Hi,
I am new to Qlik Sense, can you help me to understand the below?
1) There are two ways to build dashboard 1) Using desktop 2) From Hub directly -- Which way is preferable? Pros and cons any?
2) The latest version in Nov 2017 and i am using the same for my desktop development, however latest server up-gradation is still 3.2? Will it create any problem while publishing like newly added features wont work etc?
3) For example, i built a dashboard using desktop and published, users have created their own visualization and shared to others. Later i got an enhancement and in that case do i need use latest exported copy from server or i can still do the enhancements in local copy and re-publish? In that case Does users created object go away?
What is the best way to implement enhancements?
Thanks for your help for understanding this.

Hi,
Welcome to Qlik World!
1) There are two ways to build dashboard 1) Using desktop 2) From Hub directly -- Which way is preferable? Pros and cons any?
It depends, let's say your users like to build their own ad-hoc report then centralized qliksense server hub is the best way (qlikview is Guided where as qliksense is self- service analysis so we should allow them to create their own report [ensure model should exists, logical calculated dimension / measure already added into Master item so that they can simply add any chart object using drag and drop and they can start visualizing it easily) --also note Content admin Role/equivalent custom role required (i.e: like designer role)
for the developer perspectives, always try to develop using qliksense desktop tool and then migrate into UAT/Production environment (just follow that SDLC method)
2) The latest version in Nov 2017 and i am using the same for my desktop development, however latest server up-gradation is still 3.2? Will it create any problem while publishing like newly added features wont work etc?
I would recommend you to keep both (server and desktop) in same version -->[ new feature may not work in server so always keep same version in both environment)
3) For example, i built a dashboard using desktop and published, users have created their own visualization and shared to others. Later i got an enhancement and in that case do i need use latest exported copy from server or i can still do the enhancements in local copy and re-publish? In that case Does users created object go away?
No it won't. let's say if your going to do the enhancements on users sheet then export server copy and re-publish it. or it's just your own dashboard sheet object then no need to export from server (assume that local desktop is base copy and server child copy). u use the desktop app and enhance it then import into server via QMC (here we can option to publish only specific sheet )

Hope it helps

It is very helpful. If i do any changes in master library items how can i publish that part?
Hi,
Try to define all master item/dimension one time and don't keep on changing it. note: both hub/desktop side can change it but make sure to use the latest copy in sense desktop or hub.
Thanks
