Not All Catalogs Are Governance. Not All Governance Is a Catalog
One question I get asked a lot is "We're evaluating Qlik alongside a standalone data governance catalog. How do you compare?" It's a reasonable questi... Show MoreOne question I get asked a lot is "We're evaluating Qlik alongside a standalone data governance catalog. How do you compare?"
It's a reasonable question. But the framing inside it, that you're choosing between Qlik and a standalone governance catalog, misses something important about what governance requires. So let me try to untangle it.
The question behind the question
Data intelligence platforms are built to balance two distinct problems, and most organizations have both. The first is context capture: building a unified metadata view to understand and optimize your data integration landscape. That means technical context, operational context, and governance context, all in one place. The second is context delivery: getting trusted context, with clear ownership and accountability, to the analytics, APIs, and AI agents that need it to produce real business outcomes.
Both problems matter. They're related. However, they aren't the same problem, and they don't call for the same solution.
Two Catalogs, One Trusted Foundation
Context capture is where most metadata catalogs live, and the focus is heavily technical: inventorying schemas, tables, and columns across the estate; harvesting metadata from cross-platform sources; tracing column-level lineage from origin to destination; and powering search and discovery so data engineers and platform teams can find the right asset and understand its dependencies. Beyond those core technical jobs, the same catalogs also support regulatory and audit needs with cross-domain lineage, enterprise-wide policy enforcement, and classification. Qlik's Talend Data Catalog is one example of such a catalog solution.
Context delivery requires a knowledge catalog that makes trusted data easy to discover, understand, and consume. In Qlik Talend Cloud, this includes a data product marketplace where users can find and request trusted data products, domain-driven ownership that enables teams to publish and manage data with clear accountability, rich business and technical context that helps both people and AI agents understand data, and usage intelligence that provides visibility into adoption and value. Together, these capabilities transform governed data into a consumable asset for analytics, AI, and business operations.
The two aren't redundant. They serve different roles in the same data organization. Having both is what moves you from "we have a governance program" to "our governance actually produces something useful."But here's where I think the market conversation often stops too early.
Where Governance Has to Run
A standalone governance catalog typically answers a question about inventory : what data do we have, where did it come from, and what rules apply to it? It documents. It organizes. It certifies. What it can't answer is the question that matters most data practitioners - which is whether the data is trustworthy or not for a business use-case?
That's where Qlik's approach is different. The knowledge catalog capabilities in Qlik Talend Cloud don't just surface what data products are available. They carry live trust signals with them. The Qlik Trust Score on a data product reflects what happened in the pipeline: accuracy, completeness, and timeliness, computed at runtime. Anomalies get flagged before bad data reaches a consumer. Trustworthiness isn't a label someone applied. It's a measurement the product makes continuously.
The full sequence looks like this. Discover and understand your data through active metadata, lineage, and semantic search. Trust and validate it with Qlik Trust Score for AI, which measures accuracy, completeness, consistency, and timeliness as a live computed signal. Govern and secure it through PII detection and classification, role-based access, and policies enforced at runtime. Steward and operationalize it through quality improvement cycles and continuous remediation. Then activate and deliver it: data products integrated with analytics and AI tools, with usage tracking so you can measure impact.
Context capture builds the foundation. Context delivery makes it useful. A standalone catalog only handles part of that sequence.
The Practical Takeaway
When someone asks whether to use Qlik's knowlege catalog capabilities alongside a standalone governance catalog, my honest answer is: it depends on whether you are solving for context capture or context delivery or both.
If you're a data engineer or architect and solving for context capture — inventorying the estate, tracing lineage across your entire organizational estate, classifying assets, supporting audit and compliance — a metadata catalog can handle that work. If you're a business data steward or business user solving for context delivery — publishing trusted data products, enforcing contracts and SLAs, routing governed inputs to analytics and AI agents — you need a solution like Qlik Talend Cloud.
And if the real question is whether governance holds when data actually moves — whether SLAs are met, whether the Trust Score reflects what just ran in the pipeline — that's delivery work. No standalone catalog can answer it, and that has to come from the underlying integration and quality substrate that Qlik Talend Cloud provides.
In summary, context capture gives you the picture of your data. Context delivery puts that picture to work so that analytics, APIs, and AI agents that depend on it. Governance should not exist as a separate layer above the data stack. It must be natively integrated into every stage of the data lifecycle. Only then can organizations move beyond governance processes to deliver governance outcomes.
Don't get capture context, deliver it to drive your AI and Agentic outcomes. Try Qlik Talend Cloud® free to see this in action.

