Hi and Welcome to Qlik Fix

This video will demonstrate how to create a new app in Qlik Cloud

First, login to your Qlik Cloud, and select your tenant.

Logging in will redirect you to the tenant hub, on the home tab.

To create an app, click on the Add New button at the top.

Select New Analytics App.

Enter a name, select the space.

A description and tags can also be added to help organize your apps.

Clicking on Create with this box checked will automatically open the app.

First, you need to add some data.

You can go directly into the data load editor;

create some new connections by dropping files here

or browsing through the many available connectors here and create new data connections;

Or You can immediately tap into existing data connections with the Data Catalog,

I’ll narrow this list of datasets by the space

here are some files I’ve already uploaded;

I’ll load all of these into the app.

Next is the Data Manager,

This is where connections between tables can be created.

You can see that Qlik is providing some recommended associations automatically based on the data. I agree with that analysis and select Apply All.

The tables are connected

 And then press the Load Data button to load this data into memory.

Now there are some options for adding to this sheet.

I can explore the data a bit more and get some suggested insights using Insight Advisor.

I can ask some questions using natural language, or just start using the authoring tool.

All of the loaded fields and master items are on the left.

And I’m already able to apply selections to the data.

The data in the tables is previewed below.

I can expand this and select a different table.

Clear selections

And start to create a visualization by dragging and dropping fields into this new object.

I have the option to add this field as a dimension, a measure or let Qlik offer a suggestion.

It’s suggesting to make that a measure – Sum of Sales.

I’ll add another field to that, and see the suggestion update.

Now it’s a map.

Showing the sum of sales by country.

There are a lot of font styling options here as well.

I’ll use Arial for the title.

And I can easily start a new chart

I’ll choose Sales and Category.

It’s suggesting a bar chart, but I can play around and try out different chart types.

And there are a lot more option available by toggling the Advanced options here as well.

I think I’ll make this a pie chart.

When done, just click on the Edit Sheet button to leave edit mode.

And there’s my app.

Thanks for watching.
