Managing data

When you have created a Qlik Sense app, the first step is to add some data that you can explore and analyze. This section describes how to add and manage data, how to build a data load script for more advanced data models, how to view the resulting data model in the data model viewer, and presents best practices for data modeling in Qlik Sense.

There are two ways to add data to the app.

• Data manager

  You can add data from your own data sources, or from other sources such as Qlik DataMarket, without learning a script language. Data selections can be edited, and you can get assistance with creating data associations in your data model.

• Data load editor

  You can build a data model with ETL (Extract, Transform & Load) processes using the Qlik Sense data load script language. The script language is powerful and enables you to perform complex transformations and creating a scalable data model.
