1 What's new in Qlik Sense May 2023

This section provides Qlik Sense business users, analytic creators, and data integrators a
summary of the features and improvements available in Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows.

Qlik Sense administrators should review the What’s New section in the Qlik Sense for Administrators
documentation set.

Qlik Sense developers should review the What’s New section in the Qlik Sense for Developers
documentation set.

1.1 Visualizations and dashboards

New customization options for filter panes
App developers now have new ways to customize the appearance and functionality of filter panes. The listbox
for each field or master dimension in a filter pane can be customized individually with multiple new
properties. The following options are available:

l Hide the displayed title of the field.

l Remove search functionality for the field, or switch to Wildcard mode (inserts * characters around
string).
l Compact view for optimizing space between values.
l Checkbox mode for alternative selection method.
l Histogram view to display the frequency of each value in the data.
l Grid layout with custom ordering and display options.

Styling improvements to charts

New styling improvements are available for several Qlik Sense charts, giving app developers more
customization options when building visualizations, allowing them to conform to company, department, or
personal style standards and preferences.

Line charts can display larger datasets

App developers can now control the number of visible points and lines displayed in line charts. The maximum
for visible points is 50,000. The maximum for visible lines is 1,000. These options are available for line charts
with a continuous dimension axis.

 1 What's new in Qlik Sense May 2023

A line chart with a large data set. This chart is set to display a maximum of 50 lines and 20,000 data points.

Add background colors and images to charts

App developers can now add a custom background color or image to straight tables, pivot charts, pie charts,
and bar charts. Any image in the media library can be used as a background. You can choose a single
background color or color by expression.

1.2 Advanced authoring

New chart functions for custom app navigation
The new chart functions ObjectId() and InObject() enable creation of guided applications with custom
navigation functionality. For example, you can use the functions in conditional expressions to create colored
buttons to navigate between sheets in an app.

The functions give access to the hierarchy of objects in a Qlik Sense app. ObjectId() will return the ID of the
object in which the expression is evaluated. The function takes one optional string parameter, which can
specify the type of the object you're looking for. ObjectId('sheet') will return the ID for the sheet of the
expression. InObject(ID) is true when evaluated inside an object with the specified ID.

1.3 Connectors
New Google Analytics 4 connector
The Google Analytics 4 connector extracts traffic and engagement metrics from your Google Analytics 4-
enabled websites and apps and loads that data into your Qlik Sense apps.

Google is replacing Universal Analytics with Google Analytics 4. For more information about this change, see
≤ Google Analytics Help.

documentation set.

Qlik Sense developers should review the What’s New section in the Qlik Sense for Developers
documentation set.

2.1 Augmented analytics

Add natural language insights to sheets
NL Insights is a new Dashboard bundle control that displays natural language insights about selected
dimensions and measures. This allows app developers to effectively share insights about data with their app
consumers. Insights includes analyses based on the data selected. App developers can remove unwanted
analyses if needed.

2.2 Visualizations and dashboards

New styling panel for visualizations
App developers can now style the font used for titles, subtitles, and footnotes, giving them more options for
customizing their visualizations. A new General tab provides options to change the font type, size, color, and
emphasis. The Chart tab controls styling of rows, scrollbars, and custom headers.

Scatter plots can display larger datasets

You can now control the number of visible bubbles displayed in scatter plots you create. Scatter plots can be
set to display up to 50,000 data points. If there are more than 5,000 visible bubbles, then bubble labels and
out of bound bubbles are not shown.

New sheet grid and sheet background options

Sheets can now have custom background images and colors, allowing you to divide your sheet into sections,
add images from your media library, and more. You can set a background color using the color picker, or by
expression.

App developers now have more control over object placement and sheet grid size to support advanced
formatting for presentations.

 2 What's new in Qlik Sense February 2023

Show gradual changes with chart animations

Chart animations are the gradual transitions in a visualization from the old view to the new view when data
has been changed, for example, after a selection has been made. Animations can be turned on or off under
app settings, in unpublished apps.

