The Qlik Learning blog offers information about the latest updates to our courses and programs, as well as insights from the Qlik Learning team.
We've made an update to Qlik Answers that delivers faster responses to your questions. See What's New in Qlik Cloud for the announcement.
The Data Analyst Agent in Qlik Answers now handles semantic search, expression building, and chart generation within a single, unified flow. When you ask a question, the Answers Agent and the Data Analyst Agent work together to deliver your response, and you'll see both reflected in the interface as Qlik Answers responds.
The practical effect: Qlik Answers can take your question, figure out what to search for, build the right expression, and generate the right visualization in a single connected process rather than as separate steps. Complex questions, the kind that involve comparisons across dimensions, multiple measures, or specific time periods, benefit the most because the agent can hold the full shape of your question in mind while deciding how to answer it.
Here's an example of how the same question flows through Qlik Answers. Previously, the response involved several specialized agents handing work back and forth. With the updated architecture, the question is resolved through a more direct flow, and you'll see the response come back faster.
Try it yourself! Ask any question you often repeat, especially one with comparisons or multiple parts. You'll notice Qlik Answers gets to the response faster.
You will see the difference the next time you open Qlik Answers, but everything else you rely on in Qlik Answers (your data, your spaces, your permissions, or the way you ask questions) will continue to work exactly as it did before the update went live.
We'll continue to evolve how the agents work as we add new capabilities, and we'll keep sharing what's changing along the way.
We'd love to hear how the updated experience feels in your day-to-day use. Reach out to your Qlik contact or share your thoughts in the community.

Update March 4th, 2026: added link to How to get Talend Management Console task schedules and pause and resume during a maintenance window using the API article
Talend Cloud and Talend Management Console will undergo scheduled maintenance in March, April, and May. This infrastructure modernization is a key step in unifying the Talend ecosystem with Qlik.
The alignment paves the way for a more seamless experience across both platforms. Over the coming months, you will gain access to integrated features that bridge data integration and analytics, enabling unified governance and a streamlined management experience across your entire data lifecycle.
The maintenance windows will occur per region, during off-peak hours, and are expected to have a maximum of 30 minutes of effective downtime.
A full outage of Talend Cloud and Talend Management Console for a duration of up to 30 minutes within a preplanned 4-hour window.
The following applications will not be accessible:
In detail:
Pause jobs and plans before the maintenance window so there are no ongoing executions during the planned timeframe. Resume them after maintenance completes. If not stopped or paused, they will likely be in an inconsistent state at the end of the maintenance window.
This concerns all jobs and plans scheduled to start or run during the maintenance window.
See Checking scheduled task runs against your maintenance timetable on how to identify these plans and jobs.
Looking for information on how to identify, pause, and resume your tasks? See How to get Talend Management Console task schedules and pause and resume during a maintenance window using the API.

As a follow-up to my previous blog post titled Finance Report with Waterfall Chart, I wanted to share an awesome demo that showcases financial reporting visualizations including a profit & loss statement with a waterfall chart. Qlik's Dennis Jaskowiak and Ekaterina Kovalenko, and partner Dawid Marciniak from HighCoordination, created the Financial Analysis demo based off of Jedox data, incorporating many enhancements to the straight table and pivot table. In addition to the waterfall chart, they use inline SVG to create lollipop charts and bar charts in financial statements.
Here is a look at some of the sheets:
The Dashboard provides a high-level overview of profit and loss, cash flow and liquidity. On this sheet, view the use of inline SVG bar charts and lollipop charts.
The P&L sheet provides a more detailed look at profit and loss.
The Cost Center sheet uses the pivot table to show sales costs.
Find a detailed look of cash flow on the Cash Flow sheet.
This is just some of the sheets you will find in the Financial Analysis demo. If you are looking for appealing ways to visual your financial data while keeping it concise and clean, download the Financial Analysis demo here.
Thanks,

Edited 9th of April, 2026: added clarity on when exactly intervals will be converted and to what value
Starting January 12, 2026, the 30-second interval option will no longer be available in the Qlik Automate scheduler.
This update prepares Qlik Automate for a future upgrade that will bring enhanced scheduling capabilities that are consistent with other Qlik products, including:
All automations using the 30-second interval will continue to work and run on the 30-second interval for now.
On or after April 20, 2026, automations that still use a 30-second interval will be migrated to a 1-minute interval. For example, 35 seconds will become 1 minute, 88 seconds will become 1 minute, and 90 seconds will become 2 minutes.
Please review your automations that use 30-second intervals to ensure they will function properly with a 1-minute interval.
Don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or address our experts directly in the Qlik Automate forum.

