Introducing Pages in Qlik Cloud (Public Preview)

[Marcus_Tannerfalk]

If you curate content for your Qlik Cloud users, this one's for you. We're introducing free-form, canvas-based pages in the activity centers, so you can build landing experiences that fit your users' needs, rather than being limited to horizontal swimlanes of collections in the current home pages.
This is one of the features going through our Public Preview program. Your feedback will help shape the experience as we move toward general availability. See "How to activate it" below to get started.

What's new

• Canvas-based layout: Place and size content freely on an open canvas when curating a page
• Bring in Qlik monitoring charts so that analytics can sit directly on your landing page.
• A flexible set of widgets: Charts, rich text, and lists or collections.
• Multiple pages: Create pages for the entire tenant, a specific group, or your personal use, all based on space permissions.
• Across the activity centers: Available in Insights, Analytics, and Data Integration.

Page creation and visibility are governed by permissions, including a scope for private pages that aligns with the Private Analytics Content Creator role. See [Managing page permissions] for the full picture.

How to activate it

Feature previews must first be enabled for your tenant, and your tenant admin needs to grant you access via the Feature previews permission. If you don't see Feature previews in your profile, check with your tenant admin.
Once you have access, go to your User profile > Feature previews and activate the ["Operational dashboards"] preview feature. From there you can switch between the free-form page and the classic swimlane home at any time. See [Feature previews] for details on how the program works.

What to focus on when experimenting

We're especially interested in hearing about:

• Whether the canvas and widget set let you build the landing experiences you have in mind, particularly for operational, day-to-day monitoring
• How pages hold up with real content on them, especially pages with several embedded charts
• Whether the templates match the users you curate for, and what's missing
• How pages feel on tablet and mobile
• Anything that feels different from the swimlane home you're used to, even small things

A couple of things we already know

• Public-monitored charts: not supported for applications with section access.
• When accessing pages on Mobile, device. pages are for consumption only. Creating and editing happens in Qlik Cloud in the browser
• More widgets are coming, please provide your feedback for what you'd like to see.

How to share feedback

Use the in-product feedback button, either in the Feature previews dialog or when clicking on the "Preview" badge on the page.

We built this because a landing page should reflect the work your users do, not the layout we happened to ship. Try it out, tell us how it feels, and help us make it better