Animations can be controlled in the following chart types:

l Bar charts
l Bullet charts
l Combo charts
l Line charts
l Pie charts
l Scatter plots
l Funnel charts (Visualization bundle)
l Grid charts (Visualization bundle)
l Sankey charts (Visualization bundle)

2.3 Connectors
New ServiceNow ODBC Connector
You can now access data stored in ServiceNow. The new ServiceNow connector allows you to include
ServiceNow data, such as incidents, requests, and case records within your analysis. The new connector
includes security options such as OAuth or SSL to ensure that only authorized users can access this data.

New Amazon S3 connectors with enhanced security

Qlik Cloud has two new connectors: Amazon S3 Metadata V2 and Amazon S3 V2 Web storage provider. These
connectors are more secure because they use the Amazon S3 API to access your Amazon S3 metadata, such as
the names of files and subfolders in your Amazon S3 bucket. Previous versions of these connectors used the
REST API. For now, the initial release of the Amazon S3 connectors V2 and the existing Amazon S3 connectors
have the same capabilities. However, new capabilities will only be added to the V2 connectors going forward.

At some point in the future, the previous Amazon S3 connectors will no longer be supported.

3.1 Augmented analytics

Auto-generate an analysis using Insight Advisor Analysis Types
Let Insight Advisor auto-generate your analysis, complete with visualizations, narrative readouts, even entire
sheets. Choose the type of analysis from a variety of available options, such as comparison, ranking, trending
and more. Select your data with guidance from Insight Advisor, and then let Insight Advisor generate the rest.
Edit the analysis and add it to dashboards for further exploration. With Analysis Types, Insight Advisor
supports multiple paths to insight including auto-analysis when you select fields, natural language search, and
now auto-generating the analysis when you select an analysis type, for a more directive approach.

Example questions in Insight Advisor

App creators can now provide example questions in Insight Advisor within the business logic layer of an app.
This allows them to customize the questions to their specific analytic content, and thereby help users learn
how to use natural language. When users ask questions, the examples appear in a drop-down menu from
which users can select, modify, and submit the question. In Insight Advisor Chat, example questions from
across your apps will be available.

Insight Advisor Search

Insight Advisor Search provides an improved Insight Advisor experience in-app, allowing users to easily auto-
generate the most relevant analyses and insights from their data. A new Discovery button opens Insight
Advisor, where users can select fields and generate insights without having to navigate away from their

customized, including defining vocabulary rules and synonyms for more natural interaction.

Insight Advisor Chat

Insight Advisor Chat is our next-generation, fully conversational analytics experience native to Qlik Sense,
available in the Qlik Sense hub. It is driven by our cognitive engine and uses natural-language processing and
generation (NLP and NLG) to understand user intent and generate both narrative and visual responses to
questions. It works across Qlik Sense apps and allows people to transition directly to in-app, search-based
visual analysis for deeper exploration. Released in September on SaaS, it is now offered as a licensed, value-
added product for Qlik Sense on Windows, replacing Qlik Insight Bot. The Windows version supports
integrations with Microsoft Teams and Slack.

K-means Clustering - Expanded Functionality

K-means clustering on-board the Qlik Engine was released in September. This function allows data points to
be grouped into clusters based on similarity. It’s a highly useful function for customer segmentation, fraud
detection, and many other use cases.

In this release, we have improved our KMeans functions with auto-clustering support. When a user sets 0 for
the number of clusters, an optimal number of clusters for that dataset is calculated. This enhancement builds
on Qlik's advanced clustering capabilities.

Insight Advisor visualization alternatives

Insight Advisor now offers alternative visualization options for results generated in search-based analysis,
helping to ensure your data is displayed in the most useful and meaningful way. In addition, users will have

14.1 Visualizations and dashboards

This release brings many new visualization features and styling options to Qlik Sense, letting you create more
advanced and customized analytics. We have added an organization chart (Org chart) to the visualization
bundle, and you can now add a relative modifier to bar charts, combo charts, line charts, and tables. In
addition, we have made improvements to tables, pivot tables, KPIs, maps, and custom tooltips, and we have
enhanced app navigation.

Visualizations
Organization chart
We have enhanced our visualization bundle by adding a new chart to represent organizations. The org chart
lets you create organization charts from data with a tree structure. You can navigate through the hierarchy by
expanding and collapsing the tree.

Search in tables
In addition to the standard search by a URL link, you can now search by a link label in a table. There is also
the option to disengage native scroll on touch to enable first column freeze.

