Qlik Cloud Analytics: Scheduled subscription reports creation issue January 14th...

Show MoreAn update deployed to Qlik Cloud Analytics on January 14th, 2026, impacted the creation and scheduling of end user subscriptions (see Scheduling reports with subscriptions). Any selections made (to reduce the distributed data set) before creating the subscription were not properly saved. As a result, the subscriptions are executed without any filters applied.
The upgrade has since then been reverted (January 19th).
This does not impact in-app reporting for traditional burst tasks as documented in In-app reporting with Qlik Cloud Analytics.
What action do I need to take?
Users who created subscriptions during this period (January 14th to 19th) should review their subscriptions and the selections that are stored for the subscription. If the desired data selections are not in place, then the user should remove the current subscription and add a new subscription with the desired selections in place.
To verify if a subscription has selections:
- Click the navigation menu (waffle menu)
- Go to Analytics
- Go to Subscriptions
- Select the subscription
-
In the Details tab, locate the Data field and review the subscription’s Selections
For more information on this feature, see Scheduling reports with subscriptions.
What time frame is affected?
Subscriptions created between:
- 14th of January 2026 15:47 UTC
- to 19th of January 2026 12:10 UTC

Show MoreDuring recent testing, Qlik has identified an issue that can occur after upgrading Qlik Sense on-premise to specific releases. While the upgrade completes successfully, some environments may experience problems with ODBC-based connectors after the upgrade.
The issue is upgrade path dependent and relates to connector components that are included as part of the Qlik Sense client-managed installation.
Recommendation: After upgrading Qlik Sense on-premise, verify your connector functionality as part of your post-upgrade checks, especially when upgrading from earlier Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows May 2025 releases.
How can I identify if I am affected?
The issue can typically be identified by files being missing after the upgrade. In this example, the Athena connector is not working, and the following file is missing:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Qlik\Custom Data\QvOdbcConnectorPackage\athena\lib\AthenaODBC_sb64.dll
In this example, all ODBC connectors stopped working:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Qlik\Custom Data\QvOdbcConnectorPackage\QvxLibrary.dll
With the QvxLibrary.dll missing, both existing and newly created ODBC connections will fail.
How do I resolve the issue?
A fix will be delivered in upcoming patches. Stay up to date with the most recent version by reviewing our Release Notes.
Workaround
If your connectors have been impacted by this upgrade, rollback your ODBC connector package to the previously working version based on a pre-update backup. See How to manually upgrade or downgrade the Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows ODBC Connector Packages for details.
The workaround is intended to be temporary. Apply the fixed Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows patch for your respective version as soon as it becomes available.
If you are unable to perform a rollback, please contact Support.

Show MoreThe write table was introduced to Qlik Cloud Analytics last month so in this blog post, I will review how it works and how it can be added to an app. The write table looks like the straight table but editable columns can be added to it to update or add data. The updated/added data is visible by other users of the app provided they have the correct permissions. Read more on write table permissions here. Something else to note, if using a touch screen device, is you will have to disable touch screen mode for the write table to work. Looking at the write table for the first time, I found it intuitive and easy to use. Let’s create a write table with some editable columns to see how easy it is.
The write table object can be added to a sheet like any other visualization. Once it is added, columns can be added the same way dimensions and measures are added to a straight table. Below is a small write table with course information including the course ID, course name, instructor and location.
To add an editable column from the properties panel, click on the plus sign (+) and select Editable column.
The new editable column will be added. In the properties for the column, the title for the column can be modified and from the show content drop down, manual user input or single selection can be selected. Manual user input will create a free form column that the user can type into. The single selection option will allow me to create a drop-down list of options that the user can choose from.
I will change the title to Course Level and for show content I will select single selection and add three list items by typing the list item and then clicking on the plus sign to add it to the list. The list items will be displayed in the drop-down in the order they are added but can be rearranged by hovering over the list-item and dragging it to the desired position. List-items can also be deleted by hovering over it and clicking the delete icon that appears to the left.
When you come out of edit mode, the message below will appear for the editable column prompting you to define a set of primary keys.
Once you click Define, you will see the pop-up below where you can select the column(s) that will be used for the unique primary key. This is necessary to save and map the data entered in the editable column to the data model. I will select the CourseID column as the primary key.
Once this is done, I will see the Course Level column with the drop-down of list-items I added.
Let’s add one more editable column that takes manual user unput and name it Notes.
As I add data or update the editable columns, the cells will be flagged orange to indicate that my edits have not been saved. Once I save the table, they will be flagged green and any new values entered are visible to other users. A cell will be blue if another user is currently making changes to the row, thus locking it. Changes are saved for 90 days in a change store (temporary storage location) provided by Qlik. After 90 days, the data will be deleted. It is also important to note that if an editable column is deleted, the data will be lost. This is also the case if the primary key used for the editable column is removed.
It is possible to retrieve the changes from a change store via the change-stores API or an automation. Using the REST connection and the change-store API, the changes made in a write table can be retrieved and stored in a QVD (if needed for more than 90 days) or added to the data model for use in other analytics. Qlik Automate can also be used to retrieve data from the change-store using the List Current Changes From Change Store block or the List Change Store History block. From there the data can be stored permanently in an external system for later use or used in the automation for another process. Qlik Help offers steps for retrieving data from a change-store.
The write table can make it easy for users to add updates, feedback and important information that may not be available in the data model. Not only can this be done quickly, but it can be immediately visible to other colleagues. Learn more about the write table in the Product Innovation blog along with links to videos and write table FAQs.
Thanks,
Jennell

