Welcome back Angelika Klidas-Qlik Educator Ambassador for 2026!

Show MoreAngelika is based in the Netherlands and teaches at the University of Applied Sciences in Amsterdam (HVA). She remains the driving force behind the Minor in Data & Analytics, where she seamlessly embeds Qlik into her curriculum. Her mission is clear: to empower students with the tools, knowledge, and confidence they need to find their own path in the ever-evolving data and AI landscape. This year we even have a Guest lecture from Igor Alcantara Qlik Partner Ambassador and Qlik MVP live in Amsterdam, where he will be attending live and give a lecture about Qlik Predict and Qlik Answers. The power of the Qlik Community stands out where we all can work together and help students to grow in the field of Data &AI.
In 2025 and 2026, Angelika focused on developing various trainings through her work with the BDC Academy and for her projects at the Union where she works as an advisor and trainer. Her teaching philosophy continues to reflect her signature motto: “Think big, act small, scale fast”—encouraging her students to start smart and aim high. She’s also writing her second book with former Chief Learning Officer at Qlik Kevin Hanegan which will be a second version of the book Data Literacy in Practice which was launched on the 30th of November 2022 and has been sold over 5000 times across the world.
Angelika’s impact speaks for itself—nearly 40% of her students are now working in data-related roles, with some even leading IT departments where Qlik plays an integral role. Her classroom is a launchpad for real-world careers, and her students’ success stories are a testament to the practical and inspiring education she provides.
A true data advocate, Angelika believes that Data & AI Literacy is more vital than ever. In her words:
“Analytics is no longer a 'nice to have'—it’s a must. A Data & AI strategy, trusted data, and strong governance must be part of every organization’s roadmap. Only then can Data & AI thrive and deliver meaningful insights.”
She continues to challenge her students and organizations and her students to look at AI as a subset (advanced) of Data Literacy, as true AI Literacy requires Data Literacy, therefore it can't be seen as separate areas.
Angelika's dedication goes far beyond the classroom. She recently collaborated with her customer Van Oord on a powerful Qlik app that was spotlighted on the qlik.org platform by Julie Kae. This same project earned Van Oord the Transformation Award at Qlik Connect—a real-world success story that she proudly shares with her students as a source of inspiration and motivation.
When asked why she continues to serve as an Educator Ambassador, Angelika answered simply and sincerely:
“I just love the program. It gives my students the opportunity to get excited about Qlik Sense—just like I did—and bring that knowledge into the companies they work for.”
We’re proud to have Angelika as part of our community and look forward to another impactful year of collaboration. Her work continues to bridge academia and industry, building the next generation of data-literate leaders.

Qlik is improving how the Qlik Cloud platform handles themes and extensions. As part of this transition, existing themes and extensions are being moved to a new service.
What does this mean for me?
While the migration has been ongoing in the backend for some time, we are now surfacing a Migration status column in your Qlik Cloud Administration center. This status message will help you identify whether you need to take action or if the theme or extension has already been migrated successfully.
The column is temporary and will be removed once the migration work is completed.
How the migration works
Starting from last year (November 17th), themes and extensions are automatically migrated to the new service if:
- They are being newly uploaded
- They are actively in use, meaning an end user has opened the sheet using the theme or extension
What about inactive themes and extensions?
To protect customer-owned content, Qlik will not migrate unused themes or extensions. A migration will only trigger if they are:
- accessed, which triggers migration to the new service, or
- you manually confirm them for migration
What action do I need to take?
Review your themes and extensions and identify those that have been inactive since November 17th, 2025:
- Log in to your Qlik Cloud tenant
- Navigate to the Administration Center
- Open either your Extensions or Themes
- Scroll to the right to find the new Status column
Possible Migration status values:
- Not migrated: The theme has not been migrated.
- Queued for migration: The theme has been queued and will migrate during the next scheduled migration run.
- Migration in progress: The theme is currently being migrated.
