Navigating in the user interface

Qlik Sense is a web-based application with a number of different views to work in.

Hubs are your starting point and where you will see all your apps. You can view and interact with apps in any hub. You create new apps in the Qlik Sense Enterprise hub.

In the Qlik Sense Enterprise hub, you can create, develop, publish, and consume apps, depending on the privileges assigned to you by your Qlik Sense administrator.

Depending on how your organization has deployed Qlik Sense Enterprise, you may also have one or more cloud hubs. Your administrator will provide you with a web address to start using Qlik Sense. That address will determine the hub that opens for you.

You can view and interact with apps in the cloud hub. You can also create, develop, and share apps, depending on your user role and permissions in the space to which you have access. User roles are assigned by your tenant administrator. Space permissions are assigned by space owners and administrators.

The hub

The hub is your starting point and it is where you find all your apps.
