Accelerated self-service with Qlik Sense chart suggestions
Qlik Sense chart suggestions make it easier to create a visualization by allowing you to simply drag and drop fields onto your sheets. Chart suggestions are created using the Cognitive Engine in Qlik, which leverages insights from the data loaded and combines them with best practices for data visualization.

Linking Qlik Sense Mobile to third-party applications
Qlik Sense Mobile can now interact with third party mobile applications through a custom generated URL (deep link). The link can be embedded within the third party mobile application, with appropriate selections and filters. Clicking the link opens the app in Qlik Sense Mobile with the filters and selections that were applied during original presentation. As a result, user experience is improved and context is provided when interacting with the app.
Deploy
Deployment improvement
From Qlik SenseApril 2018 it is no longer necessary to use port 4244 as the authentication port. If you are using SSL to protect your environment, you can use port 443 as an external facing port for the Qlik Sense Proxy service (QPS).
Per-app VPN mode for Qlik Sense Mobile
Qlik Sense Mobile now works in a per-app VPN mode with the appropriate VMware Workspace ONE tunnel components. This helps secure network traffic between Qlik Sense Mobile and Qlik Sense Enterprise deployed behind a corporate firewall. With this addition, it is no longer necessary for device network traffic to go through a VPN. Only Qlik Sense Mobile apps are routed through the VPN, reducing load on the VPN server.
Administer
Allocations for new license types
Customers who have purchased Qlik Sense with support for the new Professional and Analyzer license types can now configure the allocation of these licenses in the QMC.
Analytic connections improvement
With Qlik SenseApril 2018, Qlik Sense Enterprise administrators now have the ability to add, remove, and reconfigure Analytic connections without additional restarts of any service becoming required for the Analytic connections to function. Administrators now can also stop and start any services in any order without impacting the Analytic connection functionality. Advanced Qlik Sense Desktop users can now develop and use Analytic connections even when the SSE server implementing the Analytic connection is started after the Qlik engine.
