Which data sources are available to me?

What data source types are available to you depends on a number of factors:

• Access settings

  Administrator settings determine which types of data sources you can connect to.

• Installed connectors

  Qlik Sense contains built-in support for many data sources. Built-in connectors are installed automatically by Qlik Sense. To connect to additional data sources you may need to install connectors separately that are specifically for those data sources. Such separately installed connectors are supplied by Qlik or a third party.

  Qlik Connectors help.

• Local file availability

  Local files on your desktop computer are only available in Qlik Sense Desktop. They are not available for use with a server installation of Qlik Sense.

  Tip noteIf you have local files that you want to load on a server installation of Qlik Sense, you need to attach the files to the application, or transfer the files to a folder available to the Qlik Sense server, preferably a folder that is already defined as a folder data connection.
