So in QlikView we used to have a QVW that creates library of QVDs in a folder. My question is what are we planning to do in Qlik Sense? What will become our new best practices?
My answers currently are (And please challenge me and write your method):
Hi Magnus,
Many thanks for your reply. It's very informative indeed.
I just want some clarification for containers. Could you please explain containers in detail? And if you have any examples for containers, I would really appreciate if I could have a look at it.
Many thanks
Hi, please join the Qlik Deployment Framework community group, here we have content and videos regarding QDF and containers. Qlik Deployment Framework
Best regards

The organization I work for uses a separate stream for ETL QVFs oddly enough called ETL. We have a QVF for extract which builds QVDs and a QVF for transform which uses the extract QVDs to build the QVDs we use in our production QVFs.
Hi Torben,
I recently posted two items of potential relevance to your question; I hope you find them useful:

Thanks Magnus.. It was very helpful.
Michael,
You guys do a great job at Qlik. I have a question in this regard as well.
The documentation suggests that Synthetic Keys are bad and a Star Schema should be achieved all the time. At least, that's what the wording alludes to. The problem is that most of my users (I work for a Large INSURANCE company) don't have any Data Modeling skills.
They've been building great reports using QlikSense but unfortunately their apps are getting rejected by I.T. because of synthetic keys.
Their major gripe is that if a tool is advertised as a Self Service solution, it's should be more accommodating to minor "transgressions" in Data Modeling.
There is an aggressive debate going on between Business and IT. Is there any way Qlik can point to an official documentation that says synthetic keys are O.K but not circular references?
This'll be a major drag factor IMO for Qlik in the near future.
Please let me know if you can help.
P.S - Some of the sample apps in QS Desktop have synthetic keys.
