Hello Qlik Community members,
I am hoping you can assist with, clarify and shed some light for me in what I am about to ask.
Background & Information
For about a year we have been an on demand customer of using QlikView with a partner. Recently we have now made a decision to purchase the application and setup the infrastructure environment in house on premise.
With that said, we have a set number of users who can attend the following QlikView training:
Server Publisher (I refere to this as QlikView Administrator/System Administrator)
Designer
Developer
NPrinting
In my organization, we are mostly business users. I am a little techie due to my desktop support/junior system administrator role. The list of individuals considered to go to training from my organization are: VP, Director, Manager, Another Manager, 5 analysts.
Issue
So i have learned quite a bit now about the training courses above and made my initial recommendations to my manager. However, the request is what are the skills encompasses by the individuals who normally fill the roles in the courses identified.
I was able to locate some nice information and populated the below however, need assistance with distinguishing designer with developer. I know the designer course is a pre-requisite to developer but not sure what skills i would identify here. Also, need help with Administrator and Nprinting.
FYI - i have recommended the VP, Director, 2 managers, 2 analysts receive designer training only and the other 3 analysts receive all of the above.
Thank you in advance for any help you can provide. I need help with the yellow.
