Qlik and Qlik Cloud are always innovating, adding new features to make the user experience even better. Today I would like to tell you about Qlik’s newest feature: Templates. Templates are a new feature in Qlik Cloud that prompts the user when creating a new sheet.
To use Templates, go into any Qlik Cloud app and click on ‘sheets’ then ‘Create new sheet’.
There you will be greeted with the new Templates feature. Please know that if you do not wish to see this screen when you are creating a new sheet, you can simply uncheck the box next to ‘Show when creating a sheet’.
The Templates feature is broken down into a few different categories to help navigate the feature. The vast number of Templates available can seem a bit overwhelming, but if you find a template that you find yourself using often, you can click on the star next to it to add it to your ‘Favorites’.
Additionally, if you would like the freedom to create your own sheet, without a template, you can simply select the ‘Empty sheet’ option.
Using a template is easy!
Let’s take a look at one of the templates from the Highlights section ‘Charts with filters on the side’. With just the click of a button, my new sheet with the various placeholders for my charts has been created.
From here I can begin creating my sheet. As we can see, charts have been added to the sheet, including a Straight table at the bottom, KPIs at the top, and Bar charts in the middle with our Filter Panes to the side. Of course, I have the freedom to add, delete and change these charts as I see fit.
Then we add a bit of color and add a bit of spacing.
And we have a finished sheet! Of course there is still so much more we could do with this sheet to customize it to our needs, but it’s a start!
There are so many templates that you can use to help create your sheets. Take a look at new Template feature and drop which template you think will be most useful. Thank you for reading!