- Migrated: The theme has been successfully migrated.
What happens if a theme or extension is set to status "Queued for migration"?
An extension or theme may be listed as Queued for migration:
This is caused by a part of the extension or theme bundle being corrupt or missing. If you notice a resource is stuck in the Queued for migration status, re-upload the resource; it will be automatically migrated.
Will the unused themes and extensions be deleted?
Unused content will be removed if it is not accessed or migrated by September 17th, 2026.
An in-product alert will alert you of any unmigrated extensions or themes up until the 17th of September.
If you have any questions, we're happy to assist. Reply to this blog post or take your queries to our Support Chat.

Purpose This app is an interactive sales analytics dashboard designed to monitor business performance, explore trends, and support data-driven decisions. What it shows Key KPIs: total sales, number of customers, sub-categories, and average unit price Sales breakdown by region, state, and city Product-level insights (quantity sold, top-performing items) Category and sub-category performance Time trends (yearly and quarterly sales) Interactive filters for category and region to drill down into data
Discoveries
📊Sales Performance Insights The North region appears to have the highest sales, closely followed by West and East, while South is slightly lower. Overall sales are strong (over 109M), indicating healthy business performance. 🏙️ City-Level Trends Surat (~11.9%) and Bangalore (~10.3%) are among the top contributing cities. Cities like Mumbai, Chennai, and Pune contribute fairly evenly (~9–10%), showing a well-distributed market. 🗺️ State-Level Insights Karnataka leads in state-wise sales (~15M), followed by Telangana and Maharashtra. There is a cluster of high-performing southern and western states, suggesting strong regional demand.
Impact
: 🚀 Revenue Growth Impact Strong performance in top regions and states (like North and Karnataka) means you can double down on high-performing markets to drive faster revenue growth. The slight dip in 2024 highlights a need for corrective strategies (promotions, new products) to avoid stagnation. 🎯 Market Strategy Impact Well-distributed city contributions reduce risk, but top cities (Surat, Bangalore) offer opportunities for targeted campaigns and expansion. Underperforming regions can be improved with localized marketing and pricing strategies. 📦 Product Strategy Impact High-value products (e.g., laptops) contribute significantly → focus on premium product positioning and upselling. Low-performing items (e.g., accessories with low sales) may lead to inventory inefficiencies, so consider bundling or discontinuation. 💰 Profitability Impact A high average unit price (~10K) suggests strong margins, but optimizing the product mix can further increase profitability. Better alignment of demand vs. supply reduces holding costs and wastage. 👥 Customer Impact With relatively fewer customers generating high sales, there’s an opportunity to: Increase customer base (acquisition campaigns) Boost retention and repeat purchases (loyalty programs) 📈 Decision-Making Impact Leadership can make faster, data-driven decisions using this centralized dashboard. Enables proactive actions instead of reactive ones (e.g., spotting declining trends early).
Audience
Sales managers, business analysts, and marketing teams use the app to track performance and identify trends. Executives rely on it for quick, data-driven decisions to drive growth and strategy.
Data and advanced analytics
The app uses structured sales data (customers, products, regions, and time) to generate insights. It applies advanced analytics like trend analysis, regional comparison, and KPI tracking to uncover patterns and support predictive, data-driven decisions.

Show MoreIn Belo Horizonte, Brazil, the best ideas don't stay in the classroom. For Priscila, they never did. We are proud to welcome Priscila back as a Qlik Educator Ambassador for 2026.
At Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Minas Gerais, she teaches MBA and postgraduate students across some of the most vital disciplines in modern business: data-driven culture, data governance, AI for business, and market intelligence. Her students are not fresh graduates finding their footing. They are analysts, managers, and executives who arrive carrying real, unresolved problems from real organizations and Priscila has built her classroom to be the place where those problems finally meet their match.
"The classes become very dynamic," she says, "because we can discuss real problems brought by the students themselves."
