Key Highlights
- Refreshed App Settings Design
The app-settings area has been refurbished with a more modern layout and tabbed navigation between categories of settings.
Why this matters:
- Saves time when configuring apps
- Helps with onboarding and reducing configuration errors
- Improvements to the Sheet Editing Experience
Several usability upgrades have landed in the sheet-edit experience:
- The source table viewer and filters now appear directly from the sheet edit view, so you can see data tables and fields in-context.
- Filters have been added to the properties panel, making building and applying filters to visualizations faster.
Why this matters: - Makes authoring apps more intuitive and reduces back-and-forth between data manager and sheet view
- Helps streamline development, speeding time to insight
- New Straight Table — Now the Default
The new straight table object has graduated and is now included under the chart section as the default table visual. The older table object remains accessible in the asset panel for now and its eventual deprecation will be announced well in advance.
Why this matters:
- The new straight table has enhanced usability (such as improved selection, sorting, performance)
- Encourages migration to the newer, better-supported table, ahead of eventual deprecation
- New Visual Enhancements & Chart Capabilities
Some powerful visual upgrades arrived in this release:
- Indent row setting in the new pivot table: For the new pivot table object, you can now choose “indent row dimensions” for a more compact view (ideal for text-heavy tables)
- Pivot table indicators: The new pivot table also supports icons and colors based on thresholds, enabling quick visual cues on measures.
- Shapes in bar and combo charts: Building on the success of shapes in line charts, you can now add shapes to bar and combo charts, enriching context and visual data literacy.
- Line chart shapes improved: For line charts, labels and symbols (size, color, placement) are now available in the shape options.
- Org chart now supports images & new styling: The org-chart object can now include an image via URL and enhanced styling settings making hierarchy charts look sharper.
- Map chart stability enhancements: Map charts now use a local webmap rather than one from Qlik’s servers resulting in faster load times and improved stability.
Why this matters: - These visual enhancements offer more expressive, compelling dashboards and reduce friction for authors
- Stability enhancements (e.g., for maps) reduce risk of user-experience issues in production
- Removal of Deprecated Objects
With this release, we are updating our announcement from our Qlik Sense May 2025 release regarding the roadmap for removing deprecated visualization objects. The following deprecated charts are now scheduled to be removed from the Qlik Analytics distribution in May 2027.
- Bar & area
- Bullet chart (old one)
- Heatmap chart
- Button for navigation
- Share button
- Show/hide container
- Container (old one)
