Qlik Cloud apps thumbnail's size is not limited and this could lead to undesired behaviours if such is not taken into account when adding the thumbnails to your apps.
Such undesired behaviour could be end users facing slowness when navigating trough the Catalog or the Home section.
The bigger is the size of your thumbnail on the app the longer it will take to be loaded, this could be easily seen in the Developer tools of the browser as below:
It is strongly recommended to use such images as optimized as possible ensure end users performance when navigations trough such sections.
The main contributor on the loading time of an app thumbnail will be its size (e.g 5B vs 5MB) resulting in different range of times.
What is the default user session timeout for Qlik Sense Business and Qlik Sense Enterprise SaaS? Can the session timeout for Qlik Cloud be changed?
The default (fixed) value is set to 30 minutes. This is controlled by SESSION_TTL.
It is not currently possible to adjust the session timeouts in the Qlik Cloud.
A multi-cloud deployment allows you to distribute Qlik Sense apps to the cloud for consumption. You can set up your deployment to connect Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows to Qlik Cloud. For more information on multi-cloud deployments, see: Multi-cloud deployments to Qlik Cloud
In these multi-cloud environments, Qlik Cloud can be considered an expansion of the Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows platform, whereas all app development is carried out on the client-managed platform, and the apps can be made available for further consumption in Qlik Cloud.
Any additional editing (modifications of the Data Model) or duplication of the distributed apps is not possible directly on Qlik Cloud and needs to be carried out in Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows.
Limited options are available on the Qlik Cloud hub for apps distributed from a client-managed platform:
In this article, we outline the ideal workflow used when distributing apps.
If you want to instead fully migrate an app to Qlik Cloud and make them available for modifications, then the app needs to be manually uploaded to the hub. Alternatively, we offer an automated option using the Qlik-cli (see the app import command).

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
By default, the hub will show you all content available to you. This includes apps, charts, data, notes, and links. To begin filtering;
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:
This concludes the basics of navigating the Qlik Sense hub and how to interact with visualisations.

This video will demonstrate how to use Qlik-CLI for SaaS to migrate Apps from your on-premises Qlik Sense environment to your Qlik Sense SaaS edition. Qlik-CLI makes it possible for scripting and automating App migration.
Note: These instructions apply to Qlik Cloud. Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows functions similarly. See How To Edit Published Qlik Sense Apps on Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows.
Qlik Cloud offers two different spaces to work in. Shared Spaces and Managed Spaces. Apps previously published to a Managed Space e cannot be edited in place, and they will need to be replaced by an app modified on a personal or shared space.
This article covers publishing to both. For additional information on the available space types, see Working in spaces.
Apps are not published to Shared Spaces. They are moved to or uploaded to them. Apps in shared spaces can therefore be edited freely by anyone that has the correct permissions, like any other unpublished app. Please, check Developing and sharing apps with shared spaces on the help site.
Apps cannot be edited directly in managed spaces. The developer will have to modify the original app which is present in their own personal space, or in a shared space. The app is always left in its original place when the app gets published: the publishing process will make a copy of the app, and keep the original where it was.
If the original app was deleted at some stage, a published app can be unpublished using the REST API. The developer will then be able to edit the unpublished app.
If the system cannot identify a connection (for instance, if the modified app was actually redeveloped from scratch) you will need to manually the space and the exact name of the published app and prompt to replace the app.
Can QlikView Object Migration for Cloud connect through a proxy?
There is currently no support in the bookmark migration tool for a proxy. Make sure to set an exclusion allowing direct connection on port 443 to Qlik Cloud.
You can upload QlikView applications (.qvw files) to your Qlik Sense SaaS hub.
Uploaded apps cannot exceed 1 GB in size. If you are licensed for expanded apps, you can upload apps up to 2 GB in size. If you are licensed for dedicated capacity, you can upload apps up to 10 GB in size.

Qlik Sense Business and Qlik Sense Enterprise SaaS are two editions of Qlik Sense SaaS solutions that have different user management and licensing features.
The differences between the two editions of Qlik Sense stem from the fact that Qlik Sense Enterprise SaaS allows bring-your-own-IdP (BYOIDP) which ties in with a different license and access allocation model.
The licensing, access assignment and IdP configuration distinctions are mentioned under Administering Qlik Sense along with information on how to subscribe and configure either of these two services.
If you are looking to increase seats in your tenant (add licenses), see How to add new seats on existing Qlik Sense Business Subscription.
Qlik Sense Enterprise SaaS allows for using an already existing identity provider (IdP) when setting up your deployment. You can also choose to use the Qlik Account. In Qlik Sense Business, you can only use Qlik Account.
For information on different Identity Providers available and our requirements, see Managing identity providers and Setting up identity providers.
*NOTE: Qlik Support and Site Reliability Engineering do not have access to configuration options available to the tenant admin. Additionally, we will not be able to easily identify the original admin. Please make sure you have this information before attempting recovery or making changes.