That energy is not a happy accident. It is the result of years spent equally inside lecture halls and inside the organizations her students go home to every evening, someone who has lived both worlds deeply enough to bridge them.
A Curriculum Built to Last
Priscila has spent recent years building something more purposeful than a course catalog. Three ideas now sit at the heart of everything she teaches: data quality, data governance, and data and AI fluency. Not as boxes to check, but as a framework her students carry into every analysis, every dashboard, and every decision they will ever make.
Her reasoning is both simple and powerful. Analytics and artificial intelligence only generate real value when the data underneath them is trustworthy and well governed. Without that foundation, even the most brilliant insight collapses. So in her classroom, Qlik is not the finish line, it is the environment where students learn to do something far more valuable than building visualizations. They learn to question them. Sessions frequently use datasets with intentional quality problems, challenging students to diagnose, clean, model, and interpret. They go further still learning to understand predictions, evaluate risks, and identify the optimizations necessary to use AI responsibly and effectively. It is demanding work. It is also the kind of work that transforms a good analyst into an indispensable one.
"What usually makes the difference in interviews is that they can demonstrate not just tool knowledge, but analytical maturity. They can explain how to organize data, structure analyses, and transform information into decisions."
That is the standard Priscila holds her classroom to and the standard the market is increasingly hungry for. Beyond class hours, she actively encourages her students to pursue the Qlik Academic Program's structured learning paths and certifications, giving them a way to build deeper, independently verified fluency that follows them into every organization they join.
Where She Is Taking It in 2026
Priscila's vision for 2026 is as clear as it is ambitious. She wants every student, regardless of course, to leave with a transferable framework for working responsibly and confidently in data and AI-driven environments. Data governance remains at the core because analytics initiatives don't fail for lack of technology. They fail for lack of structure, ownership, and clarity. She is building those foundations directly into her curriculum.
And generative AI? No longer a future conversation.
"The market no longer values only those who can build dashboards. There is growing demand for professionals who understand data quality, modeling, governance, and business context."
Her courses are being designed to produce exactly the professionals the market is looking for but struggling to find.
The Story That Says It All
One story, more than any other, captures what Priscila is truly building.
A student arrived from a completely unrelated background, drawn to data but without a clear path forward. During a Qlik project, he dug into a real dataset from his own company and uncovered critical inconsistencies in a commission process, the kind of deep, invisible problem that organizations live with for years because no one has ever had the tools or the courage to surface it. He surfaced it. Shortly after, he was invited into a more analytical role within the organization.
He told Priscila that what changed wasn't learning a tool. It was learning to structure problems and think with data.
"And for me," she says, "that is exactly what we are trying to build in the classroom."
Not just skilled analysts. Confident, curious thinkers who make organizations better.
A Bridge That Flows Both Ways
Priscila recently brought a Data Literacy program to a healthcare company in Minas Gerais and discovered that one of her own graduate students was already working there. The university and the market, finding each other without anyone planning for it. A reminder that the seeds planted in the classroom have a way of growing in the most unexpected places.
That is the kind of connection the Ambassador Program makes possible at its best. "Everything I have lived and built with Qlik," she says, "makes me continue to believe it is the best tool for the purpose I promote." Her students enter organizations already fluent, already confident, already equipped to contribute from day one. And through the program's global network of educators, Priscila keeps pushing her own boundaries, drawing inspiration from peers across countries and institutions who share her belief that education can and should change how people work.
Every Semester, a New Chapter
Last year, Priscila published her book on Data and AI Fluency — Estratégias e Práticas para trabalhar e viver em um mundo dirigido por dados — a field guide born not from theory, but from years of classrooms, boardrooms, and every honest conversation in between. It now anchors her teaching, returning to the room each semester as a living document that her students immediately recognize as their own professional reality, finally given language and meaning.
