September 8, 2022: What’s New in Qlik Cloud?

Additional language support in Insight Advisor

Insight Advisor now supports Swedish and Dutch languages for both natural language questions and answers with Search. This helps more users to take advantage of natural language analytics in the language of their choice.

Time series decomposition chart functions

Several new functions allow you to decompose a time series dataset into trend and seasonality. The trend function identifies direction in the data, and the seasonality function determines seasonality with a known periodicity. The residual function identifies variation that is not associated with seasonal or trend components (noise). With these functions, you now have increased visibility into the patterns and trends in your time series data so you can better plan future action.

• STL_Trend – chart function

• STL_Seasonal – chart function

• STL_Residual – chart function

Field-level lineage and impact analysis

The Lineage and Impact analysis features are now visible and available to all users. Administrators no longer need to turn on these features.

These capabilities include the ability to not only visually show the data history by table but also by the specific field within a table—starting with applications all the way back to the original source. Field-level lineage helps you establish trust in the data. When you explore an app, you can also quickly access a data lineage summary that traces back any dimensions and measures in a chart to the original sources. This makes it easy for any user to understand where the data came from within a chart.

Selecting Impact analysis produces a different user interface that shows which databases, apps, files, or links are directly or indirectly impacted if the value of a particular field was changed.

Qlik Cloud makes a clear distinction between Lineage and Impact analysis:

• Lineage shows you a detailed visual representation of the history of a field or dataset, back through the applications and interim datasets to its original source.

• Impact analysis shows a downstream view of a data element’s dependencies – which databases, apps, files or links would directly or indirectly be impacted if the value or structure of that particular field was changed.