Pivot table improvements

There are two improvements to pivot tables:
l You can now save your pivot table layout state. This lets you store expanded or collapsed nodes as a
bookmark. This improvement is ideal for sharing views of large pivot tables with many nodes.
l You can now sort by first measure. This sorting method precedes all other sorting. This lets you sort
categories differently, for example, sorting category by sales rather than by name.

Map chart improvements

We have made several enhancements to map layer properties. Now, you have number formatting options in
the map chart for color and size by measure. We have increased the limit of items on point and area map
layers to 50,000.

Relative modifier (percentages)

The relative modifier provides you with a quick way to display the relative percentage of a measure, without
having to write expression syntax. You can use it to see the impact of specific selections, relative to the
selection, relative to the total, or relative to other fields. This is available as a setting is available in bar charts,
combo charts, line charts, and tables.

Dashboards and applications

Tooltip customization
You can now choose to exclude default measures in tooltips. You can also hide all or part of the tooltips from
a visualization.

Themes and styling

KPI font layout
You have new options when choosing the layout behavior for fonts in KPIs. You can choose a fixed layout
(same text size always), fluid layout (text size depends on box size), or responsive layout (adapts to the size of
the box and the length of text).

14.2 Advanced authoring

App distribution into spaces
In a multi-cloud deployment, you have additional controls over content distribution policies. You can now
send staged apps from a Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows environment directly to a managed space in Qlik
Sense Enterprise SaaS, for broader consumption across the organization. These apps are also refreshed in the
managed space after they are reloaded in the Windows environment.

Publishing to cloud hubs

Share bookmarks
To improve collaboration, we have added a new way to share bookmarks in published apps. You can copy a
link to a community bookmark, which can then be shared in other channels such as email or Slack.

We have improved NLP in the Qlik cognitive engine with better pattern detection, driving more relevant
insight suggestions.

Natural language support

Natural language support in Insights is enabled for new installs of Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows. It is
possible to enable it when upgrading an existing install, but this requires the server SSL certificates to be
replaced. Also, we have improved Natural Language Insights with better pattern detection across all
platforms.

Extended chart support in Insights

Support is added for Radar chart in Insights. Users will see this when there are 2 dimensions with 12 or fewer
values, and a measure. The distinct ratio between the values on the first dimension must be below 0.3.

15.2 Visualizations and dashboards

This release brings many new visualization features and styling options to Qlik Sense, allowing users to create
more advanced and customized analytics. We have added trendlines, indicators in tables, moving average and
difference modifiers, custom tooltips, and a duplicate function for measures – all driven by customer
feedback. New styling options include dimension, header and cell options for pivot tables, a new action
button with improved styling, line options for the line chart, custom sorting in the funnel chart, and font
family support in custom themes. And we have made improvements to mapping functionality and
presentation. With these features, we have once again expanded the quality and power of the visualization
and dashboarding capabilities in Qlik Sense.

15.3 Data management, connectivity and integration

With this release, we expanded the integration between Qlik Sense and Qlik Catalog, as well as overall Qlik
Sense connectivity.

QVD Catalog Browsing within Qlik Sense via Qlik Catalog

Since the June 2019 release, Qlik Catalog has had the ability to ingest, profile, refine, catalog and publish data
stored within QVD files. That was supplemented by the introduction of a new offering in September 2019 that
is solely focused on helping Qlik customers organize and find the QVD files – Qlik Catalog for QVDs. We have
now additionally strengthened the integration between Qlik Sense and Qlik Catalog by introducing a new
capability in Qlik Sense February 2020. For customers that have Qlik Sense and either Qlik Catalog product,
Qlik Sense users will now be able to view the QVD catalog from within the Qlik Sense data manager. This now
allows any Qlik Sense user to take advantage of Qlik Catalog within leaving their familiar Qlik Sense
environment.

Exclude map layers from auto-zoom

The ability to exclude map layers from auto zoom gives more layout control in the map chart. When building
map applications, it is sometimes important to exclude layers from zoom, typically background layers such as
grid layers, background/cad drawings, etc. The default behavior is to zoom out so all layers are visible.