The loop is rare and powerful. Teach from experience. Reflect deeply enough to write it down. Then teach again from what the writing revealed. Each cycle sharper. Each cohort more prepared. Each student a little more ready to go out and change something.
That is what an Educator Ambassador looks like.
Congratulations, Priscila. We are proud to have you back and we cannot wait to see what you write next.

Move from reactive monitoring to proactive insight
Business data changes constantly. Metrics shift, patterns evolve, and important signals often hide within complex combinations of dimensions. Teams simply don’t have time to check every chart every day, meaning by the time you notice an issue, the window to act may already be closing.
Traditional alerting doesn’t solve the problem either. Rules-based alerts rely on rigid thresholds, predefined logic, and ongoing maintenance. They only detect the changes you expect to see.
But what about the changes you didn’t know to look for?
Enter, Discovery Agent:
Discovery Agent autonomously monitors your data to identify meaningful changes the moment they happen. Instead of relying on manual dashboard checks or rigid alert rules, Discovery Agent works behind the scenes to scan your Qlik Cloud applications and surface the insights that matter most.
It automatically detects signals such as:
- Spikes and sudden drops
- Meaningful trend shifts
- Record highs or lows
- Changes in baseline behavior
- Forecast divergence
- Potential data quality issues
Read all about it in our innovation blog: Introducing Discovery Agent.
Ready to get started? Discovery Agent is now available in Qlik Cloud Analytics, bringing proactive, AI-driven monitoring directly into your analytics workflows.

We are pleased to welcome Dr. Ravi Aavula from the Department of Data Science, Anurag University, Hyderabad, India as the Qlik Academic Program Educator Ambassador for 2026.Dr Ravi was introduced to Qlik while searching for effective data visualization tools to support data science and analytics courses. When he explored the Qlik Academic Program, he found it very useful because it offers free access, learning materials, and certifications for students and educators. This encouraged him to start using Qlik in his teaching.
As an Educator, Dr Ravi believes in imparting students’ practical skills along with strong theoretical knowledge. His focus is on helping students understand real-world applications of data analytics so that they are better prepared for industry careers.
Dr Ravi has been introducing and teaching content from the Qlik Academic Program in data analytics and data visualization courses for the past few years.
His opinion about Qlik Sense is that it is easy to use and very powerful. It allows students to explore data, find patterns, and create dashboards quickly. In Data Science, visualization is very important to understand and present insights clearly, and the software supports this effectively.
In terms of integrating the program resources in his classroom, Dr Ravi has included the academic program in the following ways :- Lab sessions
- Guiding students to build dashboards
- Encouraging students to complete academic program training, qualifications and certifications
- Distributing assignments and mini projects using real datasets.
In terms of other activities with educators and students, he has conducted workshops, training & Faculty Development Programs ( FDPs) such as:
- Student workshops on data visualization
- Hands-on training sessions on Qlik Sense
- Faculty Development Programs (FDPs) on Data Analytics
- Training programs for Qualifications and Certifications
According to Dr Ravi, students who learned through the Qlik Academic Program improved their resumes and gained confidence. Some performed better in interviews because of the hands-on experience they gained with an industry leader.
“We experienced that knowledge of analytics technologies like Qlik supports students in securing internships and job opportunities in data-related roles”, says Dr Ravi.
At the University level, Dr Ravi promotes the use of the academic program in the Department of Data Science and other departments like Computer Science Engineering, AIML and Management. He encourages faculty members to adopt practical analytics tools in their teaching. He looks forward to actively contributing to the Qlik community and representing Anurag University through this role.
Dr Ravi has outlined certain goals as an Educator Ambassador, such as:- Increase the number of students completing the Qlik Academic Program Qualifications and Certifications
- Integrate Qlik into more data science projects
- Encourage students to focus on data storytelling
- Strengthen practical analytics learning
As far as future of analytics is concerned, Dr Ravi feels that Analytics and Data Science are growing rapidly. Every industry depends on data-driven decision making. Students must not only analyze data but also present insights clearly. Technologies like Qlik Sense help students develop these important skills. Higher education must focus more on practical learning and data literacy.
