Instant App



The Instant Sense Application is a template that can be loaded with any data source, and a set of metadata, to create a working application in just minutes. These blog posts give some examples of how it can be used.

Change to Qlik SaaS Licences API Endpoint

There is a massive amount of information that can be loaded directly into your Sense apps from the Qlik Cloud API. If you have been loading from the Licences endpoint though you may have noticed a change to the response since yesterday. The userId and name fields in the response have now been replaced with subject, potentially breaking your script. […]

Instant Qlik Sense Application Changes in 2022

A few years ago I created the Instant Sense Application, a template application with twelve sheets of analysis, which allows me to load in any data source and roll it out at a client. To enable any Sense user to be able to do the same I made the application free to download from our website. The application evolves as new features are required and when Qlik brings in new features to Sense itself. This posts rolls up some of the changes in the past year or so. […]

Back Up Qlik Sense Enterprise Client Managed Applications

It is common to back up Qlik Sense Client Managed servers at a server level, often with a virtual machine snapshot. Applications can be backed up by having copies of them in different streams or work areas on the server. Apps can be exported one application at a time using the Export function, which is time consuming. Or a file level backup can be made by copying the repository, but apps are hard to identify as they all have a GUID for the name. This post looks at a simple way that all apps can be copied to a different location, as a QVF file, with a sensible file name. […]

Loading Data from Online CSV Sources into Qlik

There are myriad different data sources out there, and it is possible to load any of them into Qlik. Some are easier than others, sure, but there is always a way. There are good articles and posts on some of the trickier sources, but today I want to show you how you can bring in CSV data from GitHub. This means you can pull up to date, crowdsourced and governed data directly into your applications, just by following these simple steps. […]

Analysing Sense Session Logs

There are a number of monitoring apps that ship with Qlik Sense Enterprise on Premise, some of which you need to upload to your site. All of these are black-boxes to an extent though. What if you want to build your own analysis over the Sense log files? Well, this blog post has you covered. […]

Reading RSS Feeds with Qlik REST Connector

Qlik Sense can consume data from just about any data source and present it visually. One rich source of data you may not have considered though is the RSS feed for a blog. This can, however, be loaded by Sense just like any other source. This blog post describes how and gives the code for reading from WordPress (and perhaps other) RSS feeds. […]

Instant Qlik Sense Application

Over the years I’ve gathered a number of bits of code that I have reused, across both QlikView and Sense. Something that is always helpful is allowing users to pick expressions and/or dimensions in their applications. Recently I decided to pull the most useful techniques into a single app, which you can download and use. This post introduces the QI Instant Sense Application and describes a bit about how it works. […]
