Augmented Analytics
We are excited about the advancements made in Augmented Analytics, as we are introducing business logic into our cognitive engine.
With this new capability, customers can create metadata and rules to inform and guide the behaviour of Insight Advisor when generating visualizations and insights.
In addition, supporting our global footprint, Insight Advisor now supports multiple languages when using search-based insight generation now with French, Spanish, and Russian, with additional languages planned for future releases.
Qlik In The Cloud
Our cloud offering continues to get stronger to ensure that our customers can easily adopt our SaaS and client managed offerings, as we deliver high-value features to expand use cases and improve user experience and platform management.
With this release, we expanded connectivity delivering additional high demand data sources like Qualtrics, added more connectors in the Qlik Sense Add Data interface including Google Analytics and Twitter, and we have enhanced existing connectors.
Developer Tools
The June release also includes new embedded analytics capabilities that deliver further extensibility and value to the developer community and beyond. With this, we launched Qlik.dev – our new developer portal for discovering, learning, and referencing APIs for cloud editions of Qlik Sense.
Beyond the portal, customers can now automate Qlik Sense SaaS editions into their DevOps processes with Qlik CLI driving greater analytic efficiencies from the command line.
And Qlik’s Nebula.js 1.0 library is framework agnostic, making it easier to embed Qlik analytics into other web applications and create custom visualizations to support even more customer use cases.
Qlik Sense
Qlik Sense is “looking better than ever.” In the past year, we have delivered over 50 new visualizations and dashboarding enhancements – and the June 2020 release takes us even further.
Sparklines: Enhancements of the straight table continue. The cells can now feature a mini chart, a measure across a second dimension, also known as sparklines.
Table Customisation Options: The tables (straight and pivot) now have more options to customise the user experience including setting the scroll bar size and highlight rows on hover.
Bullet Chart Improvements: The bullet chart is a custom-built graph for presenting KPIs in a clear and informative way as possible. We have improved the bullet chart in Qlik Sense, with more customisation options and support for standard Qlik Sense functionality.
Custom Tooltips Enhancements: A number of enhancements to custom tooltips have been made, including:
- Support for line charts
- More information available in all charts
- Titles and descriptions can now be dynamic through the use of expressions
- Set expressions and expression modifiers such as ‘ALL and TOTAL are now supported
- We have added the ability to hide default rows
Org Chart Enhancements: It is now easier for users to interact with the Org Chart, through improvements such as a home button, autozoom, fully expanded mode, and border colour options.
Constant Evolution
In summary, Qlik Sense is stronger than ever with visual analytics. Check out our Qlik Sense Visualization Showcase app to see all this in action.
As always, you’ll find improvements to our value-added products, giving our customers more reasons to expand the possibilities of Qlik Sense deployments.
We have simplified and enhanced the installation process for Qlik Insight Bot, allowing our customers to get started more quickly and easily. We have integrated licensing for Qlik Alerting with the Qlik Licensing Service, allowing customers to more easily manage licenses. And our Qlik NPrinting customers will now benefit from expanded NewsStand functionality and the ability to customize visualiations with Qlik Sense themes.
Finally, this release delivers updates to several data integration products. This release includes performance improvements and architectural updates for Qlik Catalog and delivers expanded support for source and target endpoints in Qlik Replicate, along with new certifications for Snowflake and expanded support for Databricks in Qlik Compose.
