November 2, 2021: What’s New in Qlik Cloud?

Hosting expands to Singapore

Qlik now provides a new cloud region in Singapore to support the growing demand for customers to rapidly innovate with data and technology for analytics in the Asia Pacific (APAC) region. This new region is the second of two cloud regions in APAC and the fourth globally, following cloud regions in Australia, Ireland, and the United States. Organizations based in Singapore and the APAC region can now store and deploy data for analytics locally at scale, ensuring optimal operational performance and data compliance with the inherent cost savings of the cloud. Storing data in a local cloud allows customers to effectively meet the analytics needs of their users across the region, with faster access and lower latency.

View data connections by space

Users with access to many spaces and connections can now view data connections by space in the Data load editor. By default, connections in their Personal space are loaded. Organizing connections by spaces improves load time and provides greater control over the connections you want to view. The new spaces list is also available in the Data manager when adding data.

Set analysis

Set analysis lets you define a set (or group) of data values different from the normal set defined by the current selections. This is useful if you want to compare the current selection with a particular value. For example, last year’s value or the global market share.

The set analysis documentation in Qlik Sense Help has been expanded and now includes examples.