As part of our ongoing commitment to provide the best possible experience for Qlik Cloud users, we are removing the Basic and Full User construct from tenants on capacity-based subscriptions, simplifying to just User.
Why are we doing this?
User capabilities on capacity-based tenants are governed by access control. Thus, a difference in user type designation is no longer required to determine what a user can do in the tenant.
What changes are being made?
- Any user authenticating to a capacity-based tenant will be considered a Full User. The concept of a Basic User is removed from the product. Any users purchased under capacity entitlement will be available as Full Users. Full User consumption is deducted from the total number of user capacity purchased.
- The auto-assignment toggles in the Qlik Cloud Administration Center > Settings > Entitlements will be removed from the product.
To grant these roles to everyone in the tenant, use the Auto assign option in Manage users > Permissions.
How does this impact you?
Current access control configuration for existing users remains unchanged. You may have to modify the User Default role, assign users to built-in roles, or create new custom roles to support access to tenant features and capabilities. See Roles and permissions for users and administrators for information on your tenant’s access control system.
When will this change take effect?
This is targeted for February 2nd, 2026.

Show MoreQlik's O365 Add-in offering for report developers has expanded with two new add-ins to enable Word document and PowerPoint presentation analytic reports.
Report developers can now:
- Compose document or portrait style reports with data from a Qlik Sense app with an output format of .docx or .PDF (using the new Microsoft O365 Add-in for Word).
- Create PowerPoint presentation analytic reports from a Qlik Sense app with an output of .pptx or .PDF (using the new Microsoft O365 Add-in for PowerPoint).
How do I get started?
Qlik add-ins for Microsoft Office are installed using a manifest file. If you are using an existing manifest, you will need to download and deploy an updated file to access the new add-ins. See the deployment guide Deploying and installing Qlik add-ins for Microsoft Office.
The manifest covers all three productivity tool Add-ins. They cannot be deployed individually.
Notes on the PowerPoint add-in use
Qlik’s integration testing of Microsoft PowerPoint APIs shows that the O365 Add-in for PowerPoint can be unstable or slow at times. Our investigation with Microsoft reveals this to be a known challenge; some APIs on web vs desktop can result in different behaviors.
If your report developers have difficulty with the online PowerPoint Add-in, contact Qlik Support to open a case with us.
While we investigate the integration with Microsoft to determine if a solution is possible, consider developing your reports with the desktop version of PowerPoint.
For Qlik NPrinting Customers
- Watch for an upcoming Qlik NPrinting release in 2026 that will support Word and PowerPoint template export of compatible templates to Qlik Cloud Analytics.
- Please note that due to Microsoft API limitations, it is not possible to embed data into an Excel table within the PowerPoint template to then produce native PowerPoint visualizations in the report. Refer to the help documentation for any other Word and PowerPoint report authoring limitations. See Qlik Reporting Service specifications and limitations for details.

