Qlik Cloud Analytics customers can now easily include highly formatted tabular or PixelPerfect reports in their automations with two new blocks:
Get PixelPerfect Report
Get Tabular Report
Report developers can create highly formatted report templates to achieve stakeholder analytics presentation requirements. Using these new blocks, automation developers can then easily configure report production from a target Qlik Sense app, using selection states to produce a report output that can be used in the business process definition.
Need to know
Passing selections for the report
To control the data reduction, bookmark Id’s can be referenced in the block definition. The common practice would be to create a temp bookmark using the Select Field Value and Create Bookmark blocks.
Be sure to specify in the report block the same type of bookmark as specified in the Create Bookmark block.
Move report with Create Binary File Block
The recommended practice would be to use the Create Binary File block using the output of the report block.
Copy report with Copy To block
A Copy To block can also be used, but note that the file name returned from the reporting services will always be a GUID with a “:” in the file name. The file should be renamed as part of the move to the target channel.
