November 14, 2023: What’s New in Qlik Cloud?

Introducing Qlik conversational analytics in Microsoft Teams

With the new Qlik app for Microsoft Teams, you can easily chat with Insight Advisor, Qlik’s intelligent AI assistant, to explore data using natural language directly within Microsoft Teams. Insight Advisor Chat

You can now ask questions through individual or group chat and Qlik will respond with AI-generated data visualizations and insights, using data from across your Qlik apps. And because it’s Microsoft Teams, you can collaborate with others in real-time, collectively making decisions using the insights generated by Qlik. Insight Advisor within Microsoft Teams provides a powerful new way to help more people find the right answers, make better decisions and collaborate together where and how they work.

Look for the Qlik app in the Teams App Store to get started.

Monitor views: Lineage and impact filtering

Monitor views now provides more granular views into tasks. You now have the ability to filter tasks within a data pipeline, based on impact analysis or pipeline lineage.

• Lineage filtering: allows you to select a task and automatically include any related upstream tasks. For example you could select a Data Mart task and see all the upstream tasks that impact the health of that data mart.

• Impact filtering: allows you to select a task and see all downstream tasks in the Monitor View. For example, you could select an SAP Landing task and see all other tasks impacted by the SAP landing task.

These filters can be saved as part of a Monitor view definition. Within these filtered views, it is possible to do further filtering by errors as an example, to analyze how a task error impacts upstream or downstream data pipeline components.