Qlik Sense Migration: Migrating your Entire Qlik Sense Environment
Hi everyone, For various and valid reasons, you might need to migrate your entire Qlik Sense environment, or part of it, somewhere else. In this post... Show MoreHi everyone,
For various and valid reasons, you might need to migrate your entire Qlik Sense environment, or part of it, somewhere else.
In this post, I’ll cover the most common scenario: a complete migration of a single or multi-node Qlik Sense system, with the bundled PostgreSQL database (Qlik Sense Repository Database service) in a new environment.
So, how do we do that?
- Introduction and preparation
- Backup your old environment
- Deploy and restore the new central environment
- What about my rim nodes?
- Finalizing your migration
- Data Connection
- Licensing
- Best practices
If direct assistance is needed and you require hands-on help with a migration, engage Qlik Consulting. Qlik Support cannot provide walk-through assistance with server migrations outside of a post-installation and migration completion break/fix scenario.
Introduction and preparation
Let’s start with a little bit of context: Say that we are running a 3 nodes Qlik Sense environment (Central node / Proxy-Engine node / Scheduler node).
On the central node, I also have the Qlik shared folder and the bundled Qlik Sense Repository Database installed.
If you have previously unbundled your PostgreSQL install, see How To migrate a Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows environment to a different host after unbundling PostgreSQL for instructions on how to migrate.
This environment has been running well for years but I now need to move it to a brand new hardware ensuring better performance. It’s not possible to reinstall everything from scratch because the system has been heavily used and customized already. Redoing all of that to replicate the environment is too difficult and time-consuming.
I start off with going through a checklist to verify if the new system I’m migrating to is up to it:
- Do I meet the system requirements? Qlik Sense System Requirements
- Am I following virtualization best practices? Virtualization Best Practices In QlikView And Qlik Sense
And then I move right over to…
Backup your old environment
The first step to migrate your environment in this scenario is to back it up.
To do that, I would recommend following the steps documented on help.qlik.com (make sure to select your Qlik Sense version top left of the screen).
Once the backup is done you should have:
- A backup of the database in .tar format
- A backup of the content of the file share which includes your applications, application content, archived logs, extensions,…
- Backups of any data source files that need to be migrated and are not stored in the shared folder like QVDs
Then we can go ahead and…
Deploy and restore the new central environment
The next steps are to deploy and restore your central node. In this scenario, we will also assume that the new central node will have a different name than the original one (just to make things a bit more complicated 😊).
Let’s start by installing Qlik Sense on the central node. That’s as straightforward as any other fresh install.
You can follow our documentation. Before clicking on Install simply uncheck the box “Start the Qlik Sense services when the setup is complete.”
The version of Qlik Sense you are going to install MUST be the same as the one the backup is taken on.
Now that Qlik Sense is deployed you can restore the backup you have taken earlier into your new Qlik Sense central node following Restoring a Qlik Sense site.
Since the central node server name has also changed, you need to run a Bootstrap command to update Qlik Sense with the new server name. Instruction are provided in Restoring a Qlik Sense site to a machine with a different hostname.
The central node is now almost ready to start.
If you have changed the Qlik Share location, then the UNC path has also changed and needs to be updated.
To do that:
- Go to C:\Program Files\Qlik\Sense\Repository\Util\QlikSenseUtil
- Run QlikSenseUtil.exe as Administrator
- Click on Connect to the database and enter the credential to connect to the new PostgreSQL database
- Click on Service Cluster and press OK. This should display the previously configured UNC Path
- You simply need to update each path, save and start/restart all the Qlik sense services.
