|
| It is possible to connect to Google BigQuery databases using Direct Query. |
For performance reasons, we often have to create multiple applications for a single project. The ability to integrate elements from multiple applications into a single report with Qlik Automation is a great new feature for Qlik Cloud developers.
In our last Qlik Cloud Release note, we saw the ability to customize certain elements like buttons and KPIs. The Qlik Cloud team adds this time a variety of options to style your graphs in donut. Improvements expected by our consultants, to produce visually enhanced reports, but which will also benefit our customers.
In terms of administrator management, we appreciate the possibility of using personal encryption keys via the Customer Managed Key to ensure control over the data. This is a good way for companies to retain sovereignty over their information and better control access to their database.
Finally, the ODBC connector continues to be improved, which allows, at our level, to gain in efficiency by reducing the data loading time, especially on large projects.
