Visualizations & Dashboards
- Developers now have more control of a sheet’s appearance to better guide users for a more desirable and easy to use interface. With Distinguishable Sheet Style Titling, a sheet’s background color and gradient for its titles will help users to tell the difference between public, private, and community sheets. By default, the background is transparent.
- Chart level scripting is a powerful new feature that allows users to modify the dynamic data set behind a chart using Qlik scripting language, with techniques such as variables and loops. Rows and columns can be added or modified that were not in the original data set. With the ability to edit HyperCube modifiers within visualizations, this enables calculations that have previously not been possible in chart expressions, such as simulations, goal seeking, etc.
- A react styling panel is now available that will include general and chart specific styling options, allowing for more settings and visual fluidity when editing your bar and pie charts. More charts will follow in future releases to assist in increasing the ease of use for developers across other available chart objects as well.
Connectivity
- You can now enjoy more of the same data connections already in Qlik Cloud with the addition of support for the Office 365 SharePoint Metadata Connector. Two new tables are now included within the connector - ‘Views’ and ‘ItemsFromList’. Now having access to Sharepoint lists and views will enhance team’s ability for collaboration and tracking within Qlik Sense.
- Also, since our standalone web connectors will be deprecated, the following (4) new connectors will now become available as part of the installed versions of Qlik Windows products: GitHub, Google Analytics Connector, Jira and Twitter Connectors.
Platform
- Self-service task management capabilities have been enhanced where we have now added the ability to add, edit, and delete scheduled reload tasks from directly within the hub! This will allow users to run numerous self-service scenarios from one location at scale, both more efficiently and intuitively.
We hope you enjoy the value these new capabilities bring to your organization this August. As the summer continues to heat up, Qlik will continue to deliver capabilities you’ve been waiting for; along with some surprises.
