Assets panel

The assets panel provides a set of items you can use in your visualizations when you develop an app, or create a sheet in a published app. It contains the available charts, master items, and data fields in the app. The assets panel is shown on the left-hand side of the sheet you are editing.

You can save visualizations, dimensions and measures that you want to reuse as master items. These can be edited and updated across all instances in an app.

The assets panel contains the following sections:

H Fields (not available in a published app)

All fields in the data model of the app.

See: Fields

When the Filter by table list displays All tables, all data fields in the app are listed. You can select a table from the list if you want to focus on the fields from that specific table.

You can drag and drop fields into the sheet to create visualizations with Qlik Sense chart suggestions.

See: Creating visualizations using chart suggestions.

When you click a field, you can create a measure by clicking 3 or create a dimension by clicking ò. The new measure or dimension is added to the master items. Click to add the field to the selected visualization, or to the sheet if no visualization is selected.

You can create calendar measures by right-clicking a field and selecting Create calendar measures. Calendar measures are added to the master items.

See: Create calendar measures

All date fields are marked with G and can be expanded to use date & time attributes of the field. Date & time attributes are created automatically when you use Add data. If you used the data load script to load data, you need to create the date & time attributes using derived fields.

See: Date & time fields

All fields recognized as geopoints in map visualizations are marked with ,.

See: Loading your own map data

You can also add new data to the app with the Add button at the bottom, and refresh the data in the app.

See: Adding data to the app

é Master items

This is where you create and save reusable dimensions, measures and visualizations as master items.

See: Reusing assets with master items

See: Dimensions

See: Measures

See: Creating a visualization using master items

5 Charts A list of all the different chart types you can use to build visualizations. These are included in Qlik Sense by default. When you have added a chart to a sheet, you can add dimensions and measures to it to connect it to the data model.

See: Visualizations

g Custom objects

You can enhance your apps with custom-designed visualization extensions and widgets.

See: Creating a visualization using a custom object

The search field at the top of the assets panel helps you find assets on the different tabs. As you start to type in the search field, all items that have a name or a tag that contains the search string, are presented.