A bit on the other side of Dr Ravi-when he’s not teaching, he works on curriculum development, academic planning, and research in data science and analytics. He also enjoys learning new technologies, spending time with his family, and reading about education and leadership.
As a Qlik Educator Ambassador, he hopes to connect with global educators, share best practices in analytics education, learn innovative teaching methods, promote data literacy in higher education.For more information about the Qlik Academic Program, visit: qlik.com/academicprogram

Welcome back Javier Leon-Qlik Educator Ambassador for 2026!
Expanding Impact Through Teaching Javier continues to teach across multiple institutions, working with undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral students ... Show MoreExpanding Impact Through Teaching
Javier continues to teach across multiple institutions, working with undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral students in areas such as analytics, business intelligence, data visualization, project management, and artificial intelligence. His approach centers on making learning practical, relevant, and career-focused.
“My goal is always to help students connect what they learn in the classroom with the kinds of challenges they will face in the real world,” Javier explains. “I want them to graduate not only understanding concepts, but also knowing how to apply them using the tools and methods that organizations rely on today.”
That commitment to applied learning has helped many students strengthen their confidence, sharpen their technical skills, and become more competitive in the job market.
Continuing Research and Recent Publication
In addition to teaching, Javier continues to stay active in research. He was recently published in the Research in Business and Economics Journal for his work on neural network forecasting of U.S. imported fruit prices. His research explored how hybrid AI models can improve forecasting accuracy in complex agricultural markets, offering practical implications for decision-making, supply chain planning, and market stability.
“Research keeps me current and helps me bring fresh ideas into the classroom,” Javier says. “It allows me to show students how analytics and AI can be used not just in theory, but in meaningful applications that affect industries, organizations, and communities.”
His continued work in research reinforces his commitment to bridging academic learning with practical, high-impact problem solving.
The Power of Qlik in Student Learning
Qlik continues to be a central part of Javier’s teaching philosophy and classroom experience.
“Qlik is an outstanding platform for helping students truly understand the power of data,” he explains. “It allows them to move beyond static reports and really interact with information, ask better questions, and discover insights on their own.”
Javier emphasizes that Qlik creates powerful learning moments for students by making data exploration intuitive, visual, and engaging. It helps students experience the kind of analytical thinking that employers increasingly value, while also giving them confidence with a professional tool they can talk about in interviews and apply in the workplace.
“One of the things I value most about Qlik is how quickly it helps students get to those breakthrough moments,” he says. “They begin to see data not just as numbers, but as a story, a strategy, and a decision-making asset.”
For many students, exposure to Qlik has strengthened their understanding of dashboards, KPIs, business intelligence, and data storytelling in a way that feels immediate and relevant.
Integrating AI in the Classroom
Another major area of focus for Javier has been the integration of artificial intelligence into the classroom.
“AI is transforming the way organizations operate, so it is essential that students understand both its potential and how to use it responsibly,” Javier says. “I’ve been integrating more AI-related concepts, tools, and discussions into my courses so students can develop the mindset and skills they will need in the future.”
His students are increasingly exposed to topics such as machine learning, forecasting, predictive analytics, and AI-supported decision-making, always with an emphasis on practical application and ethical use. Rather than treating AI as a trend, Javier incorporates it as a meaningful extension of analytics education.
“I want students to see AI as something they can understand, evaluate, and apply,” he explains. “When integrated well, it makes the classroom more dynamic, more innovative, and more aligned with where industry is headed.”
By combining AI with hands-on assignments, real datasets, and business-focused problem solving, Javier helps students develop a stronger foundation for modern analytics work.
Helping Students Build Real-World Skills
Javier remains deeply committed to giving students opportunities to build skills they can use immediately in their careers. His courses emphasize hands-on learning, real-world case studies, interactive projects, and exposure to tools that support data-driven decision-making.
