Field tracker

The Field Tracker module (previously called the GDPR module) allows you to keep track of the personal data stored in your Qlik Solution.

The report contains information that will aid you answering the following questions:

  • Who can currently access the data?

  • Who has accessed the data in the past?

  • What is the purpose of the data storage?

  • Where is the data located?

Click on the three horizontal bars in the top-left corner to open the navigation menu. Under the heading “Add-ons and Integrations” you will find the Field Tracker.

Enter Field Tracker

The Field Tracker can be found under Add-ons and Integrations in the drop-down menu found at the top left of the screen.

Enter the Field Tracker module and create a new report by selecting the plus sign and filling in the required fields.
