At Qlik, we continually look for ways to improve the user experience and make it easier for you and your organization to make data-driven decisions and take action. Feedback from customers like you combined with technology from our 2020 Knarr Analytics acquisition drove the features of Simplified Authoring, which include:
Assets Panel: Classifies field types and, when fields are expanded, shows values; also displays master items (dimensions and measures), which can be selected for your chart or visualization.
Properties Panel: Includes a Data area; Autochart, which provides more than 30 visualization choices; allows you to include or exclude dimension values by ticking boxes; and Presentation area, where you can choose sorting, coloring, labeling, styling, tooltips, and axis options.
SmartGrid: Acts as a placeholder for your visualizations, which automatically adjusts the size, so they fit within your sheet. You can easily add charts by clicking on “+” to the right and below the grid.
Data Table: Explore your data and inspect fields and values from tables loaded within Qlik Sense SaaS. Make selections within the table to pinpoint areas of interest and analysis.