Upcoming changes to how CSS for custom Qlik Analytics themes is handled
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_D... Show MoreEdited 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.

At the University of Worcester, students recently participated in a two-day Qlik Business Analyst Qualification Bootcamp designed to help them build confidence with analytics concepts while preparing for the Qlik Business Analyst Qualification.
The bootcamp was led by Qlik Luminary Nick Seagrave, who generously volunteered his time and expertise to support the students throughout the event. The initiative was also supported by Peter Clews, Lecturer in Web Applications at the University of Worcester, and made possible through the collaboration of Richard Wilkinson, Head of Computing, whose support helped bring the idea from concept to reality.
Throughout the two-day session, students worked through key business analytics concepts, explored data visualization best practices, and gained hands-on experience building dashboards and analyzing data with Qlik.
The highlight came on the second day, when all students who attended the bootcamp successfully passed the Qlik Business Analyst Qualification and earned their qualification badges.
Beyond earning a qualification, the students gained practical analytics skills that can help strengthen their employability and demonstrate their capabilities to future employers. As organizations continue to invest in data-driven decision-making, experience with analytics tools and recognized industry qualifications can provide students with a valuable advantage as they enter the job market.
The bootcamp also highlighted the value of collaboration between academia and industry. By combining the expertise of university educators with support from Qlik professionals and community members, students were able to gain both academic and practical perspectives on modern analytics.
Exploring Advanced Predictive Analytics and AI at AGH University of Krakow
While the Worcester bootcamp focused on business analytics foundations and qualifications, a recent session in Poland took students into some of the more advanced areas of modern analytics and artificial intelligence.
Working with AGH University of Krakow, the Qlik Academic Program delivered an advanced hands-on workshop for master's students interested in predictive analytics and AI.
The session was led by Piter Harb, Senior Technical Trainer at Qlik, and organized in collaboration with Janusz Opiła and his colleagues at AGH University of Krakow. Janusz teaches a variety of courses in business informatics, advanced analytics, and AI, including master's-level modules, and is passionate about connecting students with practical technologies and real-world applications.
During the workshop, students explored advanced analytics concepts through practical exercises and demonstrations using Qlik's latest capabilities. Topics included predictive analytics, artificial intelligence, advanced data visualization techniques, and Model Context Protocol (MCP), providing students with exposure to technologies that are increasingly shaping the future of analytics.
Rather than focusing solely on theory, the session emphasized practical application, allowing students to see how AI-driven analytics can be used to generate insights, support decision-making, and solve complex business challenges.
The feedback from both students and educators was extremely positive, highlighting the value of providing direct access to industry professionals and cutting-edge analytics technologies as part of the learning experience. The university has already expressed interest in exploring additional collaboration opportunities, demonstrating the growing importance of advanced analytics and AI skills within higher education.
Supporting Students Across the Analytics Journey
Although these two sessions focused on very different topics, they shared a common objective: helping students build skills that are relevant in today's increasingly data-driven world.
Whether supporting students preparing for an industry qualification or introducing master's students to advanced predictive analytics and AI concepts, the Qlik Academic Program remains committed to helping educators provide engaging, practical learning experiences that connect academic knowledge with real-world application.
A special thank you to Nick Seagrave, Richard Wilkinson, Peter Clews, Piter Harb, Janusz Opiła, and everyone involved in making these sessions possible.
We look forward to continuing to support educators and students across EMEA through workshops, guest lectures, qualifications, and hands-on learning opportunities throughout the year.

