Could we have the option in the Download Screen to allow a end user to cycle through the different values in a dimension and batch downloads, in any of the three export formats. It would be great to do the same and allow for an export of the whole sheet as .jpg/.pdf, again cycling through dimension values.
It would ideally appear as a dropdown to select the dimension or field from the data model. I've highlight where this would ideally appear in the screenshot attached.
Appreciate this overlaps with N-Printing/Qlik Reporting Service but providing this to the end user would give so much versatility and really unlock a lot of value for them, rather than "batch reporting" being seen as something external to Qlik or centrally run.
We would like to see the ability to automatically have metadata like app name, object name and current selections added to a header or footer when exports are done in Qlik Cloud for both Qlik Sense and QlikView apps.
This was really useful in QlikView but has been missed by us and our users in Qlik Cloud.
In the November 2022 release in the 'App Overview' a logo of Qlik was introduced.
It also functions as 'Back-to-Home' which is the 'Hub'.
Completely unnecessary.
We know the product is from Qlik already.
Please remove it.
Hi Guys,
Will be useful having extended searching capabilities on the search tool in Qlik Sense HUB.
for example using combination of words,
having the ability to combine wildcards ("*", etc.).
Also having the ability to search by stream including getting the search result by stream if asking of it.
Aldo.
Nprinting is a great product for pixel perfect reporting, this is a functionallity that many customers still want to use, reporting services is a poor tool for reporting, so the idea is to make nprinting available for Qlik SaaS or maybe a bridge between Qlik SaaS and NPrinting OnPremise.
Thanks
For Qlik Replicate with SAP IQ as a target, currently we have transactional mode and batch mode. Transactional mode will not work against SAP IQ as it does not handle OLTP workloads. Batch mode is better for SAP IQ but does not give transactional integrity
This does the following
Begin tran
Delete table a
Commit tran
Begin tran
Insert table a
Commit tran
Begin tran
Update table a
Commit tran
Begin tran
Delete table b
Commit tran
Begin tran
Insert table b
Commit tran
Begin tran
Update table b
Commit tran
Begin tran
Etc
Commit tran
We’d like to raise an ideation to create a new mode “Transactional Integrity Batch Mode”
This will do the following
Begin tran
Delete table a
Insert table a
Update table a
Delete table b
Insert table b
Update table b
Etc

