Using Qlik from a mobile device, especially with the free desktop version, has some considerations. Here's how you can work with Qlik on your iPad and potentially use it offline:
-
Qlik Mobile Compatibility: Qlik Sense Mobile, the mobile app for Qlik, is designed primarily for Qlik Sense Enterprise, which is the paid version. It may not offer full functionality with the free desktop version. You may want to check if there are any limitations with the free version regarding mobile usage.
-
Offline Usage: Qlik Sense Mobile does allow for offline usage, but it typically requires Qlik Sense Enterprise with the "Offline Mode" feature. With Offline Mode, you can download apps and data to your mobile device, making it accessible even without an internet connection. For Qlik Desktop users, this feature might not be available.
-
Qlik Visualization: To present your data on an iPad, it's essential to create your visualizations in Qlik Desktop and save the Qlik Sense app or Qlik Sense visualization in a format that is compatible with Qlik Sense Mobile. However, the ability to use Qlik Sense Mobile with Qlik Desktop files may be limited.
-
Map Visualization: If you plan to plot a map with markers and data points, you can do this in Qlik Sense by creating a map visualization. You would typically use Qlik's built-in map functionality, and there are several mapping extensions available for enhanced features. Ensure that your data source is set up correctly to create a meaningful map.
In summary, while it's possible to use Qlik on a mobile device like an iPad, the extent of functionality and offline capability may depend on the version you are using (e.g., free desktop vs. Qlik Sense Enterprise) and the specific features available in your setup. It's a good idea to explore the capabilities of your Qlik Desktop version and check with Qlik's official resources or support for guidance on mobile usage.