At this point make sure you can access the Qlik Sense QMC and Hub on the central node. Eventually, check that you can load applications (using the central node engine of course). You can also check in the QMC > Service Cluster that the changes you previously made have been correctly applied.
Troubleshooting tips: If after starting the Qlik Sense services, you cannot access the QMC and/or Hub please check the following knowledge article How to troubleshoot issue to access QMC and HUB
What about my rim nodes?
You’ve made it here?! Then congratulations you have passed the most difficult part.
If you had already run and configured rim nodes in your environment that you now need to migrate as well, you might not want to remove them from Qlik Sense to add the new ones since you will lose pretty much all the configuration you have done so far on these rim nodes.
By applying the following few steps I will show you how to connect to your “new” rim node(s) and keep the configuration of the “old” one(s).
Let’s start by installing Qlik Sense on each rim node like it was a new one.
The process is pretty much the same as installing a central node except that instead of choosing “Create Cluster”, you need to select “Join Cluster”
Detailed instructions can be found on help.qlik.com: Installing Qlik Sense in a multi-node site
Once Qlik Sense is installed on your future rim node(s) and the services are started, we will need to connect to the “new” Qlik Sense Repository Database and change the hostname of the “old” rim node(s) to the “new” one so that the central node can communicate with it.
To do that install PGAdmin4 and connect to the Qlik Sense Repository Database. Detailed instruction in Installing and Configuring PGAdmin 4 to access the PostgreSQL database used by Qlik Sense or NPrinting knowledge article.
Once connected navigate to Databases > QSR > Schemas > public > Tables
You need to edit the LocalConfigs and ServerNodeConfigurations table and change the Hostname of your rim node(s) from the old one to the new corresponding one (Don’t forget to Save the change)
LocalConfigs table
ServerNodeConfigurations table
Once this is done, you will need to restart all the services on the central node.
When you have access back, login to the QMC and go to Nodes. Your rim node(s) should display the following status, “The certificate has not been installed”
From this point, you can simply select the node, click on Redistribute and follow the instruction to deploy the certificates on your rim node. After a moment the status should change and you should see the services being up and running.
Do the same thing on the remaining rim node(s).
Troubleshooting tips: If the rim node status is not showing “The certificate has not been installed” it means that either the central node cannot reach the rim node or the rim node is not ready to receive new certificates.
Check that the port 4444 is opened between the central and rim node and make sure the rim node is listening on port 4444 (netstat -aon in command prompt).
Still no luck? You can completely uninstall Qlik Sense on the rim node and reinstall it.Finalizing your migration
At this point, your environment is completely migrated and most of the stuff should work.
Data Connection
There is one thing to consider in this scenario. Since the Qlik Sense certificates between the old environment and the new one are not the same, it is likely that data connections with passwords will fail. This is because passwords are saved in the repository database with encryption. That encryption is based on a hash from the certs. When the Qlik Sense self-signed cert is rebuilt, this hash is no longer valid, and so the saved data connection passwords will fail. You will need to re-enter the passwords in each data connection and save. This can be done in the QMC -> Data Connections.
See knowledge article: Repository System Log Shows Error "Not possible to decrypt encrypted string in database"
Licensing
Do not forget to turn off your old Qlik Sense Environment once you are finished. While Qlik's Signed License key can be used across multiple environments, you will want to prevent accidental user assignments from the old environment.
Note: If you are still using a legacy key (tokens), the old environment must be shut down immediately, as you can only use a legacy license on one active Qlik Sense environment. Reach out to your account manager for more details.
Best practices
Finally, don’t forget to apply best practices in your new environment:
- Qlik Sense Folder And Files To Exclude From AntiVirus Scanning
- Recommended practice on configuration for Qlik Sense

