If you are creating a new integration and don't plan on reusing the previous schema name, you can go ahead and make a new Google Ads integration. Selecting Google Ads from the integration options will default to the latest version, in this case, V2. The new integration will also benefit from the 7-day free historic sync.
Re-using the schema name
If you need to use the same schema name for the new integration, you must do the following:
- Pause the existing integration(s) in your Stitch account.
- Wait for any records that are being prepared to finish loading (such as waiting for Preparing to reflect 0 rows in the integration summary page).
- Take note of the tables and fields tracked for replication, as well as the replication methods defined for these tables.
- Delete the existing integration from your Stitch account.
- Drop or rename the existing schema from your destination data warehouse. We recommend renaming the schema to preserve the data and maintain flexibility to adjust downstream workflows.
- Contact Qlik Support to coordinate a manual row-usage exemption for this integration.
- Configure a new integration with the same name, and Stitch will create this schema in your destination during the loading process.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I copy over my bookmarks to the new integration?
A: Bookmarks cannot be covered over. When you create a new integration, every table will perform a full table replication from the start date set in the settings. Once the historic sync is complete, it will move to the selected replication method. There is no mechanism to manually set bookmarks, and individual integrations have no interaction with each other, even in upgrades.Q: What if I need more than 7 days to complete the historic sync?
A: Reach out to Qlik Support for a manual exemption. Please explain why you need more time, and we will accommodate accordingly.Q: Will the data structure be the same in the new integration?
A: We cannot guarantee the data structure is the same as it is determined by Google Ads API. If you are looking for field or table changes, please reference the Google Ads API comparison guides (Upgrade from v18 to v19 and Upgrade from v19 to v20). If you are missing data, reference Google's documentation to confirm it hasn't moved or been removed. In the event Google says data should exist, but it is not replicated, raise a ticket to Qlik Support to review and investigate.If you have any questions, we're happy to assist.

In an effort to give customers the necessary time to carry out the migration, Qlik has delayed the removal of our legacy S3 connectors. See the updated dates below.
Please proceed with the migration as soon as possible as no further extension will be possible.The following connectors will be removed and are not recommended for further use:
- Amazon S3 Metadata
- Amazon S3: this is a “File location” connector
Instead, use the following connectors:
- Amazon S3 Metadata V2
- Amazon S3 V2: this is a “File location” connector
The connectors labeled with the suffix “V2” were introduced in 2022 and have since then been the recommended connectors for access to Amazon S3 buckets.
The V2 connectors access Amazon S3 buckets based on the AWS SDK for .NET Core, whereas the legacy S3 connectors were based on the REST API.
The plans to remove the legacy S3 connectors are as follows:
- Qlik Sense Cloud: by the end of August 2025
- Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows: release November 2025
- Qlik Web Connector (standalone): release June 2025
The legacy S3 connectors and the S3 connectors “V2” have the exact same capabilities, and a migration will in most cases only require a new connection definition and an update in the connection name within the Qlik Script.
The only exception is with the Amazon S3 Metadata connector when the ListBuckets table is used, which may require additional attention. A field name is changed in this table: CreationDate, removing the underscore (_) previously present in the legacy connector (old: Creation_Date).
For this case, the suggestion is to only change the field reference in the initial select statement, but not the alias, so that further references used in the App will continue to work.
Example:
LIB CONNECT TO 'Amazon_S3_Metadata_V2';
[ListBuckets]:
LOAD CreationDate as [ListBuckets.Creation_Date];
SELECT CreationDate FROM ListBuckets;Additional Reading