Trellis container improvements, an enhancement to the visualization

Default Landing Sheets
Building upon the ability to apply predefined selections when a user opens a Qlik Sense application, Qlik
Sense September 2019 enables developers to choose a landing sheet to direct the user to a specific sheet. This
action can be combined with predefined selections to provide the desired focal point in the analysis process
for users, which enhances the Guided Analytics experience in Qlik Sense.

Increased Search Limit on Filter Panes

The limit of search values on a filter pane has been increased to 5,000 characters, allowing more values to be
selected in bulk. Previously, search values on a filter pane had a limit of 255 characters, which prevented users
from copying and pasting a large number of distinct values to apply selections on a field.

Expression Promotion
This feature provides a fast and efficient way to promote a dimension or measure created in an object to a
master item. With this capability, application creators have a better workflow when creating and testing
expressions that will be later used across the entire application, increasing productivity and driving reuse.

17.2 Visualizations and Mapping

Location finder
The map chart now features a new option to show your location. A new button allows users to fetch their
location from the device being used when the button is clicked, it then adds an icon to the map, and zooms to
the user’s current location. Users can now perform location-based search using the circle select, which
delivers value in mobile and field use cases. Due to security reasons, the Qlik Sense Mobile Client Managed
app for iOS currently does not support this feature. This functionality can however be accessed through the
mobile browser on iOS.

Variance Waterfall Chart

The Variance Waterfall is a new chart in the visualization bundle that provides variance analysis between two
measures shown over the different values of a dimension. This type of chart is typically used in financial actual
versus forecast analysis. This highly requested chart type provides a more robust financial charting option and
fills an important gap for financial analysis.

Pie chart styling

This release features new styling options for the pie chart in the same fashion as the bar chart. These include
the ability to tune the pie chart outline width, color, corner radius and inner radius, which gives the user a
variety of options to improve the style, look, and feel of the chart. This helps customers moving from QlikView

Native container object

The container object extension was first released as part of the Dashboard bundle, and was very well received
for the flexibility it adds to a Qlik Sense application sheet space. The Qlik Sense June 2019 release brings the
first ever release of a native Container object, providing the existing functionality from the extension, while
adding better integration capabilities with other authoring actions. This first release of the native container
object will not support Qlik NPrinting, but this is planned for future releases.

With the release of the native container object, current applications using the existing extension objects will
continue to work as before but the two Container Object extensions available in the Dashboard bundle will no
longer be listed as new object options for applications.

21.1 Advancements to Augmented intelligence

Precedent based learning
The time has come for us to unveil Qlik SenseNovember 2018. We are are introducing Machine Learning with
precedent/application learning capabilities, leveraging information from users’ interactions with the product
to feed the cognitive engine for smarter insights and results.

Insight advisor light authoring

Users can now do light authoring with insight advisor. This capability lets users change the suggested
visualizations and analytics offered by the cognitive engine, giving greater flexibility and control when
discovering insights.

21.2 New advanced authoring features

Alternate states
We have exposed the alternate states functionality that was previously only available through API calls.
Alternate states let you create visualizations for comparative analysis based on a state other than the default
selection state. Alternate states are a new type of master item, and once created, they can be applied on
sheets or visualization objects using the new alternate state option, located under Appearance. With this
feature, you can make different selections on the same dimension and compare them in a single visualization,
or in two or more visualizations side by side. You can also an alternate state to an expression, using set
analysis. This allows for complex comparative analysis.

Exposed set analysis

This feature makes it easier for developers to create expressions with the correct set analysis syntax.

Set expression improvements

Set expression in the expression editor dialog has been improved.

Single selection in fields

This capability supports guided analytics use cases in which a single selection will change the analysis flow.
The new Qlik Sense field settings allow developers to enable the "always one selected value" for a particular
field. The ability to always have one selected value can be used in applications that require better control for
conditions in expressions, localization requirements, and other guided analytics use cases.

New multiple-table structure for Qlik DataMarket data sets

A multiple-table structure increases the efficiency with which data is loaded, and it can improve the data
associations.

When data is loaded from a Qlik DataMarket data set, it is allocated to multiple individual tables. These tables
are associated by generated key fields. Measures and time periods from the data set are consolidated in one
table that is assigned the name of the data set. Dimension fields are allocated to individual tables.
