Version control with GitHub

Version control empowers developers to work concurrently on different aspects of a project in Qlik Talend Cloud pipelines.

Thanks to a branching strategy, developers can isolate a feature and edit a project without affecting the main branch. Using GitHub, projects can be shared across branches, spaces and tenants.

For each branch, users have the option to customize the schema prefix to be added to all datasets in the branch to avoid conflicts. Once changes are made on their branches, users can synchronize changes with a remote repository, and commit and push their changes. They can also create pull requests from GitHub, where team members can review and approve the code before it is merged back into the main project.

Version control allows team members to sync their changes and collaborate efficiently while avoiding conflicts and ensuring pipeline integrity.

Version control is available from Qlik Talend Cloud Standard edition and upwards.

For more information, see Manage your projects with version control.

New script function integrates user attributes

Qlik Sense adds a GetUserAttr function that is similar to the GetSysAttr function and allows developers and self-service users to leverage metadata from outside the app to drive in-app experiences. GetUserAttr provides information about the user accessing the app, which can then be used to create more advanced customization by applying per-user or per-group controls in the app.

Developers can leverage the users’ groups, email, or subject information to do actions such as:

• Apply specific locale or language settings based on email domain or groups. For example, apply French language translations for dimensions, measures, and titles to those users whose email domain is x@mydomain.fr or who are members of the group Qlik-French.

• Customize layouts to fit different user personas by applying show/hide settings on objects, dimensions or measures in objects, or sheets (note that this function does not restrict access to data, therefore, it is recommended that you still leverage section access for data reduction).
