Take a look at Qlik Sense June 2017

[Michael_Tarallo]

Hey guys! - I'm very excited to introduce you to our latest release of Qlik Sense, June 2017. Yep - no version number or dots in this naming convention. With the announcement of our continuous release process discussed here, Qlik will begin releasing Qlik Sense every 10 weeks!  Since each release will be similar in scope, we are also replacing our number-based naming convention with releases identified by the month and year they were distributed.  This means that instead of Qlik Sense 4.0, our June release is simply called Qlik Sense June 2017.  (Most other Qlik products will also follow a similar cadence going forward as well.)

Currently customers and partners are invited to Join the Technical Preview and can get the latest software here. If you are not a customer or partner, our freemium product, Qlik Sense Desktop - will be available later in the month (UPDATE: available NOW here: Download Free Data Visualization Development Platform - don't forget you can always experience newer features before the software is available (such as the new data preparation features) without downloading any software by registering with Qlik Sense Cloud, thanks to our continuous release process.

There is so much goodness in this release that I don't want to create a giant text wall telling you about it. I created a brief summary video for your enjoyment as well as longer videos detailing and demonstrating the new features. You can view them at the video index below which include video files and samples. Please note that additional information on our Advanced Analytics integration is available in this community group Advanced Analytics Extensions and requires permission. Please send an email to mailto:insight@qlik.com to gain access. I am in the middle of working on a brief summary and "Hello World"-type video to demonstrate its concepts.

We want to hear from you, so please your comments and questions below!

Hi Jefferey - the product is not GA yet - just the technical preview is available at the moment - I believe it will go GA later this month and that is when all the doc will be updated. I believe there have been some API updates - but only the release notes will have that information.

Hi Michael,

Thanks for doing a great job at keeping us updated.  I saw you had mentioned  above that you believe it will go GA later this month.  Is there a risk the release could push in to July?  I have a few teams in my company that are eager for the latest release.  Would like to properly set their expectations on when we can deliver it to them.

Got it, thanks Michael.

Hi Mike,

Even if it is possible right now to create Waterfall charts (I have created mine already), this is a most wanted chart for financial people in the company I work for. Right now it is an artisan's work to create them. I was expecting this chart for this release , I only hope Qlik Sense can get them soon.
I would have preferred the Waterfall instead of the Histogram.Histograms -as your videos show- can be created easily with bar charts. Anyway... That is my comment.
BTW, I love the enhanced upgrade to the colour management. When does the font management come?
Cheers,

Demian

Hi Thomas - as it stands not - we are on target last I heard. I believe the only thing that might change is the Qlik Sense Offline Mobile app might be available later in July vs originally with the June 2017 release.

Hi Demian - thanks for your comment - I will check with our visualization officer plu‌ to see what he has to say about Waterfall charts. Font management is something that may be handled with our new theme capability - Patrik might also be able to add some color to this (ha! pun intended).

Thanks, Mike. Much appreciated. Looking forward to use more the new release and starting to hope again for those waterfall charts for next release

[Patrik_Lundblad]

Waterfall is most likely soon, very soon

As a user of waterfall, what are your expectations on it? Feel free to drop me a mail at plu@qlik.com and I'll make sure to check it with our requirements so we haven't missed anything.

Font depends on if it's font size or type. Size will come before type as we need to handle how to specify what to do when the font is missing.

Hi Michael,

Does this mean we can expect the drop this week? We're running out of June in a hurry!

Thanks for all of your great work!
