QlikProductUpdates

Everything you need to know about the new user experience across Qlik Cloud Analytics and Qlik Talend Cloud. 

Welcome to a new world where you always know where to go.

Today, users will navigate a smoother journey across our entire Qlik Cloud platform, unifying both Qlik Cloud Analytics and Qlik Talend Cloud. We have balanced aesthetics with functionality to create an experience that is both visually appealing and highly usable. Let's take a look…

The waffle menu is your navigation anchor

Meet the new top-left "waffle" menu, your consistent navigation anchor throughout Qlik Cloud. This feature enhances findability by offering easy access to your "recent" assets, ensuring you always know where you are and where you can go next. Whether you're diving into automations or exploring AutoML, the waffle menu is always within reach.

An Activity Center tailored for your tasks

Our new Activity Centers are now more activity and goal-driven, providing creators with upgraded tools and a comprehensive capabilities page. This streamlined space is designed to help you understand and optimize your efficiency without the clutter of unnecessary buttons.

***Please note that these Activity Center navigation updates can be toggled on or off for two months, until the beginning of September, giving your organization the necessary time to become familiar with and aware of the new design.

Customizable sheet navigation

Navigating through numerous sheets in an app can be daunting. Our improved sheet navigation allows you to organize sheets into groups, making it easier to manage and publish them. You can now create, rename, delete, and publish groups and individual sheets, addressing one of our most requested features.

Insight Advisor chat now helps without disruption

We've redesigned the Insight Advisor chat to improve usability, allowing you to get help without leaving your current context. This update makes it easier to author analyses and boosts awareness and usage of chat and search features as we roll out even more NLP capabilities.

Improved search functionality

Finding content has never been easier with our significantly upgraded search functionality. This enhancement streamlines the process of navigating and locating the assets you need, saving you time and effort.

Expanded Catalog and public collections

Our Catalog now supports a wider range of asset types, catering to both analytics and insight-seeking users. You can add these assets to public collections or a custom tenant-wide home page in the Insights Activity Center, with options like public monitored charts (coming soon) and links to sheets.

New panel design and sheet grouping

The side panel design consolidates sheets, bookmarks, and more into one place, offering various size options and better content organization. Additionally, the new sheet grouping feature simplifies navigation for apps with many sheets and allows for bulk publishing, enhancing both private and public sheet management.

The redesigned Data Integration ‘Home

***Coming soon

Soon, we'll début a new Data Integration 'Home'. We've taken the best of both worlds, combining the previous 'Getting Started' and 'Home' pages into a single, cohesive destination. It's like having your favorite coffee shop and office rolled into one - everything you need, right where you want it. As you grow from novice to expert, you can customize your view, hiding the 'Getting Started' section when you're ready. But don't worry, this page will always remain your launchpad for all things Data Integration.

With quick access to your recent work and important notifications front and center, this is one 'Home' improvement you won't want to miss!

@Or "As ever - when are the relevant features coming to Enterprise / Client Managed? In particular the improvements to sheet navigation?"

The sheet navigation is coming most likely in the next client managed release (November 2024).

Thanks,

@Patric_Nordstrom Thanks. Our users have been clamoring for this one, so that definitely deserves an upgrade.

Maybe it also make's sense to share some concerns about the new in-app navigation 

"Starting the day without the knowlgende that something changed in direction of user experience / usability shouldn't end up in a desater. Unfortunately it did because a lot of our colleagues complained about the Navigation that they can't find their bookmarks/notes anymore."

Usability / User Experience?

  • Switch to a specific sheet
    • Now: Click on Assets | Click on Sheet location | Select Sheet
    • Before: Clock on Sheets | Select Sheet
  • Switch to a specific bookmark
    • Now: Click on Assets | Click on Bookmarks | Click on Bookmark location | Select bookmark
    • Before: Click on Bookmarks | Select Bookmark
  • Create a Bookmark
    • Now: Click on Assets | Click on Bookmarks | Click on "Own bookmarks" | Create
    • bookmark
    • Before: Click on Bookmark | Create bookmark
  • Performance in showing Sheets (we've upto 200 community sheets) quite slow compared to the old solution
  • Notes section have a complete different look & feel compared to sheets/bookmarks

 

Ultimately the new solution leads to a lot of Qlik/Click Ops compaired to the past. Just want to mention that useful functionalty like sorting in bookmarks/sheets are still missing.

I would also like to mention that good navigation is characterized by intuitiveness and not the frustration of where can I find x, y, z and doing a lot of click click click...

@Tom_MB Yes, I think there is still some room for improvement from a UX perspective.

Just to note a few things though that I've found/heard:

  • The Assets panel remembers where you were up to - e.g. if you went Assets > Sheets before, then the next time you click there, it will show Sheets straight away
  • You can pin the Asset panel and then collapse the detail (sheets/bookmark/etc) view by clicking on it again if you wish. Personally, I'd like to be able to pin the high-level menu and have the detail view pop over the content. 
  • There's a custom navigation extension on the way that will allow a lot more flexibility around design & display.