Hello, we have some apps whit many sheets and different kind of data to analyze with many variations by periods, departments, etc...
We use an excel to manage expressions and we use a variable for each measure, this allows for quick massive searchs and modifications and also we can share measures between different apps centralizing management. So at the end some of our apps have more than 1000 variables
Now in Qlik cloud there is a limit when exporting data: the process looks if the app has more than 1100 variables, and it blocks the export data if there are more than 1100 variables. Why this happens? I don't see why the user can't export the data of a line chart if the app has more than 1100 variables.
So I hope to change this limitation to not affect all exports and only apply the limit when it really can cause an issue, or change the export function to not be affected by the variables loaded in the app so the limitation can be removed completely.
Please provide some feedback on this because some of customers can't migrate their apps to Qlik cloud, or if this limitation will be kept, so we will need to schedule some reingeneering of the apps, which will be costly in time, money and loss of management options.
Best regards.
When I have data like the below and try to visualize the data in a Bar chart, Qlik Sense will show either Server A if I choose not to Include Zero Values in Data Handling, or it will show Servers A,B, C if I choose to include Zero Values. I should have the option to exclude nulls but include zeros, as right now I will either have a list with many Servers like C populating the chart, or I will miss the 0% which is very important to show.
Server | Base Hours | Downtime | Uptime % |
A | 24 | 12 | 50% |
B | 24 | 24 | 0% |
C | 0 | 0 | - |
The only way to achieve this now is to use an aggregation on dimension level, which is very bad for performance. Vizlib bar chart or other BI tools competitive to Qlik will automatically exclude the null values and leave the 0%, so I would expect Qlik to be able to handle this situation easily, without using aggregations. Ideally, there should be a check box in each visualization to include / exlude nulls and one check box to include / exclude zeros.
For data sources that are not Direct query, I can download the data from the table chart into Excel.
However, when using Direct Query to connect to Snowflake and create a table chart, the data download menu does not appear. The ability to download data to Excel is also required when using Direct Query.
Give the ability to monitor in the hub any visual objects (mostly relevant for Vizlib) and not just Qlik native
currently Qlik publish a list of objects that can't be monitored in the hub here - https://help.qlik.com/en-US/cloud-services/Subsystems/Hub/Content/Sense_Hub/Hub/monitor-charts-hub.htm#:~:text=You%20can%20monitor%20visualizations%20in,sheets%20and%20from%20Insight%20Advisor
Hello everyone!
As it was suggested to me in this post, I wanted to propose the possibility to generate editable text in Powerpoint reports created with automations in Qlik Saas.
As I discovered, when we export a sheet with a text object into Powerpoint (through automations or subscriptions), the text objects becomes an image and so it's not possible to modify it from Powerpoint (see this post).
I believe having such feature would be really helpful for users (imagine when you want to leave a 'comment/notes' area in your presentation).
At this time I would consider only editable text objects, but let me know if you can see such feature also for other charts
Regards,
Enrico
Currently the only way to change the scheduling of the Qlik Replicate LogFileCleanLogs process is through exporting the repository, editing the file, and reimporting. This process has a risk of corruption associated to it. The current schedule of 5 minute runs fill up the server log far to quickly with log info for us. There should be a command that can change the parameter through the repctl process.
Hello,
It's 2022, and I was wondering if Qlik Sense can implement moveable windows. For instance, when you choose to create or modify an expression, the Expression Editor window takes up the entire screen. Developers should be able to resize or move the window to see what's behind it, to remind them what KPI they are revising, or what measure they are modifying. Or, when you start a Load Script run, move the window so you can see the actual Load Script and make sure you didn't forget to change something before running the load. This can save the developer a lot of time.
Thanks in advance,
Chris
We’d like to request a feature that provide a simple method to calculate a row checksum for change files.
When using QR to produce change files into a file based target (e.g. GCP GCS, AWS S3, file system), we’d like each row of data to have the last column as a check sum for that row. After we ingest the data into a database target (e.g. our datawarehouse) we would like to calculate the checksum on the ingested row (minus the QR provided checksum) and then compare them to validate that we ingested exactly the same data as what was contained in the source file.
This helps us evidence to regulators that no only did we ingest the correct number of rows (as provided by the DFM file), but we can also guarantee that the data is exactly the same at a column level.
e.g. If we have a comments column in a table that contains special characters or unusual sequences such as : “The customer Bradford Holders ™ is interacting with ‘’ \n its parent company 读写汉字 - 学中文
That we can test that the ingestion process didn’t lose or inadvertently transform any of that data. E.g. In this case maybe on ingestion it looks like ““The customer Bradford Holders is interacting with its parent company” perhaps gets truncated at the \n
So we are looking for the most efficient way to validate the integrity of the ingested data.
The ideal would be for QR to support a single function to append a row checksum without having to specify every column
eg.
hash_sha256(cast(column1 as varchar) || cast(column2 as varchar) || cast(column3 as varchar) || cast(columnx as varchar))
but we haven’t found a way to do that in the docs we’ve read.
Hello,
The default Home view is quite overwhelming for a new user.
It is possible to clean it up manually by clicking on Customize your home and removing all the panels that we don’t want to show on the HOME.
Although if we could push a customized home to show only FAVORITES for all users, I think this would help make it much more accessible.
So the Home would look something like this when they first access the cloud. The users can Customize it to whatever view they want once they get more familiar with the Qlik Cloud.
Best regards
Possiblity to copy and paste the whole script section between apps would be very convenient in development process.
I often need to test a part of the script, but it is usually in multiple sections - app has 1000+ lines of code in 12 sections and I need to take 4 to a separate app, run tests, fine-tune them, and transfer them back. Section name could be used to evaluate, if the section should be added or replaced.
Further improvements could be:

Business Case:
Presently in BQ tasks project id is provided as part of JSON file. Once JSON file is validated, then it will be masked. As such it is not possible to know about the project id the task is associated in BQ.
Also, in our environment downstream applications uses project id as one of the key parameters to identify tasks for providing information about health of Tasks and other information associating with BQ project.
By having the projectid independently in GUI and through api, association of tasks and BQ project will easy, and helps other downstream applications.

When a replicate task restarts the target tables will get dropped and recreated or truncated -- depending on the settings.
I suggest there be an option to run a SQL script before and after this point.
When the tables are recreated by Replicate, new columns are brought over (which is great) but we lost post-creation settings such as compression.
Truncating tables is an answer to that issue of course, but does not allow us to bring over new columns.
Having the ability to run a custom SQL script would give us the option to include post-create changes.
