Toggle Sheet Header and Toolbar On and Off

Show MoreThere have been many new capabilities that give developers ways to customize and style an app. In this blog, I will review how the sheet header and toolbar can be toggled on and off and the benefits of each, as well as things to consider. The sheet header and the toolbar both appear at the top of an app. The sheet header, outlined below in yellow, includes the name of the sheet, an optional logo or image, and previous and next sheet navigation arrows.
The toolbar is the row above the sheet header. It includes buttons and links to Notes, Insight Advisor, selections tool, bookmarks, sheets and edit sheet.
The toggle for the sheet header and toolbar can be found in the app options section of an app. Open app options by clicking on the arrow next to the app name at the top center of the app. From there, click on the App options icon on the right.
Once the app options are open, you will find the toggles for Show toolbar and Show sheet header.
One of the main benefits of removing the sheet header and toolbar is to gain more space on the sheet. The space that is used by the sheet header and toolbar become area that developers can use for additional filter panes and/or visualizations. Another benefit is developers can add custom capabilities to replace the Qlik Sense defaults. For example, a developer may want to create their own navigation buttons and have more control over the options that are available to the user. If the sheet(s) are being used to create a PowerPoint presentation, removing the sheet header and toolbar makes the presentation look more polished.
Now let’s discuss some things to consider when removing the sheet header. If the sheet header is removed, alternative sheet navigation should be provided for the user. It is possible to use your keyboard to navigate the sheets, but many people do not know that so custom navigation should be created by the developer using buttons or links. In the image below, buttons are used.
In the image below, buttons are used again but the highlighted button indicates the sheet the user is on. So, in this example, the developer has replaced the sheet navigation and the sheet title that was included in the removed sheet header.
A sheet title can also be added to a sheet using a Text & image object. The custom navigation can be designed to match a theme or company brand which gives the developer a lot of flexibility and can give a company’s apps a consistence look and feel.
When the toolbar is toggled off, features are hidden but they are not removed from the app entirely. This is great but not all users may be aware of alternative ways to access the features on the toolbar, so it is important to keep this in mind. For example, users can still create notes for a visualization or view notes for a visualization by right-clicking on a chart, selecting the eclipse (…) and then selecting Notes. Another example is users can still access bookmarks or the sheets in an app via the App Overview. Users can still ask questions via Insight Advisor, so not functionality is loss with the removal of the toolbar. Other things to consider is that while selections can still be made via filter panes and visualizations, without the selection bar, users may not be aware that selections have been made. This is why the developer needs to make sure there are filter panes or some way for users to know what has been selected. When it comes to selections, buttons can also be used to perform actions such as clearing selections and making selections in a field.
The overall goal is not to make things harder for the user so knowing possible issues and designing for them is smart. While there are benefits in toggling off the sheet header and/or toolbar, developers must consider how this may impact their users and how their users will use the app. The user experience can be just as good with the sheet header and toolbar toggled off if the developer plans well for an intuitive user experience.
Thanks,
Jennell

- August 2022 Patch 12
All prior versions of Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows are affected, including releases such as May 2022, February 2022, and earlier. While no patches are currently listed for these versions, Qlik is actively investigating the possibility of patching older releases.
No workarounds can be provided. Customers should upgrade Qlik Sense Enterprise for Windows to a version containing fixes for these issues. August 2023 IR released today already contains the fix.
- August 2023 Initial Release
- May 2023 Patch 4
- February 2023 Patch 8
- November 2022 Patch 11
- August 2022 Patch 13
This issue only impacts Qlik Sense Enterprise for Windows. Other Qlik products including Qlik Cloud and QlikView are NOT impacted.

The information in this post and Security Bulletin Critical Security fixes for Qlik Sense Enterprise for Windows (CVE-2023-41266, CVE-2023-41265) are disclosed in accordance with our published Security and Vulnerability Policy.
Clarifications and Frequently Asked Questions:
What can be done to mitigate the issue?
No mitigation can be provided. An upgrade should be performed at the earliest. As per Qlik's best practices, the proxy should not be exposed to the public internet, which reduces the attack surface significantly.
What authentication methods are affected?
All authentication methods are affected.
Are environments with HTTP disabled impacted?
Environments will be affected regardless if HTTP or HTTPS are in use. These vulnerabilities affect the HTTP protocol overall, meaning even if HTTP is disabled, the environment remains vulnerable.
These attacks don’t rely on intercepting any communication, and therefore, are indifferent whether the HTTP communication is encrypted or not.

