Qlik Sense continues to be one of the leading Business Intelligence platforms, thanks to new features that enhance data loading efficiency, dashboard customization, and system integration. In this article, we explore the main updates released in the first two versions of Qlik Sense for 2024: from the new app preload option and support for nested Parquet files to visualization improvements through the Layout Container and advanced support for the SAP ODP Connector.
The latest Updates in Qlik Sense
Layout Container for Improved Visualization Layouts
With the new Layout Container component, you can position charts within the page without being constrained by Qlik Sense’s traditional grid structure. This allows for more attractive interfaces, including overlapping charts, icons, and other object types.
App Preload in Qlik Sense: Increased Speed and Efficiency
With Qlik Sense’s new app preload feature, you can configure and prepare dataset loading to make them immediately available within the application. The Qlik Management Console now allows you to create preload tasks in the “Preload Tasks” section. This function enables you to schedule data loading directly into RAM, reducing wait times when opening the application.
Support for Nested Parquet Files: Enhanced Analysis
The Qlik Sense associative engine has expanded support for Parquet files, now allowing you to load and store nested fields directly from the editor. This feature improves the management of complex and structured datasets, maintaining high efficiency in analysis and providing richer and more detailed insights from your data.
Visualizations and Dashboards: New Customization Options
Qlik Sense’s updates for 2024 include several improvements to visualizations and dashboard customization options:
- Background Opacity: you can now modify the opacity of the background color of visual objects, enhancing the aesthetic of your dashboards.
- Button Enhancement: navigation buttons have been improved to allow direct navigation to a specific chart on another sheet.
- Improvements to Straight and Pivot Tables: it is now possible to customize columns, URLs, measure formatting, and clickable values for greater interactivity.
Advanced Integration with SAP ODP Connector
The new version of Qlik Sense 2024 expands support for SAP systems with the integration of the SAP ODP Connector. This connector allows easy access to multiple data artifacts such as Extractors, CDS views, BW objects, and SAP HANA Views, improving the efficiency of data acquisition from SAP.
