In community posts, you can use hashtags to mention products in the message body. These product mentions then appear as hyperlinks and take users to a Product Page in the community. Watch this:
Behind the scenes, a product mention creates a product association between a product and the message in which the product is referenced.
We love how the product has an associated image. This makes me feel such joy (yep, geek!)
You can use this feature on discussion boards or documents. There is a 'hint' at the bottom of the Document Body too, just to serve as a reminder.
The product feature is a relatively new enhancement to our Qlik Community. We hope you like it !
Today, the Qlik Community Team rolled out new rank names to our community in Phase 1 of an update to the Gamification system. You can read more about the project goals in this blog post.
As part of the project, Qlik Community members received new rank names as well as new rank images. The names were applied automatically as part of the launch effort. There is nothing for you to do. The new rank names are as follows:
The rank names were created so as to be universally understood and easy to understand. I'd like to thank the Qlik Community MVPs for their feedback and Qlik's Brand and Creative Services Team for designing the new images.
To move from one rank to the next requires a progression in the level of your activity on our community. We do not share the algorithm used behind the scenes. What we can tell you is that we measure activity based on: Likes, Replies, Solutions, and Topics started. The behavior we encourage in this community is members helping other members. As was the case with the prior ranking system, roman numeral progression between ranks are utilized (eg. Creator I, Creator II, Creator III). This enables us to give credit without having members wait so long to progress to the next level.
We know and understand there is SO much more we can do with gamification. This is only the beginning. Please be sure to read the blog post so that you can review and understand all the details.
See you online!

Two years after the re-platforming and relaunch of our Qlik Community we have successfully completed the roll out of many design improvements. The changes offer an updated look and feel and improved user experience. Starting in late 2020 the Qlik Community began on a 3-phase redesign effort as follows:
Phase 1 - New creative assets - sitewide update to banners and inside pages
Phase 2 - New Home Page, Unified Search and new Top Level page
Phase 3 - New creative assets for blogs and groups and resources page
We hope that you enjoy the updates and welcome your thoughts and feedback, as always.
See you online,
Melissa Potvin
Director, Qlik Community
