Augmented analytics
Insight Advisor is no longer available with Qlik Sense Desktop
Insight Advisor, including business logic, is no longer supported with Qlik Sense Desktop. In November 2022, Insight Advisor will be upgraded to a new experience. This will only be available on Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows. Users who want to continue using Insight Advisor and Business Logic on Qlik Sense Desktop should not upgrade to August 2022.
Chart level scripting
Chart level scripting is a powerful feature that allows you to modify the dynamic dataset behind a chart using a subset of the Qlik scripting language, with techniques such as variables and loops. You can add or modify rows and columns that were not in the original dataset. This allows for calculations in chart expressions that were previously not possible, such as simulations or goal-seeking.
Visualizations and dashboards
Styling panel for bar and pie charts
App developers can now style the font used for titles, subtitles, and footnotes in bar and pie charts, giving them more options for customizing their visualizations. A new General tab provides options to change the font type, size, color, and emphasis. The Chart tab controls styling of the bars in the bar chart and the styling of slices in pie charts.
New chart and script functions to support JSON
New functions have been introduced to support the testing, validation, and modification of JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) data: IsJson, JsonGet, JsonSet.
New inner and outer set expressions in set analysis
Outer set expressions simplify governance of Qlik Sense applications. It is particularly helpful when working with complex master measures that come in different flavors of one base measure.
You can now use set expressions to tweak the base master measure, for example {<Year={2021}>} [Master Measure].
Connectors
Office 365 SharePoint Metadata Connector supports new tables
The Office 365 SharePoint Metadata connector has been updated to support access to Microsoft SharePoint lists and views. The following new tables can now be loaded in the Data manager or the Data load editor: Views and ItemsFromList.
Qlik Web Connectors included in Qlik Sense Enterprise Client-Managed
The following Qlik Web Connectors are now available in Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows in the same way as in Qlik Sense SaaS, without the need for Qlik Web Connectors to be separately installed.
Documentation improvements and additions
Scripting help improvements
Scripting topics covering date and time functions, number interpretation, and scripting prefixes have been improved. Qlik Sense Help has added new examples to the documentation.
