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 Qlik Community is now on a newer version of the platform which has some great enhancements to improve user experience as well as fixes for some minor bugs.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

Like and Share(used to be on left hand side)  is no longer available.

Maybe is just on my mobile phone but the public profile is very much scrambled and does not show much information

Really?

The date is borked, possibly due to putting the dd/mm/yyyy values into USian format - mm/dd/yyyy

Hello Robert,

Thanks for your question on 'Friending'. The newer version of the platform refers to it as 'Following' rather than 'Friending'. From what I have been able to gather the behaviour is more accurately described as following and it also allows for a broader use of this behaviour- people, content, places etc can be followed can display in feeds based off your preference. If you visit a persons profile page you can choose to follow them on the right side just below their profile image.

You can also view and then sort through your connections from the middle of your profile page by clicking on the corresponding title.

Let me know if you need additional assistance locating it. Its embedded functionality so not likely we would be able to change the title or categorization. I hope this helps to address your question.

Best Regards, Sara

Sara,

Would it be possible to address the fact that we repeatedly get approval messages for old, previously-approved content? It's making it hard to use the Notifications section.

Thanks Sara.

Could we as not getting email about points assigned to a different user:

Example:

If I participated in a post, I'm getting notification(email) that points(Helpful/Correct)  has been assigned regardless if I got these points or not.

And please bring the option to share content on Facebook/LinkedIn/Twitter.....
