Mmm ... QS... Again ... Maybe here they will give a clear answer whether you plan to develop QV or it’s already a dinosaur and you don’t have to pay for support because it makes no sense?

Our company is just annoying. We pay money for nothing, no development. All new in QS, QS, QS ... We just want to have an understanding of what is happening and simply will not pay.

We are not going to switch to QS, this is not discussed, thank.

Like it has been for the last years, all features in Sense.
QlikView is maintained and only development is regarding management of larger installations.

Thank you for taking the time to comment. QlikView is our classic or 2^nd generation BI solution and it plays an important part in Qlik's portfolio. We are committed to additional investment to ensure it continues to meet the expanding requirements for scalability that global organizations require. We look forward to adding more QlikView capabilities to our Qlik multi-cloud hub, supporting QlikView and Qlik Sense co-existence.

Traditionally, we've had a single QlikView release per year, in November. This year, we released QlikView April 2019 and plan to have a November 2019 release as well. Going forward, you can expect to see a synchronized approach to QlikView and Qlik Sense releases, and we will offer patching for each QlikView upgrade, as opposed to a full install. We recommend you join the Qlik Insider webinar in November for the release updates. And, please keep an eye on the Product Innovation Blog for the latest product news.

Great to hear that Qlik is still invested in Qlikview as well. Most of that seems to be on the back-end of the tool. Could you tell us about the plans regarding the front-end? It's been a while since we have gotten new bells and whistles on that side to work with.

Important issue which has not been well-clarified in the notes:

When opening an app, it is no longer possible to land on the App Overview screen if a default bookmark is applied.

Quite disappointing and a roadblock to installing September 2019 as far as I'm concerned since it's a major behavior change. Hopefully this will be addressed in a patch - it's as simple as allowing bookmark creation from the App Overview (in which case you would always return to that).

Hi Or, It appears you have the choice to use a bookmark or default landing sheet. Setting a default bookmark to create an app landing page You can select a sheet to be the landing page of your app by setting a default bookmark. When you open the app, the layout state and the selection state of the default bookmark are used. If you do not set a default bookmark, the app overview is displayed when the app is opened.

Or · ‎2019-10-07

@Bill_BrittThat is correct as per the information I got in the beta testing thread as well. Unfortunately, neither choice achieves the required result - I would like users to land on the App Overview (which is the Qlik Sense default) regardless of whether or not default selections are applied using a default bookmark. This is how Qlik Sense has always behaved and obviously changing that without providing a workaround is an issue. It's also not clarified well in the release notes that the new default bookmark causes this behavior to change (as phrased in my post above in bold), meaning this will likely catch your customers by surprise when it happens.

As I've already suggested, this could (easily?) be handled by allowing bookmarks to be created from the App Overview page. That way, developers can control whether or not the user lands in a specific sheet or on the app overview, and it would have the added bonus of allowing the same level of control for non-default-applied bookmarks. This in turn bypasses the existing limitation where a bookmark ALWAYS takes you to a specific sheet, which is undesirable in some use cases (in particular, when users are trained to use the default bookmark to return to the starting state, and are taken to a sheet unexpectedly).

I appreciate that Qlik wants bookmarks to behave consistently regardless of whether or not they are the default bookmark, but I think in this case, they completely missed the fact that this change causes inconsistent behavior between apps that use default bookmarks and apps that do not. I'm hoping this is something that can and will be corrected soon.

Hi,

I upgraded our QlikSense testserver (singlenode) from April 2019 release to the September 2019 release. For previous releases apps were automatically migrated to the new release. Now I see that all my apps have a Migration Status of Unmigrated.

The help page says apps will be migrated when they are opened in the hub. But that doesn't happen either.

Is this a bug? Or do I do something wrong?

kind regards,

Ton de Vries

I'm seeing the same behaviour after upgrading to September 2019. Looks like a bug to me.

I had same experience. Manually migrating all apps from QMC worked without issues.
