Welcome to Getting started with the Qlik Sense Cloud Hub and how to interact with an app. In this article, we'll cover the basics of how to navigate the Qlik Sense Cloud Hub and how to interact with the data provided in an app.

The example App used in the video and article (Beginner's Tutorial) can be downloaded from the Qlik Help site.

Tutorial - Beginning with the Basics 

 

Opening the Qlik Sense Hub

 

  1. You access the Qlik Sense SaaS hub through your tenant URL. Example: Tenantname.eu.qlikcloud.com.
  2. Once successfully logged in, the hub will be presented:

    Note that you can customize your home view, but we will focus on opening apps and navigating an app in this article. 

 

Filter on the Hub and find your App

 

By default, the hub will show you all content available to you. This includes apps, charts, data, notes, and links. To begin filtering;

  1. Click Catalog
  2. Choose from Spaces available to you.

  3. Open a space. In our example, we select Managed Spaces (available in Qlik Sense Enterprise on SaaS).

  4.  Filter the space by using the Filters available in the top menu, or Search content. 

    You can also sort by Last modifiedLast created, or in Alphabetical order, and switch between List view and Tile View.

    The filters allow you to filter by Types (Apps, Charts, Data, Notes, Links) and Owners.

  5. Open your App

 

Navigating the App

 

  1. The app will display a list of sheets available to you in the Public sheets section and My sheets section. 

    Right-clicking on sheets shows a number of options available to you (depending on your permission) level. Such as Make privateCopyPaste, and Duplicate. 

    Note that in this article, we will not cover creating, copying, or customizing sheets.

  2. Open a sheet (we will open the Dashboard sheet in our example.)
  3. You can navigate between sheets from inside an active sheet by either using the sheets menu or the navigational arrows to page forward and back.

  4. Return to the App overview from the top-right menu.

  5. Return to the Hub by clicking on the Qlik Logo

Making selections

 

When you make selections, the colors of the values change accordingly. The characteristic Qlik Sense colors are green, white, and gray, and they represent the basic states: selected, possible, and excluded. To learn more about selections and their different states, see Selection states.

Depending on the visualisation used, different selection methods can be used, such as Click selection, Draw selection, Range selection, Lasso selection, Legend selection, and Label selection. For more information on each selection method available, see Make Selections.

Let's test some selections:

  1. We select 2014 from a Filter Pane and Japan from the Pie Chart and then confirm by clicking the green checkmark. 

    This will select Sales Per Region in the Year 2014

  2.  The Selections Toolbar allows you to remove, edit, and step through (forward and back) your selections. 

    For more information see Exploring with selections and the Learning Material Searching & Selecting Data.

  3. Another way to select and explore data is to use the Smart Search available in the Selections Toolbar.

    Smart search is the global search tool in Qlik Sense, enabling you to search the entire data set in your app from any sheet in the app. 

    For more information, see Using smart search and the Learning Material Searching & Selecting Data.

This concludes the basics of navigating the Qlik Sense hub and how to interact with visualisations.