Show MoreAn update is being deployed to Qlik Cloud tenants starting May 28th (today), offering improved governance of the Qlik Analytics mobile app. See Setting permissions for the Qlik Analytics mobile app.
What does the update include?
A new version of the Qlik Analytics mobile app is now available for download (in app stores). In addition, Tenant Administrators can now manage user access using three scopes:
- Allowed (standard mobile app access)
- Not Allowed (mobile app access denied)
- Allowed with Intune (mobile access with mandatory Intune enrollment)
In addition to access controls, these scopes strengthen the Microsoft Intune integration through a new server-side control for MAM deployment, replacing the previously user-controlled MAM toggle.
What does this mean for me?
The update takes effect once users update to the latest version of the mobile app. For most existing users, there will be no impact, as the default scope is set to Allowed, a control point not available in the previous release.
If you use Qlik Analytics and Intune
The following two things need to be taken into consideration:
- The solution now requires Microsoft Edge as the browser for the Qlik Cloud authorization flow.
- If you have deployed the Qlik Analytics app via MDM Intune, you will need to modify the scope for those users to be Allowed with Intune.
Some users may experience authentication issues after updating to the new version of the mobile app if this configuration is not completed by the Tenant Administrator.
Reference the configuration specifications for more information:

Since then, and thanks to lots of individual contributors here in the Community, the Search Cheat Sheet has suffered several transformations to make it more complete and truthful.
@afurtado wrote me an email a few weeks ago because he was interested in getting the document localized for the Brazilian folks out there. In addition to thank him for his contribution and sending him the file I decided that it was about the time to get the Search Cheat Sheet an update.
Today I want to introduce a new version of the document. I added the compound search section to it (@jayanttibhe thanks for the tip), and I redesigned and rationalized the position of each element for better comprehension.
As an extra, I made the document multilanguage ready. So, if someone wants to translate the Cheat Sheet to other language (currently available in English, Spanish and Portuguese) please let me know in the comments section and I'll gladly tell you how to help us.
Hope you like it, and please share it.

Show MoreSnowflake is rolling out stronger authentication requirements as part of their platform security initiative. Starting May 2026, new connections using only username and password will no longer be accepted, and all existing password-only connections will stop working between August and October 2026.
For the full rollout schedule, see Snowflake's authentication enforcement timeline.
If your Qlik Sense Cloud Analytics, Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows, or QlikView environment connects to Snowflake, you will need to update those connections to use either key-pair authentication or OAuth before this change takes effect.
Who does this apply to?
This applies to any Qlik Cloud Analytics, Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows, and QlikView connection to Snowflake, where the authentication method is set to Username and Password only. Connections that already use key-pair authentication or OAuth do not need to change.
To check your connections, review the Data connections and look for any Snowflake connections using username and password authentication.
What are my migration options?
There are two supported authentication methods you can migrate to.
Key-Pair Authentication
Key-pair authentication uses an RSA private/public key pair assigned to the Snowflake user account. It is the most straightforward migration path and does not require an identity provider. This option is recommended for most customers.
For setup steps, see Snowflake key-pair authentication documentation and the Qlik Snowflake connector guide.
OAuth
OAuth integrates with your existing identity provider (such as Okta or Azure AD) and is well-suited for organisations that want centralised access control and token-based authentication. It requires an OAuth security integration to be configured in Snowflake.
See the Qlik Snowflake connector guide and Snowflake OAuth documentation.
OAuth support for Snowflake was introduced to Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows with our May 2026 release.