We’ve slowed down the rotation to give you more time to absorb each message, and we’ve added a pause button so you can control the experience yourself. This update reflects our continued commitment to making Community content easier to explore and more enjoyable to use.
Recent Fixes & Improvements
We’ve also resolved a few behind-the-scenes issues:
- A bug where selected time zones were displayed incorrectly for some users has now been fixed
- Navigation inconsistencies - where some users were seeing different layouts than others - have also been resolved
Thank you to everyone who flagged these gaps!

Show MoreQlik and Qlik Cloud are always innovating, adding new features to make the user experience even better. Today I would like to tell you about Qlik’s newest feature: Templates. Templates are a new feature in Qlik Cloud that prompts the user when creating a new sheet.
To use Templates, go into any Qlik Cloud app and click on ‘sheets’ then ‘Create new sheet’.
There you will be greeted with the new Templates feature. Please know that if you do not wish to see this screen when you are creating a new sheet, you can simply uncheck the box next to ‘Show when creating a sheet’.
The Templates feature is broken down into a few different categories to help navigate the feature. The vast number of Templates available can seem a bit overwhelming, but if you find a template that you find yourself using often, you can click on the star next to it to add it to your ‘Favorites’.
Additionally, if you would like the freedom to create your own sheet, without a template, you can simply select the ‘Empty sheet’ option.
Using a template is easy!
Let’s take a look at one of the templates from the Highlights section ‘Charts with filters on the side’. With just the click of a button, my new sheet with the various placeholders for my charts has been created.
From here I can begin creating my sheet. As we can see, charts have been added to the sheet, including a Straight table at the bottom, KPIs at the top, and Bar charts in the middle with our Filter Panes to the side. Of course, I have the freedom to add, delete and change these charts as I see fit.
Then we add a bit of color and add a bit of spacing.
And we have a finished sheet! Of course there is still so much more we could do with this sheet to customize it to our needs, but it’s a start!
There are so many templates that you can use to help create your sheets. Take a look at new Template feature and drop which template you think will be most useful. Thank you for reading!

Show MoreWhy Qlik Makes It EasyAs data literacy and analytics becomes essential across higher education, many faculty want to introduce analytics into their courses—but hesitate for one simple reason: time.For most professors, the challenge isn’t interest—it’s practicality. Traditional analytics tools often require:-
Significant time to learn and teach
-
Building course materials from scratch
-
Managing software access and technical issues
-
Justifying tools that don’t clearly align with real-world outcomes
When added together, these hurdles can make analytics feel like more work than impact. Qlik’s Academic Program is designed with faculty realities in mind.Professors get:-
Ready-to-use course materials (syllabi, labs, and assessments)
-
Easy, cloud-based access with no cost or complex setup
-
Flexible integration, from a single module to a full course
-
Industry-relevant analytics tools students actually use in the workforce
Instead of asking faculty to redesign their courses, Qlik fits seamlessly into what they already teach. Adding an analytics tool doesn’t have to be difficult.Qlik removes the biggest barriers—time, complexity, and curriculum creation—making it one of the easiest analytics programs for professors to adopt and teach.Explore more here: https://www.qlik.com/us/company/academic-program -

