Activity centers
Activity centers provide logical groupings of content in Qlik Cloud based on user activities. This replaces the previous platform hub experience in Qlik Cloud. Each activity center has its own Home page and its own sections, with some overlap for shared activities.
You will only see the activity centers to which your user role and space permissions give you access. For example, if you have an Analyzer entitlement, you would only see the Insights activity center in Qlik Cloud. If you were added to a shared space and given permission to create content in that space, you would then see the Analytics activity center as well.
There are four activity centers in Qlik Cloud:
-
Insights
-
Analytics
-
Data Integration
-
Administration