Show MoreThese are the two technologies that are changing how humans work and interact with computers and create content. Understanding what they are is key to understanding the impact they might have on your future career, since you may well be expected to use and interact with these technologies once you enter the workplace. According to World Economic Forum research, while AI could displace jobs it could potentially create up to 97 million jobs in fields ranging from big data and information security to digital marketing. As AI becomes more integrated into business practices there will also be a much higher demand for AI support roles, according to a McKinsey Report. In 2022, 39% of businesses reported hiring software engineers, and 35% hired data engineers for AI-related positions. It's clear that the use of AI in job roles could become the norm, therefore an understanding of how these technologies work will become a necessity.
Data science central have put together this useful guide for understanding the differences between conversational AI and generative AI. Key points are below, but to read the full article follow this link - A complete guide: Conversational AI vs. generative AI
User experience & human interaction
Conversational AI believes in meaningful conversations. Thus, provides quick, direct, crisp, and relevant answers. Generative AI does not engage directly but contributes to user experience by coming up with useful content like blogs, music, and visual art.
What does the future hold?
The trend we observe for conversational AI is more natural and context-aware interactions with emotional connections. Generative AI’s future is dependent on generating various forms of content like scripts to digitally advance context.
Use cases:
• Conversational AI is used in industries like healthcare, finance, and e-commerce where personalized assistance is provided to customers.
• Generative AI is mostly applied to creative domains like content creation, entertainment, design, etc.

Show MoreAs one creates QlikView applications one sometimes encounters a data modeling problem where a dimensional attribute varies over time. It could be that a salesperson changes department or a product is reclassified to belong to another class of products.
This problem is called Slowly Changing Dimensions and is a challenge for any Business Intelligence tool. Creating an application with static dimensions is simple enough, but when a salesperson is transferred from one department to another, you will have to ask yourself how you want this change to be reflected in your application. Should you use the current department for all transactions? Or should you try to attribute each transaction to the proper department?
First of all, a changed attribute must be recorded in a way that the historical information is preserved. If the old value is overwritten by the new attribute value, there is of course nothing QlikView can do to save the situation:
In such a case, the new attribute value will be used also for the old transactions and sales numbers will in some cases be attributed to the wrong department.
However, if the changes have been recorded in a way so that historical data persists, then QlikView can show the changes very well. Normally, historical data are stored by adding a new record in the database for each new situation, with a change date that defines the beginning of the validity period.
In the salesperson example, you may in such a case have four tables that need to be linked correctly: A transaction table, a dynamic salesperson dimension with the intervals and the corresponding departments, a static salesperson dimension and a department dimension. To link these tables, you need to match the transaction date against the intervals defined in the dynamic salesperson dimension.
This is an intervalmatch. The solution is to create a bridge table between the transaction table and the dimension tables. And it should be the only link between them. This means that the link from the transaction table to the bridge table should be a composite key consisting of the salesperson ID (in the picture called SPID) and the transaction date.
It also means that the next link, the one from the bridge table to the dimension tables, should be a key that points to a specific salesperson interval, e.g. a composite key consisting of the salesperson ID and the beginning and end of the interval. Finally, the salesperson ID should only exist in the dimension tables and must hence be removed from the transaction table.
In most cases of slowly changing dimensions, a salesperson (or product, customer, etc.) can only belong to one department (or product group, region, etc.) at a time. In other words, the relationship between salesperson and interval is a many-to-one relationship. If so, you can store the interval key directly in the transaction table to simplify the data model, e.g. by joining the bridge table onto the transaction table.
A word of caution: If a salesperson belongs to several departments at the same time, such a join may cause QlikView to make incorrect calculations. Bottom line: Double-check before you join.
For a more elaborate description of Slowly Changing Dimensions and some script examples, see the technical brief IntervalMatch and Slowly Changing Dimensions.

If you are using the recovery login URL to access your tenant regularly, we recommend you use the standard login URL for your tenant (https://<tenant name>.<region>.qlikcloud.com/login) instead. You cannot access the tenant through the recovery login after October 10, 2023.