Gabriel Geovanni Navassi Díaz quit his job. Not to step back. To move forward on his own terms.
"I quit my job to become a more present father," he says simply. But here's the thing: he didn't choose family over his career. He wove them together. He became a consultant while teaching across two universities in Guatemala, and kept one eye sharp on analytics and AI.
"This is an exciting season," he reflects. "Many of the things I have taught for years are now becoming even more relevant in the market."
When you know what matters, you teach others to see it too. Today, we're welcoming Gabriel to the Qlik Educator Ambassador community for the first time.

We are delighted to once again recognize Blerim Emruli, Assistant Professor at Lund University, as a returning Qlik Academic Program Educator Ambassador. Over the years, Blerim has been a strong advocate for data literacy, analytics education, and the integration of industry tools into academic programs. His work continues to make a meaningful impact at the Lund University School of Economics and Management (LUSEM), where he teaches courses such as Decision Support Systems, Business Intelligence, and Business and Artificial Intelligence, helping students develop the analytical skills required in today’s data-driven world.
Qlik is introducing changes to how custom themes in Qlik Analytics applications are handled, which may impact your CSS-styled themes if they include unsupported CSS modifications. This also applies to other means of modifying the CSS, such as the sheet input box, the Multi KPI CSS input, or any other 3rd party extension that allows CSS input.
These changes will impact both Qlik Cloud Analytics and Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows.
For more information about custom themes, see Uploading and managing themes.
These changes improve how theming works in Qlik Analytics applications, which will enable us to deliver better-looking dashboards and generally enhanced theming.
We’re restructuring theme settings:
And we are adding new themes:
We’ve compiled a list of supported styling options for you that can already replace the need for custom CSS. See Obsolete CSS modifications.
Additionally, see the table below for an overview of the new theme properties that you can use in your theme instead of CSS. You will first need to enable the /feature/CLIENT_TLV_1804_LESS_CARDS flag to see them in effect in the application.
| Theme Option | Path in theme JSON | Example |
| Sheet background |
sheet.backgroundColor |
|
| Sheet margin |
sheet.margin |
|
| Object paddings |
object.padding |
|
| Borders |
|
|
|
object.borderColor |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Shadows |
object.shadow.boxShadow |
|
|
object.shadow.boxShadowColor |
|
To give you more context: Document Object Model (DOM) selectors in custom CSS are not a supported pattern. While they can be helpful for customizing the look and feel of applications, the DOM is subject to change at any time. To provide your feedback, raise tickets on the Qlik Ideation portal when you need custom CSS customization. This helps prioritize supported customization options to add to the platform.
Qlik Cloud will see the changes on or after June 1st, 2026, while Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows will be aligned in the November 2026 release.
While we do not expect your themes to be affected, we recommend testing them at the earliest. See the How can I verify if my themes are affected? section.
If you have any questions, we're happy to assist. Reply to this blog post or take your queries to our Support Chat.

Qlik is improving how the Qlik Cloud platform handles themes and extensions. As part of this transition, existing themes and extensions are being moved to a new service.
While the migration has been ongoing in the backend for some time, we are now surfacing a Migration status column in your Qlik Cloud Administration center. This status message will help you identify whether you need to take action or if the theme or extension has already been migrated successfully.
The column is temporary and will be removed once the migration work is completed.
Starting from last year (November 17th), themes and extensions are automatically migrated to the new service if:
What about inactive themes and extensions?
To protect customer-owned content, Qlik will not migrate unused themes or extensions. A migration will only trigger if they are:
Review your themes and extensions and identify those that have been inactive since November 17th, 2025:
Possible Migration status values:
Unused content will be removed if it is not accessed or migrated by June 30th, 2026.

📊Sales Performance Insights The North region appears to have the highest sales, closely followed by West and East, while South is slightly lower. Overall sales are strong (over 109M), indicating healthy business performance. 🏙️ City-Level Trends Surat (~11.9%) and Bangalore (~10.3%) are among the top contributing cities. Cities like Mumbai, Chennai, and Pune contribute fairly evenly (~9–10%), showing a well-distributed market. 🗺️ State-Level Insights Karnataka leads in state-wise sales (~15M), followed by Telangana and Maharashtra. There is a cluster of high-performing southern and western states, suggesting strong regional demand.

