Loading analytics data

Qlik Cloud Analytics lets you to connect to your data, wherever it is stored, with a wide range of Qlik Connectors and other data connection types.

When you create a data connection it is saved, so you can quickly select and load data from the data sources that you commonly use.

Adding and loading data

There are different ways you can add and load data.

  • Add data to spaces

    You can add data files and data connections directly in spaces. You can also add data sources when managing spaces. Once data sources are added to a space, you can load data from them in your apps and scripts. Apps can use Data Catalog, data manager or data load editor. Scripts can use Script editor.

    If you have on-premise data sources you want to use in your tenant, you can upload them using Qlik DataTransfer. For more information, see Uploading on-premises data with Qlik DataTransfer.
