Introduction :

In February 2023, Qlik released a series of updates for its Qlik Sense and Qlik Cloud platforms. These updates bring new features and improvements, offering users and developers even more control over the customization and management of their dashboards. So, a little late, we’ll tell you all about these new features!

What’s new in Qlik Sense – (Users/Developers):

1. Customization of font  ❤️

It is now possible to customize the font used for titles, subtitles, and footnotes in their visualizations using a new general tab that offers options to change font type, size, and color.

This may seem basic, but it is actually a real revolution in Qlik Sense.

These features were present in Qlikview and also in Power BI: they are finally available in Qlik Sense on-premise! Our retail clients will be very happy with this news.

Everything is customizable: Pivot tables, simple tables, box plots, combined charts, distribution charts, gauges, histograms, key performance indicators, waterfall charts…

2. Control of the number of bubbles

You can now control the number of bubbles displayed in the scatter charts you create. These charts can display up to 50,000 data points, but if more than 5,000 bubbles are visible, bubble labels and those that are out of bounds are not displayed.

3. Another highlight  ❤️of this review:

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

4. Control

• More control over the placement of objects and the size of the sheet grid to support advanced presentation formatting.

• Control of graphical transitions. Gradual transitions in a visualization from the old view to the new view when data has been modified, for example, after a selection. Animations can be enabled or disabled in the application settings, in unpublished applications.
  

  5. ServiceNow ODBC connector

You can now access data stored in ServiceNow.

New features in Qlik Sense (Administrators):

1. ⚠️Version 9.6 of PostgreSQL will no longer be supported.

It is important to note that version 9.6 of PostgreSQL will no longer be supported. To continue to receive full support, it is recommended to use the Qlik PostgreSQL installer to upgrade their database. We suggest that customers schedule an appointment with us for upgrading their PostgreSQL version to ensure optimal platform performance.

2. During a silent installation, configuration files will no longer be overwritten.

New features in Qlik Cloud:

1. Centralized page

Addition of a centralized page for monitoring automations: we love it! ❤️

2. Control of visible number of points and lines

You can now control the number of visible points and lines displayed in line charts, with a maximum of 50,000 points and 1,000 lines for continuous dimension axes.

3. Font customization like in Qlik Sense

Customize the font used for titles, subtitles, and footnotes in tables, scatter plots, and text/image objects.

4. Background color/image customization ❤️

So many favorites in this review! The background color or custom image in simple tables, pivot charts, pie charts, and bar charts can be customized.

5. Qlik business Glossery ❤️
