Qlik Sense 2.2 - It just keeps getting better and better

[Michael_Tarallo]

What?!?! Another release? Come on!

I thought this year's Superbowl ads were creative, but Puppy, Monkey, Baby was definitely something to see, but...this is even better.

Seriously, welcome to the Qlik Community and thank you for taking a brief moment to learn what's new in Qlik Sense 2.2.

We’ve done it again! Qlik Sense 2.2
Powerful enhancements for both business users and developers

In the past year and a half, we have continued to deliver product innovation at an impressive cadence. Delivering true decision support system and business intelligence software with our platform approach...yep, it's more than just a tool.

By keeping our promise to deliver three new releases every year, Qlik has proven it’s ability to deliver as an organization thereby ensuring that our customers have continuous access to an ever increasing set of capabilities.  It is important to recognize however that these new capabilities extend well beyond what most people see in the product.  At Qlik, we are just as committed to delivering value to the developer community as we are to business users.

Delivering capability for both the end user and the developer is critical to support our platform approach.  This is because enabling one shared common platform that supports all business intelligence and analytics use cases (click to watch) is the key to seeing the whole story that lives in your data. Not only are we innovating faster than ever but our extensive open APIs ensure that others can innovate right along with us thereby multiplying the power of the platform approach.

Qlik Sense 2.2 enables business users to more freely prepare and explore data, and provides developers new, powerful tools for building custom applications and extending Qlik Sense. 

Here are some of the highlights:

• Advanced data preparation
  • automatic date handling, calculated fields, and a newly redesigned data manager
    
• Alternate dimensions and measures
  • user can swap measures and dimensions int he same chart to answer many questions
    
• Powerful new developer APIs and capabilities
  • new app integration API
  • visualization API for programmatic creation of analytics
  • new integrated developer environment (IDE) plugin for Visual Studio
    
• Expanded printing and exporting capabilities for stories and charts to PowerPoint, .PDF, and Excel
• Numerous user experience and enterprise management improvements

Hi,

it happend that the Qlik Sense objects/visualizations were modified by e.g. using Bootstrap resp. Bootstrap styles were influenced/changed by Qlik Sense' style sheets. This doesn't happen anymore.

Please stay tuned, I'll publish a more detailed article within the next days.

Regards

Stefan