Using Layout Containers to Lock a Section of a Sheet

Show MoreOne of the main jobs we do on the Demo Team at Qlik is update the demo apps at explore.qlik.com. When we do this, we want to add some of the new features that Qlik has to offer and show you, the user, how you can use these features to further customize your apps.
The problem
Recently, I have been working on an app called ‘Procurement’. This app illustrates how an organization can analyze their spending and contracts. In doing so, this app shows the intersection of many different fields, such as vendor, country, contract, dates, and many others. One of the sheets we have is titled ‘Vendor Profile’.
In this sheet, a user can select a vendor and be shown various details about this vendor.
Please note that these screenshots were taken after the theme of the app was updated, bringing in new colors and backgrounds.
So, as you can see, we have the Vendor filter pane at the top of the screen. The problem is that for the user to use this sheet properly, one and only one vendor must be selected, if not, the sheet just looks blank. So how do we solve this?
A possible solution
One solution, one that many may be screaming at their screen would be to limit the field vendor to only allow one selection. While in isolation that would get the job done, the vendor field is used in multiple places throughout the app, limiting its use in other circumstances.
The solution I went with
Let me tell you a bit about layout containers. They are one of my favorite visualizations in all of Qlik. Layout containers really expand what a user can do as far as customization. Users can layer visualizations on top of each other, use different layers to shape a visualization that way that you desire, or in our case, lock a section of a sheet until a condition is met.
Doing this is very simple. First, we start by transferring all of visualizations from this sheet into our layout container EXCEPT for what we want to let the users interact with before making a selection. In our case, we’ll keep the text box informing the user and the filter pane. If you do it correctly, you should have something that looks like this:
Notice that all our visualizations that we want to lock are within the green line, showing that they are within the layout container. Next, we’ll grab a Text & Image visualization and bring it into our layout container and expand it to cover the entirety of the layout container.
Our screen should now look like this. Please note that we need our new Text & Image visualization to be at the top because in layout containers, the top is equal to the front. If we get out of edit mode, we’ll see this:
So yes, we have locked our visualizations away, but now users cannot see what they are missing out on, or have anyway to access it, even if they do select just one vendor.
Let’s go back into edit mode to fix that, starting with being able to show them what they are missing out on. To do so, simply click on the ‘Edit properties’ in our new Text & Image visualization. From here we can go into ‘Styling’ then ‘Background color’. Click on the color and adjust the transparency. I’ve found that 40% works well.
Great! Now users can see that there is more to this sheet but cannot interact with it. Let’s fix that. With layout containers, we can create a ‘show’ condition for a visualization within it. For our app, we’ll use this expression for our show condition: ‘=GetSelectedCount([GlobalMaster])<>1’. Let’s break this expression down. ‘GetSelectedCount’ returns the number of selected values in the field called ‘GlobalMaster’. GlobalMaster is the dimension that our Vendor filter pane uses. Next, we have GlobalMaster, which is the field we want to center our show condition around. Last, we have <>1 which translates to ‘not equal to 1’. Put that all together and we get “Show this visualization if the returned value of the field GlobalMaster is not equal to 1.” We now click ‘Apply’ and we’re set!
Now we test:
Here we see that a Vendor is not selected, therefore I cannot click any of the other visualizations on the sheet. But if I select a Vendor, our textbox disappears and we’re able to access the rest of the sheet!
Perfect!
Thank you for reading this tutorial for diving into this use case of a layout container. What are some creative ways that you have used layout containers in your own apps? Leave them in a comment below!

The new Straight Table was moved into the new native section of charts from the visualization bundle. The new Straight Table offers many improvements from the old table, and we encourage everyone to start using the new table instead of the old one.
We've put together an article that aims to answer any frequently asked questions around this switch, beginning with:
- The old table will not be removed anytime soon. It will continue to work until further notice. We encourage you to subscribe to the Qlik Support Blog and What's New in Qlik Cloud to stay ahead of updates.
- The old table will not be updated further. Use the new table to benefit from future improvements.
- We monitor your feedback and will improve the functionality of the new table.
To read up on new features, as well as how to replace the old table, head over to The new Straight Table and old Table (retired) in Qlik Analytics.

Educators gain access to Qlik Sense software, interactive learning platforms, ready-to-use course materials, and self-paced online training. The curriculum is suitable for a wide range of disciplines—from business and economics to healthcare, sports management, sustainability, and beyond.