Mastering the HyperCube: High-Volume Data Strategies with @qlik/api

Show MoreIf you have been building custom web applications or mashups with Qlik Cloud, you have likely hit the "10K cells ceiling" when using Hypercubes to fetch data from Qlik.
(Read my previous posts about Hypercubes here and here)You build a data-driven component, it works perfectly with low-volume test data, and then you connect it to production; and now suddenly, your list of 50,000+ customers cuts off halfway, or your export results look incomplete.
This happens because the Qlik Engine imposes a strict limit on data retrieval: a maximum of 10,000 cells per request. If you fetch 4 columns, you only get 2,500 rows (4 (columns) x 2500 = 10,000 (max cells)).
In this post, I’ll show you how to master high-volume data retrieval using the two strategies: Bulk Ingest and On-Demand Paging, using the @qlik/api library.
What is the 10k Limit and Why Does It Matter?
The Qlik Associative Engine is built for speed and can handle billions of rows in memory. However, transferring that much data to a web browser in one go would be inefficient. To protect both the server and the client-side experience, Qlik forces you to retrieve data in chunks.
Understanding how to manage these chunks is the difference between an app that lags and one that delivers a good user experience.
Step 1: Defining the Data Volume
To see these strategies in action, we need a "heavy" dataset. Copy this script into your Qlik Sense Data Load Editor to generate 250,000 rows of transactions (or download the QVF attached to this post):
// ============================================================ // DATASET GENERATOR: 250,000 rows (~1,000,000 cells) // ============================================================ Transactions: Load RecNo() as TransactionID, 'Customer ' & Ceil(Rand() * 20000) as Customer, Pick(Ceil(Rand() * 5), 'Corporate', 'Consumer', 'Small Business', 'Home Office', 'Enterprise' ) as Segment, Money(Rand() * 1000, '$#,##0.00') as Sales, Date(Today() - Rand() * 365) as [Transaction Date] AutoGenerate 250000;Step 2: Choosing Your Strategy
There are two primary ways to handle this volume in a web app. The choice depends entirely on your specific use case.
1- Bulk Ingest (The High-Performance Pattern)
In this pattern, you fetch the entire dataset into the application's local memory in iterative chunks upon loading.
-
The Goal: Provide a "zero-latency" experience once the data is loaded.
-
Best For: Use cases where users need to perform instant client-side searches, complex local sorting, or full-dataset CSV exports without waiting for the Engine.
2- On-Demand (The "Virtual" Pattern)
In this pattern, you only fetch the specific slice of data the user is currently looking at.
-
The Goal: Provide a near-instant initial load time, regardless of whether the dataset has 10,000 or 10,000,000 rows as you only load a specific chunk of those rows at a time.
-
Best For: Massive datasets where the "cost" of loading everything into memory is too high, or when users only need to browse a few pages at a time.
Step 3: Implementing the Logic
While I'm using React and custom react hooks for the example I'm providing, these core Qlik concepts translate to any JavaScript framework (Vue, Angular, or Vanilla JS). The secret lies in how you interact with the HyperCube.
The Iterative Logic (Bulk Ingest):
The key is to use a loop that updates your local data buffer as chunks arrive.
To prevent the browser from freezing during this heavy network activity, we use setTimeout to allow the UI to paint the progress bar.
qModel = await app.createSessionObject({ qInfo: { qType: 'bulk' }, ...properties }); const layout = await qModel.getLayout(); const totalRows = layout.qHyperCube.qSize.qcy; const pageSize = properties.qHyperCubeDef.qInitialDataFetch[0].qHeight; const width = properties.qHyperCubeDef.qInitialDataFetch[0].qWidth; const totalPages = Math.ceil(totalRows / pageSize); let accumulator = []; for (let i = 0; i < totalPages; i++) { if (!mountedRef.current || stopRequestedRef.current) break; const pages = await qModel.getHyperCubeData('/qHyperCubeDef', [{ qTop: i * pageSize, qLeft: 0, qWidth: width, qHeight: pageSize }]); accumulator = accumulator.concat(pages[0].qMatrix); // Update state incrementally setData([...accumulator]); setProgress(Math.round(((i + 1) / totalPages) * 100)); // Yield thread to prevent UI locking await new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, 1));The Slicing Logic (On-Demand)
In this mode, the application logic simply calculates the qTop coordinate based on the user's current page index and makes a single request for that specific window of data (rowsPerPage).
const width = properties.qHyperCubeDef.qInitialDataFetch[0].qWidth; const qTop = (page - 1) * rowsPerPage; const pages = await qModelRef.current.getHyperCubeData('/qHyperCubeDef', [{ qTop, qLeft: 0, qWidth: width, qHeight: rowsPerPage }]); if (mountedRef.current) { setData(pages[0].qMatrix); }I placed these two methods in custom hooks (useQlikBulkIngest & useQlikOnDemand) so they can be easily re-used in different components as well as other apps.
Best Practices
Regardless of which pattern you choose, always follow these three Qlik Engine best practices:
-
Engine Hygiene (Cleanup): Always call app.destroySessionObject(qModel.id) when your component or view unmounts.
-
Cell Math: Always make sure your qWidth x qHeight is strictly < 10,000. For instance, if you have a wide table (20 columns), your max height is only 500 rows per chunk.
-
UI Performance: Even if you use the "Bulk" method and have 250,000 rows in JavaScript memory, do not render them all to the DOM at once. Use UI-level pagination or virtual scrolling to keep the browser responsive.
Choosing between Bulk and On-Demand is a trade-off between Initial Load Time and Interactive Speed. By mastering iterative fetching with the @qlik/api library, you can ensure your web apps remain robust, no matter how much data is coming in from Qlik.
💾 Attached is the QVF and here is the GitHub repository containing the full example in React so you can try it in locally - Instructions are provided in the README file.
(P.S: Make sure you create the OAuth client in your tenant and fill in the qlik-config.js file in the project with your tenant-specific config).
