Qlik Community Version Upgrade

[Anonymous]

Hello Qlik Community Members,

I'm sure you noticed our scheduled maintenance window last week and again yesterday. Apologies for the extended outages which we know impact your collaboration and research schedule. These outages were part of a large platform version upgrade project and we did our best to minimize them as much as possible. Qlik Community is now on a newer version of the platform which has some great enhancements to improve user experience as well as fixes for some minor bugs.

Post Upgrade Tips

Please be sure to clear your browser cache and cookies to refresh the community interface. You may want to also log out and log back in. We have tested in all of the primary browsers (Chrome™, Firefox®, Safari® and Internet Explorer®) to ensure the updates are rendering correctly.

For the best experience you should always use the most recent version of your browser which contains extensions, updates, and plugins to help ensure you have the proper experience with loading time, content posting, and video display.

Profile Page

The profile page has been redesigned to be more engaging with larger images, centralized editing, and access to different types of content.

Profile image and details are next to an enhanced image carousel.  The Profile Biography, Connections, and Self Assigned Skills (NEW) are easy to see and update.

Recent Activity displays your Status Update (NEW), Contacts, Featured Content, Recent Places, and different types of content streams.

Filtering

People and Content Filtering has been improved and now allows dual filtering for a more refined search. You can search for content status, assignment, and activity level in specific areas or across the whole Community.

You can also change the display from 'pane' to 'list' style depending on your preference.

We will be posting additional tips in the coming weeks to help you utilize more of the updated features.

Be sure to check your profile information, bookmarks, and content to ensure everything is correct.

If you have questions, issues, or feedback please email sara.leslie@qlik.com

Best Regards,

Qlik Community Management Team

Thanks for your support and request Robert. I think we can look into what features are available for embedding images. We can work with what is available via the platform to see what works for you. In terms of bringing back a previous feature, thats kind of like bringing back from a previous MS version.

Have a great night and I will look at covering some of the image embed best practices in upcoming tips.

Best Regards, Sara

Thanks Sara.

I hope that is possible find a way to implement similar feature.

This was one of the most useful "tools" especially when creating documents.

Thanks for bring back the article

Aside from the many new features, it seems that a lot of issues have been resolved. Thanks.

Hi Sara,

Like the new features. Quick side point, the "last logged in" feature seems to provide the wrong formatted date. When you go into edit profile, it's reading the date correctly (2nd April for me at the minute), but on the profile page it's showing the 4th Feb - taking my DD/MM format and showing as MM/DD - not an issue really for me, but suggests it needs a quick look at!

I like the new design, but the 'crop photo' feature does not allow proper cropping, it forces the cropping outline to a square format, even though the viewer is not. You either end up with 'zoomed' pix or have to retian the black bars the system forces on you.

Is it just me that can not find the Add Friends button?

is it possible to make the message exchange between user simpler?

In most cases I do not need someone to be my friend to ask a question

And vice versa.

Thank you
