Business logic fine grain controls in Insight Advisor

When you create behaviors such as default calendar periods, you can now specify whether to use or ignore the grain for a particular analysis, providing more advanced fine grain controls.

Favorites in the hub

Mark your private or any published apps as favorite for easy access in the hub. Favorite apps are marked with a Star icon and display in the new Favorites section. This section is visible in the hub only when at least one app is marked as a favorite.

Scatterplot now supports regression lines

The redesigned scatterplot chart provides greater flexibility and detail. Scatterplot now supports regression lines, including average, linear, exponential, and logarithmic, as well as second, third, and fourth polynomial.

KPI background color and new icons

Now you can add background colors to KPI charts, giving you more flexibility when customizing your visualizations. An extensive array of new icons has also been added to the existing icon set.

Uploading apps with GeoAnalytics extensions to Qlik Cloud

To help customers who are transitioning to Qlik Cloud, there is a 12-month grace period for apps that use GeoAnalytics extensions and have been uploaded to Qlik Cloud from other versions of Qlik Sense. Following the grace period, you can use the map chart in Qlik Cloud, which is faster, easier to use, prints better and includes more features.

Connectors

Qlik Web Connectors included in Qlik Sense Enterprise Client-Managed

The Qlik Web Storage Provider Connectors are now available in Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows in the same way as in Qlik Sense SaaS. The corresponding metadata connectors are also integrated, without the need for Qlik Web Connectors to be separately installed. These connectors allow you to connect to file-based data stored on a web storage provider, either by browsing for folders and files directly in the interface, or using the separate metadata connectors listing the structures and objects in tables. The web storage provider platforms supported are Amazon S3, Azure Storage, Dropbox, Google Cloud Storage, Google Drive, Office 365 SharePoint, and OneDrive.

Support for uploading Oracle Wallets

The Qlik Oracle Connector now provides additional security capabilities with support for uploading an Oracle Wallet file. Oracle Wallets are containers that store authentication credentials, private keys, certificates, and more. This allows organizations to easily enforce security rules based on defined user privileges contained in an Oracle Wallet. The Qlik Oracle Connector can now access Oracle Wallets through a TLS-encrypted communication channel.
