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!

@AlexOmetis "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" 

This ultimately doesn't make it any better as I have to click again to close the menu. If it's sticky, I lose a lot of important space. Since I don't want to focus on navigation, I want to focus on content. And navigation should just be a simple add-on to help me navigate the dashboards (like a simple navigation each website have in place)...

I realize Qlik has provided the toggle switch to ease into the new design, but I really wish we could get notice of changes coming.  Does Qlik give any notice of new releases and the content of the release?

Few feedback points about the new navigation:

  1. Why do we have the sheet menu on the right but actual sheets on the left ?
  2. I cant qlik on Qlik icon anymore to go to the hub- why was that changed ? What is the alternate option ?
  3. I can't go to the 'Sheet' directly from the load script-- have to select from the dropdown (unless I am missing something)

Does everybody collectively think this is a good thing? I loved the ease of the megamenu dropdown in being able to quickly navigate around. Was this a problem for other people where they felt like it needed redoing? (I am genuinely interested in the answer to that question). This update adds (in best case) one extra click to do the same thing I was able to do before, or (in the worst case) five extra clicks, including a scroll. Even in the best case where I click "Assets" and it is already on the "Sheets" tab, I have this *tiny* little expand button I have to click right on to grow it to the size of the original dropdown megamenu. Since when has adding clicks generated a better user experience? Listen, I get that the name of the tool is "Qlik", so I guess the name wouldn't fit unless the only way to use the tool was to *click* excessively (which is one gripe I have with the tool anyway, but that's a different post - in general it is redeemed by its vast capabilities). My final question is, is there any chance I will ever be given an option to get the old Sheets dropdown megamenu back?