: 🚀 Revenue Growth Impact Strong performance in top regions and states (like North and Karnataka) means you can double down on high-performing markets to drive faster revenue growth. The slight dip in 2024 highlights a need for corrective strategies (promotions, new products) to avoid stagnation. 🎯 Market Strategy Impact Well-distributed city contributions reduce risk, but top cities (Surat, Bangalore) offer opportunities for targeted campaigns and expansion. Underperforming regions can be improved with localized marketing and pricing strategies. 📦 Product Strategy Impact High-value products (e.g., laptops) contribute significantly → focus on premium product positioning and upselling. Low-performing items (e.g., accessories with low sales) may lead to inventory inefficiencies, so consider bundling or discontinuation. 💰 Profitability Impact A high average unit price (~10K) suggests strong margins, but optimizing the product mix can further increase profitability. Better alignment of demand vs. supply reduces holding costs and wastage. 👥 Customer Impact With relatively fewer customers generating high sales, there’s an opportunity to: Increase customer base (acquisition campaigns) Boost retention and repeat purchases (loyalty programs) 📈 Decision-Making Impact Leadership can make faster, data-driven decisions using this centralized dashboard. Enables proactive actions instead of reactive ones (e.g., spotting declining trends early).

Sales managers, business analysts, and marketing teams use the app to track performance and identify trends. Executives rely on it for quick, data-driven decisions to drive growth and strategy.

The app uses structured sales data (customers, products, regions, and time) to generate insights. It applies advanced analytics like trend analysis, regional comparison, and KPI tracking to uncover patterns and support predictive, data-driven decisions.
Qlik DataTransfer will be officially End-of-Life by the end of Q1 2026.
It will be removed from the Product Downloads site later this year and will no longer be available for new installations or upgrades. Qlik will provide support until April 30, 2026.
While Qlik Data Transfer is deprecated and will no longer receive fixes or support starting April 30th, 2026, we expect it to function until November 29th, 2026, at which point it will have reached EOL (End of Life).
To ensure a smooth transition, we recommend you begin utilizing Qlik Data Gateway – Direct Access, the supported alternative.
Note that the initial release of Qlik DataTransfer (November 2024, version 10.4.0) will not work after June 24th, 2025. If you still need to use Qlik DataTransfer beyond June, upgrade to the Service Release version 10.4.4.
We have compiled a list of resources to assist you in adopting Qlik Data Gateway - Direct Access:
Additionally, for those needing feature parity with Qlik DataTransfer, we recommend pairing with the File Connector via Direct Access, REST Connector via Direct Access, and the generic ODBC Connector.
Further Resources:
We will share an update later this year with the exact deprecation and end-of-support dates.

