Hi there,

It would be great to have an in-house email server within Qlik SaaS.

Despite setting up Qlik SaaS in January 2023, we are encountering many issues, having to look into third party tools such as: MailChimp and Amazon SES to set this up. As there is no options for OAuth authentication, our internal IT team is reluctant to look into basic authentication as it is deprecated by Microsoft, which Qlik SaaS needs to also consider to look into different authentication processes here.

Here are some reasons why it would be beneficial to have an in-house email server SMTP server in Qlik SaaS:

1. Data Security: By having an in-house email server, Qlik SaaS can have better control over data security. They can implement robust security measures, such as encryption, access controls, and regular backups, to protect sensitive information exchanged through emails. This reduces the risk of data breaches and unauthorised access.

2. Privacy and Compliance: Hosting an email server in-house allows Qlik SaaS to adhere to specific privacy and compliance requirements more effectively. They can ensure that data is stored and managed in accordance with relevant regulations, such as GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation), HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act), or industry-specific standards.

3. Customisation and Integration: An in-house email server offers greater flexibility for customisation and integration with other systems. Qlik SaaS can tailor the email server to meet their specific business needs, integrate it with their existing infrastructure, and implement custom features or workflows. This level of control can enhance productivity and streamline communication processes.

4. Performance and Reliability: With an in-house email server, Qlik SaaS can optimise performance and ensure reliable email delivery. They have full control over the server's hardware, network configuration, and software, allowing them to fine-tune performance parameters and monitor the server's health closely. This reduces the risk of email delays, downtime, or other performance issues.

5. Reliance on Third Party Software: Instead of relying on third-party email service providers and paying recurring subscription fees, Qlik SaaS can leverage their own infrastructure to manage email communication, potentially resulting in cost savings over time for Qlik SaaS customers.

6. Seamless Integration with Internal Systems: An in-house email server can be seamlessly integrated with other internal systems and applications used by Qlik SaaS. For example, we can integrate email data with their customer relationship management (CRM) system, help desk software, or analytics platforms. This integration allows for better data synchronisation and workflow automation, leading to improved efficiency and customer experience.

7. Flexibility and Scalability: With an in-house email server, Qlik SaaS has the flexibility to scale their email infrastructure based on their evolving needs. As their user base grows, they can easily add more server resources or upgrade hardware to accommodate the increased email traffic. This scalability ensures that the email service remains responsive and reliable even during periods of high demand.

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.

Hello,

I watch the video about Business Glossary which will be available next week.

We can link a term to an app, and it's a good thing.

But it will be amazing to link a term to a master item !

The definition of a measure could be displayed in the information menu of chart with the lineage.

Regards,

Paul

Within Qlik Application Automation we can drag and drop blocks to basically build workflows.

Let's say you want to move 2 lines of blocks it would be great if you can just select both of them move the lines of blocks to the location you want  or selecting multiple blocks to delete those blocks.

Right now we have to click the the top block of a line and drag this around or when we want to delete a line of blocks we have to individually delete the blocks. When developing it can be very annoying if you need to delete/move multiple blocks at once.

This change would speed up building/testing/developing an automation.

Proposed Idea screenshot:

Would it be possible to have a Masteritem submenu on the right's editor expression (like variable). It would be easier to select a masteritem instead of to script them.

Thanks

It'd be great to be able to colour the words in a wordcloud by another KPI.

For example, it's fine being able to see that something is the most commonly mentioned word, but if it's always the most common word, it'd be even better to see that it's green - meaning it has been mentioned more times than a previous month. It could highlight in blue if it had never been in the top X mentions before. Alternatively, you could colour it by another dimension (red for common in USA, blue for Europe, etc).

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 would like to have the ability to have access to the sheets logs analysis , in order to be able to identify the access frequency to sheets by user

this feature was already available in Qlik sense enterprise version

When setting charts' appearance with colour by the expression, the legend is hidden and the corresponding options in property manual is disabled.

Charts affected: Bar chart,  Combo Chart, Gauge, Line Chart, Pie Chart, Scatter plot

Customers have requested for this feature to be revisited and for legends to be enabled when the expression is a color code.

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

As platform owner and developer, I want to add thumbnails not only to apps, but also to other artifacts (such as automations, external links etc.). This is especially beneficial, when it comes to external links. 

Here a preview allows for easier identification of the content and creates a more customized and user friendly UI.

Make it possible to change the dimension name with in filter pane! It would be so awesome if this will be possible in future as it will help a lot in combination with multi language.

Currently it's restricted to the dim. name in the data model. This forces problems in combination with multi language (e.g. creating island table or separate apps...)

Idea:

- Make it possible to use "Filter title" as Dimension name within the filter pane

- Make it possible to use "Master Dim title" as Dimension name within the filter pane

Thanks

Tom

Hi,

One feature that is obviously lacking from Qlik SaaS is the ability to connect to data sources that do not have a supported connector and are only available via ODBC.

ONe way aroudn this problem is to run Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows (QSEoW) or Qlik Data Transfer (QDT) to connect to these sources to extract and store the required data as QVD data files and then push them to SaaS via QDT.

With the arrival of the Qlik Data Gateway (QDG) we now have support for on-prem data sources that do have a supported connector however QDT/QSEoW and QDG cannot co-exist o nthe same server so we would need to have both a server running QSEoW/QDT and a separate server running QDG if we need to connect to some on-prem data sources that have supported connectors and some that do not.

Can ODBC Data Source access via QDG be enabled preventing the need for two separate servers for this use case.

The Google Analytics Web Connector is currently only compatible for the Google Universal Analytics (UA). GA4 is due to replace the current version of Google Analytics (Universal Analytics or UA) in June 2023. More and more customers are now migrating to GA4. The GA4 comes with a new API (Google Analytics Data API). It would be great if the web connector becomes compatible for this new API, or that a new web connector is created. 

Hi, 

a lot of users asked us if there is the possibility of monitoring users' sessions on Qlik Sense SaaS apps.

I checked all the monitoring apps that exists for SaaS, but none of them monitor who access which application and for how long.

For starters, we'd just need an easy way to check which users access an application in a certain range of time.

When a user is on vacation for a few weeks, or retires, or is fired, or passes away - the tenant admin and analytics admin should be able to change the ownership of this users app. They can do this easily for Shared Spaces.
However - in Managed Spaces, no one can change the app owner at all. Not even the tenant admin.

This is a huge gap in functionality.

The only way to change this is via CLI script.

If the app is used in mashups or embedded iframes, or if the link has been publicized via links on websites, the app if and object ids need to stay the same.

Please correct this gap in functionality and give the admin users a way to do this easily in the Console. 

I would like to see the Qlikview INPUTSUM() function added to Qlik Sense (Enterprise). This function gives end users the possibility to enter values on a row level in a straight table. This value can be used to make calculations in the same table.

See below for a printscreen (print screen used as created in the community post by @eederleelefon_gt in this post: https://community.qlik.com/t5/App-Development/InputField-and-InputSum-in-QlikSense/td-p/43151 ).

When using a Pivot table with several levels, one can "right-click" on the level and use the option "expand/collapse All". This option does not allow to expand the single level.

Customers want to be able to expand a level "expand next level" and keep others collapsed. 

This Idea was recorded as a copy of an old idea in the previous ideation system. It was again requested by a customer. 

Hello all,

Just watched the video here : https://community.qlik.com/t5/Product-Innovation/Eliminate-Data-Misunderstandings-with-a-Business-Glossary-Now/ba-p/2038431

Pretty cool but as usual for the nicest features, it's only available on cloud while all my customers use QSEOW on premise so that's highly frustrating.

Best regards,

Simon
