Streams
Qlik Sense streams allow us to categorize apps based on the intended audience.
All available streams will be housed on the Qlik Sense hub page.
Apps
Qlik Sense apps are similar to dashboards. They contain tables and visualizations which present curated data on different subjects, allowing users to analyze performance and make informed business decisions.
...
Sheets
Sheets in Qlik Sense allow us to breakout and focus on different concepts within one overall subject. Users can make selections and interact with the tables and visuals presented in each tab.
All available sheets within an app will be housed on the app overview page.
...
Navigation Basics
Once you select a sheet you will be able to scroll back and forth between all the sheets within the app by selecting the arrows on the top right-hand corner of the sheet. Selections will hold across sheets.
...
If you are in a sheet and you would like to get back to the app overview, select the ellipsis (3 dots) and select ‘app overview.’ To go back to the Qlik hub, Hit the ‘Qlik’ logo on the top left.
...
Selections
Selections allow you to filter the information shown within the sheets of an app.
...
Once you are done, simply click on
again on the top right-hand side. Your custom selections will appear on the top of the sheet. To remove these selections, select the ‘x’. Replacing the ‘swirly arrow’ - There is no ‘swirly arrow’ or cyclic view in Qlik Sense (a favorite from the QlikView days)
However, pivot tables and container objects fulfill a similar function as they allow you to breakdown your data by different dimensions.
...
Pivot tables
Allow you to view breakdowns by multiple dimensions, vs. the swirly arrow where you could only select one dimension at a time.
In the left-hand corner of the pivot table, you will see the available dimensions. You can rearrange these dimensions as desired and then expand and collapse each dimension via the + and – symbols along the left-hand side.
...
Container Objects
Allows us to present data organized by different dimensions on different ‘tabs’ within one visualization/object
Users can simply click on the tab header of the desired dimension to get the information
...
Exporting to Excel
While Qlik Sense allows you to work with and analyze your data within the platform through BI created charts and visualizations that you can also customize, if you find yourself in a situation where you need the data in excel you can easily export the data
Right click on the chart or visualization that you would like to download
Select ‘download as’
...
Note that this will export the raw data and not the visualization/formatting
To download the actual visualization, you can select the image or pdf options
Another call out: if you have a visualization that you would like download as a table instead you would right click – select view data – and then it will flip to table and you can export from there
...
Bookmarking
Bookmarks are shortcuts to a certain set of selections and chart expansions.
Once you’ve made your desired selections to your sheet(s) for your bookmark, select the “bookmark" label on the top righthand side of the sheet, select the ‘create new bookmark’ icon and name and create your bookmark.