Brought to you by Savraj Rakkar, Benoit Barranco, and Sébastien Leduc.
The Qlik Talend Cloud Migration Toolkit (QTCMT) is a structured migration solution built for teams running Talend on-premises who are looking to move to Qlik Talend Cloud and upgrade their project code to Talend 8. Whether the destination is the cloud or an on-premises environment, the Qlik Talend Cloud Migration Toolkit provides a clear, automated path to get there.
The Qlik Talend Cloud Migration Toolkit also extends beyond Talend Administration Center (TAC), offering an inventory view of Qlik Enterprise Manager (QEM) and Stitch environments so teams can see their full data integration footprint in one place.
The Core Capabilities
Talend Administration Center
- Register a Talend Administration Center server and browse the complete asset inventory
- Generate assessment reports to understand the migration scope before committing to any changes
- Migrate administrative assets (users, groups, projects, authorizations) and runtime assets (tasks, triggers, plans), including artifact uploads to Nexus 3 or JFrog Artifactory, CVE report generation, and Talend 8 code upgrades
- Automate on-premises upgrades to Talend 8 without a cloud migration
- Run project quality checks to surface best-practice violations and a broad range of code issues, with exportable reports
Qlik Enterprise Manager and Stitch
- View Enterprise Manager and Stitch inventories directly within QTCMT to understand the broader environment before migrating a single asset
Why use the Qlik Talend Cloud Migration Toolkit?
- Automated, phased workflows reduce migration effort significantly, cutting weeks or months off a manual migration timeline in many cases
- Full visibility into Talend Administration Center, Qlik Enterprise Manager, and Stitch environments is available before any assets are touched
- Asset configurations, parameters, authorizations, and project code are preserved throughout the migration process
- The phased approach allows assets to be migrated in stages, reducing risk to production environments and giving teams control over the pace
- Teams not yet ready to migrate can still use Qlik Talend Cloud Migration Toolkit to assess their current environment and plan ahead using the assessment and project quality tools
Why Move to Qlik Talend Cloud?
Moving to Qlik Talend Cloud means less time managing servers, upgrades, and infrastructure, and more time focused on actual work. New features ship monthly, so the platform improves continuously without any effort from the team. Data stays current across connected systems in real time, and the platform scales as needs grow. Teams also benefit from unlimited users and execution engines, backed by a generous initial capacity band.
Getting Started
The best first step is installing the Qlik Talend Cloud Migration Toolkit through the Qlik Help Migration Center and connecting it to an existing Talend Administration Center, Qlik Enterprise Manager, or Stitch environment to get an immediate picture of what is there. Full installation steps are available in the Qlik Talend Cloud Migration Toolkit documentation.

Qlik add-ins for Microsoft Office are installed using a manifest file. If you are using an existing manifest, you will need to download and deploy an updated file to access the new add-ins. See the deployment guide Deploying and installing Qlik add-ins for Microsoft Office.
The manifest covers all three productivity tool Add-ins. They cannot be deployed individually.
Notes on the PowerPoint add-in use
Qlik’s integration testing of Microsoft PowerPoint APIs shows that the O365 Add-in for PowerPoint can be unstable or slow at times. Our investigation with Microsoft reveals this to be a known challenge; some APIs on web vs desktop can result in different behaviors.
If your report developers have difficulty with the online PowerPoint Add-in, contact Qlik Support to open a case with us.
While we investigate the integration with Microsoft to determine if a solution is possible, consider developing your reports with the desktop version of PowerPoint.

