or List 
view.
Apps and other content can be sorted alphabetically, by creation date, by modification date, or recently used. You can filter content by those you own or by those others own.
The catalog uses filters to help you find the content available to you in Qlik Cloud. Catalog filtering is designed to reduce time spent managing and browsing for content with improved search accuracy.
The top filter bar provides the following filters:
- Content search: Enter a term to be searched on such as a word or phrase in the title of the dataset.
- Spaces: Filter on spaces to search and browse. Filter on Personal to see only your own private work area or All to see everyone's work. The five most Recently viewed spaces are listed first. If the tenant has less than 100 spaces, spaces are then categorized by type: Shared, Managed, and Data.
- Types: Select one or more content types including: Charts, Apps, Data, Scripts, Data flows, Notes, Links, Automations, ML deployments, ML experiments, Glossaries, Assistants, Knowledge bases, and Data products.
- Owner: Filter on content owners. Options include: Anyone, You, Others, and by user name.
- All filters: Select All filters to display the left side panel. When the left side panel is active the All filters box is grayed out. The box displays the number of active filters.
- Order search results by Recently used, Last created, Last modified, or Alphabetical.
Select All filters to open the left-hand panel with additional filters:
- Spaces: Filter on spaces to search and browse.
- Types: Select one or more content types including: Charts, Applications, Data, Scripts, Data flows, Notes, Links, Automations, ML deployments, ML experiments, Glossaries, Assistants, Knowledge bases, and Data products.
- Owner: Filter on content owners. Options include: Anyone, You, Others, and by user name.
- Creator: Filter on content creators. Options include: Anyone, You, and Others.
- Tags: Search on any user-defined tags that have been applied to datasets.
Spaces
Spaces are areas where apps and other content are stored. Spaces can be personal, shared, or managed.
All users have a personal space where apps they create are stored by default. Personal spaces are private. You can share your personal content by moving them to a shared space.
Users with the Shared Space Creator role can create shared spaces. Shared spaces are private when first created. Shared spaces allow collaborative development of apps and other content. Spaces also limit access to apps in the space. Access to apps in the space is granted by adding members to the space.
Managed spaces can be created by tenant or analytics administrators, or users with the Managed Space Creator role. Managed spaces are used to provide strictly controlled access to apps that might have sensitive data. Apps are developed in other spaces and then published to the managed space.
You can select spaces to which you have access from the drop-down in Catalog.
For information on spaces, see:
Data marketplace
In Data marketplace, you can browse, view and consume your curated and activated data products. For more information, see Consuming in the data marketplace.
Data products
In Data products, you can gather and package trusted datasets related to the same domain, or any grouping that makes sense for your business. You can also view, update, and deactivate your data products. For more information, see Working with data products.
Data quality
In Data quality, you can access several tabs that allow you to configure quality settings for your data:
-
Semantic types: From this tab you can create semantic types and manage the values for each of them. Semantic types are automatically assigned to each dataset column during data discovery. For more information, see Managing semantic types.
-
Validation rules: From this tab you can create validation rules and manage the conditions for each of them. Validation rules are a set of business requirements which helps you detect anomalies in datasets. For more information, see Working with validation rules.
-
Qlik Trust Score™: From this tab you can configure the dimensions that are used to calculate the trust score of your datasets and data products. The Qlik Trust Score™ aggregates several metrics into a single score, providing visibility on the healthiness of your data. For more information, see Qlik Trust Score™.
Collections
Collections enable you to group content such as apps, charts, notes, and links.
To add content to a collection, click > Manage > Add to collection on any content type.
If you are using the Qlik Analytics mobile app, you also have a Mobile Content collection. Apps that you have opened in the Qlik Analytics mobile app are automatically added to Mobile Content.
By default, collections are private. Tenant admins, analytics admins, and other designated users can make collections public to share them with all other members of the tenant. Public collections do not change members' access to content in spaces. Members will only be able to see content in public collections to which they already have access.
To make a collection public, click on the collection, select Make public, and click Make public. To make a public collection private again, click , select Make private, and click Make private.
For more information, see Managing public collections.