Whether students are learning about business intelligence, data visualization, analytics, or AI, his focus remains the same: helping them become better thinkers, better communicators, and better problem-solvers.
Why the Educator Ambassador Role Matters
For Javier, being part of the Educator Ambassador Program continues to be both meaningful and energizing.
“Being an Educator Ambassador allows me to stay connected to a broader community of educators who care deeply about innovation, student success, and the future of analytics education,” he says. “It also gives me the opportunity to continue bringing valuable Qlik resources and ideas into my courses.”
He sees the role as an extension of his mission to empower students with relevant, applied, and forward-looking learning experiences.
Looking Ahead
Javier is excited to continue building learning experiences that combine analytics, AI, and business problem-solving in ways that prepare students for long-term success.
“I’m grateful to be part of a community that values data literacy, innovation, and student growth,” he says. “The future of education in analytics is incredibly exciting, and I look forward to continuing to help students build the confidence and skills they need to thrive.”
Through his teaching, research, and commitment to practical learning, Javier continues to make a strong impact on students and on the future of analytics education.

Organizations today rely heavily on dashboards. But dashboards only work when someone goes looking.
In reality, business data changes constantly. Metrics shift, patterns evolve, and important signals often hide within complex combinations of dimensions. Teams simply don’t have time to check every chart every day. In many cases by the time someone notices an issue, the window to act may already be closing.
Traditional alerting doesn’t solve the problem either. Rules-based alerts rely on rigid thresholds, predefined logic, and ongoing maintenance. They only detect the changes you expect to see.
But what about the changes you didn’t know to look for?
That’s why we’re excited to introduce our new Discovery Agent.
Move from reactive monitoring to proactive insight
Discovery Agent autonomously monitors your data to identify meaningful changes the moment they happen.
Instead of relying on manual dashboard checks or rigid alert rules, Discovery Agent works behind the scenes to scan your Qlik Cloud applications and surface the insights that matter most.
It automatically detects signals such as:
- Spikes and sudden drops
- Meaningful trend shifts
- Record highs or lows
- Changes in baseline behavior
- Forecast divergence
- Potential data quality issues
Rather than flooding users with alerts, Discovery Agent evaluates statistical significance and prioritizes only the most meaningful insights. And with direct linking to Qlik Answers, you can use AI to explore insights further.
The result: teams see what matters first and can respond faster.
A new way to stay on top of your business
Discovery Agent transforms how organizations monitor performance.
Discovery Agent pushes prioritized insights directly to users through an intelligent feed and digest.
Each detected change is summarized in clear, readable language so users can quickly understand:
- What changed
- Where it happened
- Why it matters
This dramatically reduces the time analysts spend manually checking metrics and helps organizations stay ahead of emerging issues and opportunities.
See Discovery Agent in action
You can explore how Discovery Agent works through this interactive walkthrough.
The demo shows how Discovery Agent automatically detects anomalies, surfaces the most relevant insights, and enables users to immediately explore further inside Qlik apps.
Built on the power of the Qlik Analytics Engine
Discovery Agent is uniquely powerful because it is built directly on the Qlik Analytics Engine, the technology at the heart of Qlik that powers our analytics experience.
The engine allows Discovery Agent to analyze metrics and spot anomalies across wide combinations of dimension values, for entire data models, at high speed and scale, and at a fraction of the cost of SQL-based approaches. The engine evaluates relationships across the full dataset and supports rapid analytical calculations at scale, enabling powerful AI-driven discovery on complex business data.
With the Qlik analytics engine, Discovery Agent can:
- Analyze complex dimensional combinations quickly
- Detect patterns traditional analytics miss
- Scale efficiently across large data models
- Deliver insights without impacting app performance
This approach makes autonomous monitoring possible even for large enterprise environments.
From anomaly detection to agentic intelligence
Discovery Agent is an important part of Qlik’s agentic experience.