In Belo Horizonte, Brazil, the best ideas don't stay in the classroom. For Priscila, they never did. We are proud to welcome Priscila back as a Qlik Educator Ambassador for 2026.
At Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Minas Gerais, she teaches MBA and postgraduate students across some of the most vital disciplines in modern business: data-driven culture, data governance, AI for business, and market intelligence. Her students are not fresh graduates finding their footing. They are analysts, managers, and executives who arrive carrying real, unresolved problems from real organizations and Priscila has built her classroom to be the place where those problems finally meet their match.
"The classes become very dynamic," she says, "because we can discuss real problems brought by the students themselves."
That energy is not a happy accident. It is the result of years spent equally inside lecture halls and inside the organizations her students go home to every evening, someone who has lived both worlds deeply enough to bridge them.
A Curriculum Built to Last
Priscila has spent recent years building something more purposeful than a course catalog. Three ideas now sit at the heart of everything she teaches: data quality, data governance, and data and AI fluency. Not as boxes to check, but as a framework her students carry into every analysis, every dashboard, and every decision they will ever make.
Her reasoning is both simple and powerful. Analytics and artificial intelligence only generate real value when the data underneath them is trustworthy and well governed. Without that foundation, even the most brilliant insight collapses. So in her classroom, Qlik is not the finish line, it is the environment where students learn to do something far more valuable than building visualizations. They learn to question them. Sessions frequently use datasets with intentional quality problems, challenging students to diagnose, clean, model, and interpret. They go further still learning to understand predictions, evaluate risks, and identify the optimizations necessary to use AI responsibly and effectively. It is demanding work. It is also the kind of work that transforms a good analyst into an indispensable one.
"What usually makes the difference in interviews is that they can demonstrate not just tool knowledge, but analytical maturity. They can explain how to organize data, structure analyses, and transform information into decisions."
That is the standard Priscila holds her classroom to and the standard the market is increasingly hungry for. Beyond class hours, she actively encourages her students to pursue the Qlik Academic Program's structured learning paths and certifications, giving them a way to build deeper, independently verified fluency that follows them into every organization they join.
Where She Is Taking It in 2026
Priscila's vision for 2026 is as clear as it is ambitious. She wants every student, regardless of course, to leave with a transferable framework for working responsibly and confidently in data and AI-driven environments. Data governance remains at the core because analytics initiatives don't fail for lack of technology. They fail for lack of structure, ownership, and clarity. She is building those foundations directly into her curriculum.
And generative AI? No longer a future conversation.
"The market no longer values only those who can build dashboards. There is growing demand for professionals who understand data quality, modeling, governance, and business context."
Her courses are being designed to produce exactly the professionals the market is looking for but struggling to find.
The Story That Says It All
One story, more than any other, captures what Priscila is truly building.
A student arrived from a completely unrelated background, drawn to data but without a clear path forward. During a Qlik project, he dug into a real dataset from his own company and uncovered critical inconsistencies in a commission process, the kind of deep, invisible problem that organizations live with for years because no one has ever had the tools or the courage to surface it. He surfaced it. Shortly after, he was invited into a more analytical role within the organization.
He told Priscila that what changed wasn't learning a tool. It was learning to structure problems and think with data.
"And for me," she says, "that is exactly what we are trying to build in the classroom."
Not just skilled analysts. Confident, curious thinkers who make organizations better.
A Bridge That Flows Both Ways
Priscila recently brought a Data Literacy program to a healthcare company in Minas Gerais and discovered that one of her own graduate students was already working there. The university and the market, finding each other without anyone planning for it. A reminder that the seeds planted in the classroom have a way of growing in the most unexpected places.
That is the kind of connection the Ambassador Program makes possible at its best. "Everything I have lived and built with Qlik," she says, "makes me continue to believe it is the best tool for the purpose I promote." Her students enter organizations already fluent, already confident, already equipped to contribute from day one. And through the program's global network of educators, Priscila keeps pushing her own boundaries, drawing inspiration from peers across countries and institutions who share her belief that education can and should change how people work.
Every Semester, a New Chapter
Last year, Priscila published her book on Data and AI Fluency — Estratégias e Práticas para trabalhar e viver em um mundo dirigido por dados — a field guide born not from theory, but from years of classrooms, boardrooms, and every honest conversation in between. It now anchors her teaching, returning to the room each semester as a living document that her students immediately recognize as their own professional reality, finally given language and meaning.
The loop is rare and powerful. Teach from experience. Reflect deeply enough to write it down. Then teach again from what the writing revealed. Each cycle sharper. Each cohort more prepared. Each student a little more ready to go out and change something.
That is what an Educator Ambassador looks like.
Congratulations, Priscila. We are proud to have you back and we cannot wait to see what you write next.

Following our previous releases (Agentic AI and Data Products), we're excited to announce Discovery Agent, available as of today from your tenant's new Feed tab:
Business data changes constantly. Metrics shift, patterns evolve, and important signals often hide within complex combinations of dimensions. Teams simply don’t have time to check every chart every day, meaning by the time you notice an issue, the window to act may already be closing.
Traditional alerting doesn’t solve the problem either. Rules-based alerts rely on rigid thresholds, predefined logic, and ongoing maintenance. They only detect the changes you expect to see.
But what about the changes you didn’t know to look for?
Enter, Discovery Agent:
Discovery Agent autonomously monitors your data to identify meaningful changes the moment they happen. Instead of relying on manual dashboard checks or rigid alert rules, Discovery Agent works behind the scenes to scan your Qlik Cloud applications and surface the insights that matter most.
It automatically detects signals such as:

We are pleased to welcome Dr. Ravi Aavula from the Department of Data Science, Anurag University, Hyderabad, India as the Qlik Academic Program Educator Ambassador for 2026.
Dr Ravi was introduced to Qlik while searching for effective data visualization tools to support data science and analytics courses. When he explored the Qlik Academic Program, he found it very useful because it offers free access, learning materials, and certifications for students and educators. This encouraged him to start using Qlik in his teaching.