Show MoreA table recipe is an easy, no-code way to prepare a data set for an app, data flow, script or ML experiment. It is a great way for new users to prepare their data and get started building an app without having to write the script to transform the data. It can also be used by experienced users for quick data prep. Table recipe is available in Qlik Cloud Analytics from the Analytics activity center > Prepare data. You can also access it from the + Create menu option or + Create New button in the catalog. To begin using it, open table recipe, give it a name and select the space you would like to create it in. Once that is done, you will be prompted to select the data set. Note - the table recipe processes one data set at a time.
Once a data file is selected, you can view the fields to confirm it is the correct data set and then you can load it into table recipe. Once it is loaded, you will see a pop up indicating the number of rows and columns in the dataset. Note that all the rows may not be loaded into the table recipe editor, but the recipe will be applied to the entire data set when it is run. Below is a look at the table recipe. On the left is the functions panel that includes several functions that can be used to prepare the data. Functions are grouped as general, columns, strings, dates, numbers and math. On the right is where the steps in our recipe will be added.
Let’s begin with a simple step like deleting a column. I have a Fax column that I do not need so to delete the column; I can click on the column menu (three vertical dots) and select Delete column.
The step will appear on the right in the table recipe, and I can click Apply to remove the Fax column.
Next, let’s split a column into two new columns. I have a Contact Name field with the contact’s full name. I would like to split the name into two fields – one for first name and one for last name. To do this, I will select the Split column function from the list of string functions on the left. Then I can update the details and apply the step. I will change the separator to a space since that is what separates the first and last name in the ContactName column.
Once I apply that step, I can see the two new fields it generated.
I will open the column menu and select Rename column to change the names of the new columns. Once I apply those steps, the columns and the recipe look like the image below. Keep in mind that the table recipe has steps that flow in a specific order. If those steps were to change, you may not get the expected results. For example, if I moved the rename column step above the split column step it would not work because the column I am renaming does not exist yet.
It is also easy to reorder the columns with the table recipe. The Reorder column function is found in the function group named Columns. Simply, select the column you would like to move and click on the Reorder column function. To move the Address column to the left of the City column, I will select the City column from the Anchor column drop down and then click Apply.
We are also able to apply filters to the data if we want to focus on specific rows. In this example, Country has two different values for the United States – USA and US. I would like to change the US values to USA.
After applying the filter, I can see that I have 6 rows with US as the Country. I can use the string Search and replace function to replace US with USA.
This step included my filter, so it only applied it to the rows I have filtered on.
Let’s perform one more step that I use all the time when loading data. We will extract date parts from the OrderDate field. This will allow us to create other date fields such as month and year fields. If I select the OrderDate field and then select the date function Extract date parts, I am presented with all the possible date part fields I can add as a column to my data set. I simply can toggle on any new fields I would like to add.
Once this step is applied, I can see the 4 new date fields I added.
When all the steps have been added to the table recipe, the next steps are to set the target and run the recipe. Setting the target is nothing more than giving the target file a name and file type (qvd, parquet, txt or csv) and selecting the space to create it in.
What is nice about the table recipe is the steps are applied and stored in a new file, separate from the original data set, so you do not have to worry about incorrectly modifying the data set. Once the target is set, the Incomplete recipe message at the top of the page will change to Valid recipe and the Run recipe button will be enabled. Once the recipe is run, you can view your new data set and use it accordingly. The target data set will be stored in the desired space and can be accessed anytime via the catalog.
Notice how all these steps we are creating are very easy and intuitive to build. You do not have to be an expert to perform these steps, and the editor is very user friendly and has a clean flow. What is also nice is that you can see that each step is working as expected when you apply it. Take this product tour to get a feel for the table recipe and then try it for yourself.

Beginning on April 14, 2026, multiple QlikView customers experienced outages and intermittent disruptions within their QlikView environments. These incidents coincided with the deployment of Microsoft’s April 2026 security patches to Domain Controllers, which affected QlikView Server Service (QVS) communications over port 4747.
The Microsoft patches introduced changes targeting Kerberos authentication and RC4 encryption. See Addendum for a list of patches. As a result, QlikView environments where RC4 remained enabled (such as at the domain account or Windows server level) became unstable or non-functional.
The impact on QlikView may include, but is not limited to:
- Failed QlikView Distribution Server distribution tasks with an error code indicating an Authentication Failure.
- "No Server" message on the QlikView AccessPoint with an error message in the Web server log indicating that the Web server cannot connect to the QlikView Server.
- Failed Qlik NPrinting distributions to QlikView using a QVP Connection.
- Problems accessing the QlikView Server settings from the QlikView Management Console, or failures for the QlikView Server to come online after a restart.
What can be done to mitigate this issue?
We've published an article to help address the issue. See QlikView server communication interruptions following Microsoft Windows RC4 cipher suite deprecation.
Information in the article is based on Microsoft's remediation steps and has been adjusted and expanded to include QlikView-specific instructions. For the original, see Detect and remediate RC4 usage in Kerberos | learn.microfot.com.
What action is Qlik taking?
RC4 support was deprecated starting with the May 2024 release of QlikView. The root cause in these cases stems from legacy configurations where RC4 remained enabled in the environment, rather than a defect in QlikView itself. No code changes are planned at this time, though improvements to diagnostic logging are under consideration.
Addendum
Microsoft Patches:
- Windows Server 2022 (DC): KB5082142
- Windows Server 2019 (DC): KB5082123
- Windows Server 2016 (DC): KB508208