Data Cleaning in Qlik Sense

Show MoreEver found yourself stuck with a messy pile of data that seems more like a labyrinth than a pathway to clean insights? You're not alone. Today, we're diving into the world of data cleaning in Qlik Sense to help you uncover the analytical potential hiding behind your data.
The Importance of Data Cleaning:
Imagine you're baking a cake. Would you eyeball the measurements of your ingredients? Probably not, unless you fancy a disaster cake. Just like one poorly measured cup of flour can ruin your entire recipe, a small data error can throw off your whole analysis. That's why, before you dive into the fun part—data analysis—you've got to make sure your key ingredient (data) is as clean and precise as possible.
Why Data Cleaning is More than Just a Chore:
It's not just about tidying up; it's about quality control. Skipped steps or overlooked errors can lead to inaccurate results that could misinform your business decisions.
Data Accuracy:
The accuracy of your analytics depends heavily on your data's quality. Data cleaning helps to weed out errors and inconsistencies, ensuring your insights are both trustworthy and actionable. Tools like mapping tables or functions like SubField can be invaluable in this stage.Data Consistency:
Inconsistent data formats or naming conventions can be a real roadblock. Qlik Sense offers features like the SubField function and mapping tables to help you standardize data for consistent reporting and visualization.Data Integration:
When you're integrating data from various sources, alignment is crucial. Qlik Sense provides numerous functions that help in aligning these disparate datasets into a cohesive, unified form.Enhanced Visualization and Performance:
Clean data doesn't just make your visualizations more meaningful; it also enhances the performance of your Qlik applications. Expect faster data retrieval and more efficient analysis when your data is in good shape.Data Cleaning techniques in Qlik Sense:
Duplicates removal:
Duplicate records can distort your analysis and reporting. Qlik offers built-in functions like Keep when loading tables or the DISTINCT keyword in your script to load only unique rows.Missing values:
You can address missing values by removing records or filling in gaps based on specific criteria. Functions like IsNull, IsNullCount, and NullAsValue come in handy.Data formatting:
Using the numerous string functions available in Qlik Sense, you can standardize data values to a consistent format. For example, the Upper, Lower, Date, and Num functions can be used to unify text or dates.Data manipulation:
Sometimes the data you import into Qlik Sense doesn’t exactly fit your needs. Qlik offers ways to reshape your data accordingly.
For instance inconsistent field values can often occur when pulling data from multiple tables and this inconsistency can disrupt the connections between data sets. An efficient solution to this is to use Mapping tables.Mapping Tables:
These types of tables behave differently than other tables in that they are stored in a separate area of the memory and are strictly used as mapping tables when the script is run, they are then automatically dropped.
Let’s take a look at how to do this and the different statements and functions that can be used:
- MAPPING prefix
This is used to create a mapping table. For instance:
CountryMap: MAPPING LOAD * INLINE [ Country, NewCountry U.S.A., US U.S., US United States, US United States of America, US ];Keep in mind that a mapping table must have two columns, the first containing the comparison values and the second contains the desired mapping values.
- ApplyMap()
The ApplyMap function is used to replace data in a field based on a previously created Mapping Table.
CountryMap: MAPPING LOAD * INLINE [ Country, NewCountry U.S.A., US U.S., US United States, US United States of America, US ]; Data: LOAD ID, Name, ApplyMap('CountryMap', Country) as Country, Code FROM [lib://DataFiles/Data.xlsx] (ooxml, embedded labels, table is Sheet1);The first parameter in ApplyMap is the Mapping Table name in quotes. The second parameter is the field containing the data that needs to be mapped.
You can add a third parameter to the ApplyMap function that serves as a default to handle cases when the value doesn’t match one in the Mapping Table.
For instance:
ApplyMap('CountryMap', Country, 'Rest of the world') As Countryafter mapping:
- MapSubstring()
The MapSubstring function is used to map parts of a field, this can be used as an alternative to Replace() or PurgeChar() functions.
For instance, let’s clean up these phone number values from unwanted characters:
ReplaceMap: MAPPING LOAD * INLINE [ char, replace ")", "" "(", "" "\"", "" "/", "" "-", "" ] (delimiter is ','); TestData: LOAD DataField as data, MapSubString('ReplaceMap', DataField) as ReplacedString INLINE [ DataField "(415)555-1234", "(415)543,4321", "“510”123-4567", "/925/999/4567" ] (delimiter is ',');after cleaning:
- MAP … USING
The Map…Using statement works differently than the ApplyMap() function in that ApplyMap does mapping every time the field name is encountered, whereas Map… Using does mapping when the values is stored under the field name in the internal table.
For instance, in the following load script, the Mapping will be applied to the Country field in Data1, however it will not be applied to Country2 field in Data2 table.
That’s because Map… USING statement is only applied to the field named Country. But in Data2, the field is stored as Country2 in the internal table.
Map Country Using CountryMap; Data1: LOAD ID, Name, Country FROM [lib://DataFiles/Data.xlsx] (ooxml, embedded labels, table is Sheet1); Data2: LOAD ID, Country as Country2 FROM [lib://DataFiles/Data.xlsx] (ooxml, embedded labels, table is Sheet1); UNMAP;Useful functions for data cleaning
- SubField()
Used to extract substrings from a string field that consists of two or more parts separated by a delimeter.
The arguments it takes are a Text (original string), a delimiter (character within the input text that devides the string into parts), and field_no that’s either 1 to return the first substring (left) or 2 to return the second substring (right))
SubField(text, delimiter, field_no)
For instance:
UserData: LOAD * INLINE [ UserID, FullName 1, "John,Doe" 2, "Jane,Doe" 3, "Alice,Wonderland" 4, "Bob,Builder" ]; CleanedData: LOAD UserID, SubField(FullName, ',', 1) as FirstName, SubField(FullName, ',', 2) as LastName RESIDENT UserData; Drop Table UserData;- Len()
Returns the length of the input string - Left()
Returns a string of the first (left) characters of the input string, where the number of characters is determined by the second parameter.
Left(text, count) - Right()
Similar to left, it returns a string of the last (rightmost) characters of the input string. The second parameter determines the number of characters to be returned. - Index()
The index function searches a string and returns the starting position of the nth occurrence of a provided substring.
For instance:
Index(‘qwerty’, ‘ty’) will return 5
Index(‘qwertywy’, ‘w’, 2) will return the second occurrence of ‘w’, i.e: 7
Example 1:
Using a combination of the functions above to clean up a field. Let’s take a more complex field and try to extract the first name and last name.UserData: LOAD * INLINE [ UserID, Object 1, "37642UI101John.Doe" 2, "98322UI101Jane.Doe" 3, "45432UI101Alice.Wonderland" 4, "32642UI101Bob.Builder" ]; CleanedData: LOAD UserID, SubField(Right(Object, Len(Object) - Index(Object, 'UI101') - 4), '.', 1) as FirstName, SubField(Right(Object, Len(Object) - Index(Object, 'UI101') - 4), '.', 2) as LastName RESIDENT UserData; Drop Table UserData;after cleaning:
Example 2:
Cleaning HTML in a fieldParagraphs: LOAD * INLINE [ Paragraph_ID, Paragraph 1, "<p>This is a <strong>paragraph</strong>.</p><br><p>This is another <em>paragraph</em>.</p>" ]; // Loop through each paragrpah in the Paragraphs table For vRow = 1 to NoOfRows('Paragraphs') Let vID = Peek('Paragraph_ID', vRow-1, 'Paragraphs'); // Get the ID of the next record to parse Let vtext = Peek('Paragraph', vRow-1, 'Paragraphs'); // Get the original paragraph of the next record // Loop through each paragraph in place Do While len(TextBetween(vtext, '<', '>')) > 0 vtext = Replace(vtext, '<br>', chr(10)); // Replace line breaks with carriage returns - improves legibility vtext = Replace(vtext, '<' & TextBetween(vtext, '<', '>') & '>', ''); // Find groups with <> and replace them with '' Loop; // Store the cleaned paragraphs into a temporary table Temp: Load $(vID) as Paragraph_ID, '$(vtext)' as cleanParagraph AutoGenerate 1; Next vRow; // Join the cleaned paragraphs back into the original Paragraphs table Left Join (Paragraphs) Load * Resident Temp; // Drop the temporary table Drop Table Temp;after cleaning:
