/*In the comments below, indicate what features you want the most*/

All,
I am creating this thread to gauge what features that we require in QlikSense for future releases.
I'll keep updating this thread periodically so we can have one consolidated list.
List of features:
1. Exporting Master Library of Dimension / Measures - Including all Metadata like colors / date created/ date modified.
@ Qlik - This is very useful for version control as multiple apps in the Org share same KPIs and Dimensions, it becomes easy for developers to re-use and maintain.
1.1 Organizing Master Item list in 'Folders'
@Qlik - Being able to categorize the Master item list is pretty useful.
1.2 Ability to re-use Master measures within expression editor. (10/01/2018)
2. More shortcuts for developers - Like CTRL + R, CTRL + ALT + V etc.
3. Slider, Input Box, Dropdown (for Single select)
@Qlik - These may seem trivial but they're very useful, esp. in financial reporting. My team had to let go of a project because these features aren't available on QlikCloud platform.
4. Sizeable Expression editor
@Qlik - This is pretty handy when the developers want to look at how the expression evaluates to. Currently the expression editor dialog box takes the whole screen and there's no easy way for developers to check the working of expression.
5. Variable dialog box should have a search / export option. Export option should fetch the metadata like Date created / Date modified and Tags, Description.
@Qlik - This is extremely useful when you have a large set of variables. My app has over 1200 variables and currently there's no easy way to search for a particular variable. Giving the ability to export the variable data would save lot of time for developers as it can be used for QCing the data.
5.1 Variables itself should have checkboxes.
@Qlik -Checkboxes allow multiple variables to be deleted at once.
6. Tags created by developer should be made SEARCHABLE by developer / admin
7. 'Extend sheet' option has a faint scroll bar. Harder to spot.
8. Bookmarks should have the option to be shared with other users.
9. Comparative Analysis should be made a standard feature. (10/01/2018 - Now available)
10. Trendlines should be available as a standard option.
@Qlik - Eg. Linear, Moving average, Polynomial, Exponential etc. Currently it involves a tedious process of using linest and aggr functions to achieve this.
11. Better tooltips - Including charts, KPIs etc.
12. Table headings should have formatting options like Bold / Italic / Coloring/ Wrapping etc.
12.1 A 'where clause' in straight table.
@Qlik - 'Dimension limit' option exists in QS but if more than one dimension exists, all other dimensions should be limited for this feature to actually work. This becomes complex when multiple measures exist as well. The best solution is to have a global condition for a straight table. For e.g. if I have sales, profits, cost and 10 other dimensions, I could have a single condition to restrict rows.
Say, Sum(Sales) < 1000. This would only show the records for all possible combinations of Dimensions and Measures that have sales less than 1000.
An if clause could be used inside an expression to achieve this but it's clunky.
13. New Visualizations
@Qlik -
1. Mini charts in Tables
2. Sankey chart
3. Trellis chart
4. Candlestick chart (For Financial trading)
5. Gantt chart (For operational flow)
6. Calendar selection object
7. Violin Plot

8. Bullet Graph
9. Parallel Coordinates Plot (Pretty cool)

10. Coxcomb Chart

14. Folders in QlikSense Desktop
14.1 Also, 'Folders' - within - an app overview to group sheets together. Removes clutter.
15. Alerts in QlikSense (May require integration with QMC)
@Qlik - Say for example, the sales fall below 10,000$, there should be an alert sent to all the users via an e-mail.
16. Sheet level Access - Conditional show / hide of sheets.
@Qlik - This is super useful to show and hide sheets. Some of the requirements are such that certain visualizations should be 'hidden' for some users. This'll allow the developer to do that instead of going through a tedious process in the QMC.
17. Ability to search for fields in a TableViewer.
18. Scramble data in QlikSense.
@Qlik - While demoing apps to Sales people it's often best to obfuscate the data inside the app. QlikView has this feature which is super useful.
19. Folder Connection Pop-up should have a search option to lookup for specific files. Also helps if the Pop-up is larger
@Qlik - It would be really useful to have a search option in the folder connections pop-up. This would allow folks to search for a specific file. Currently if a folder has a lot of files, the user is limited to scrolling wearily to the bottom to select a file. Also, if the Pop-up window were larger, it will be helpful to spot a specific file.