Within Qlik’s evolving agentic AI architecture, specialized agents collaborate to transform data into action. Discovery Agent plays a key role by monitoring data and surfacing insights that other agents can reason and act on.
Over time, we plan to further integrate Discovery Agent into our agentic system so you can:
- Interact with Discovery Agent through Qlik Answers
- Use insights to trigger automation workflows
- Deliver insights through email and third-party integrations
- Participate in broader multi-agent analytics processes
This moves organizations beyond traditional analytics toward a proactive, intelligent agentic environment where AI helps monitor and interpret data continuously.

Data Flow Processors: Sort, Remove and Split Fields

Show MoreIf you have not gotten the chance, please read Jennell Yorkman’s posts on Data Flow Processors that she posted last week as this post is a continuation of that one. In her entry, she goes over what data processors are, how to access them, and deeper coverage on the Filter, Join and Unpivot Processors. Her blog can be found here.
In this blog post, we’re going to talk about three more processors: Sort, Remove and Split Fields.
The 'Sort' processor is a simple processor that allows users to sort numeric or textual data from your fields by ascending or descending order. Here in our college football dataset, we have our Index, Year and lower_school (short for lower case school). Our year field is sorted in ascending order, having the oldest data first, but what if we wanted it to be the most recent data first instead?
That is where the Sort processor comes in, we would connect this dataset to a Sort processor, select the field we want to sort, in this case the Year, and the direction we want it sorted, in our case Descending. With just a few clicks, our most recent data is now at the top, ready to be used.
The next processor we’ll take a look at is the 'Remove' processor. The Remove processor simply allows a user to remove unwanted fields from a dataset. Continuing in my College Football app, I have a dataset that contains three fields, Index, Year and lower_school. If I wanted to remove that Index field, I would use the Remove processor.
Here I have loaded my dataset and attached it to a Remove processor. The fields within this dataset will appear. I simply select the ‘Index’ field and hit Apply.
Just that easily, Index is removed.
Now we can look at preparing this dataset the opposite way. Going back to our Index, Year and lower_school dataset, what if we wanted not to remove Index, but keep Year and lower_school? We could simply use the ‘Select Fields’ processor.
Just like with the Remove processor, the fields within the dataset will appear once it is connected to the Select Field process. In this example, we’d select our Year and lower_school fields, because those are the fields we are going to keep. While this is a small scale example, think if you had a dataset with 1000 fields, but only wanted data from three or four of them. This would provide a much cleaner and faster load for your application.
Thank you for taking the time to read this blog entry! How do you think these data processors can help you prepare your data? Are these any of the data processors you would like to see us cover next? Drop some ideas down in the comments below!

This extension can help uncovering otherwise hard to find usability issues and direct user sentiment by giving users an immediate, in-app mechanism to rate apps and report bugs. Administrators discover exactly which app, sheet, browser, and environment a user was in when an issue occurred or feedback was submitted, removing the guesswork from application support.
Impact
HelpButton.qs significantly reduces support friction and eliminates the time-consuming back-and-forth usually required to troubleshoot vague user issues. By supplying contextual tooltips right alongside complex visualizations, it accelerates user onboarding and saves hours of manual documentation routing.
Audience
The primary audience spans from everyday Qlik Sense Users (who benefit from contextual help on their sheets) to System Administrators / Developers (who monitor the feedback payloads). The button is displayed prominently in the native Qlik Sense app toolbar and tooltips are rendered on specific charts, making it an ever-present, mission-critical asset accessed continuously by anyone using the deployed apps.
Data and advanced analytics
HelpButton.qs automatically captures dynamic session metadata (User ID, App ID, Sheet ID, Qlik Version) securely through the native Qlik API directly within the extension. It then packages and transports these insights via flexible authenticated webhook payloads (POST requests) seamlessly to external workflow platforms or just plain text files on a server.
