Activity centers

Activity centers provide logical groupings of Qlik Cloud Analytics and Qlik Talend Data Integration content based on user roles and activities. This replaces the previous platform hub experience in Qlik Cloud. Each activity center has its own Home and sections, with overlap for shared activities.

You can navigate between your activity centers from the Navigation menu navigation menu. Qlik Cloud users are increasingly using both Qlik Cloud Analytics and Qlik Talend Data Integration to take advantage of Qlik's unified end-to-end platform for real-time data integration and analytics.

You can only access the activity centers relevant to your user entitlement, roles, and space permissions. For example, if you have an Analyzer entitlement, you will only see the Insights activity center in Qlik Cloud. If you were given the Steward role and added to a shared space, you would then see the Analytics activity center as you can now create and upload glossaries.

Information noteThe functionality you see in Qlik Cloud depends on your user entitlement and the space permissions assigned to you. Content in screenshots may vary from what you see depending on your user entitlement and space permissions.
