In order to create the most profitable and appealing visualizations possible, Qlik is continuously expanding and optimizing the design options in Qlik Sense charts – also in June.
In the past few weeks, the design options in the cloud version have therefore once again been improved, as well as the user experience in various charts.
Optimized design for button objects
The design of button objects can now be changed. Fonts, labels and also the layout can be adapted.
Chart animations also for bullet and line charts
Chart animations can now also be activated in bullet and line charts.
Chart animations can be used to show the gradual transition from the old view to the new view in a visualization when data has been changed (e.g. after a selection has been made). The animations can be enabled or disabled in the app settings.
New design options for treemaps
A new window can now be used to customize the appearance and behavior of treemaps to meet company, department, or personal style requirements. For example, font size, color, title, subtitle and footnotes can be changed. Background image and color can also be selected.
Condition-based showing and hiding of measures in bar charts
In bar charts it is now possible to show or hide different dimensions or measures within the same chart. For this purpose, a simple toggle switch can be added via the show condition expression. The new feature gives more control, improves customization and also saves space.
Hide toolbar and sheet header in apps
With new settings in App Options, you can now enable and disable the toolbar and header for all sheets. Hiding the toolbar and header of sheets creates more space for content. In addition, title and navigation bar selections can be customized.
New design options for Qlik Sense chart legends
New design options for legends now provide more flexibility and customization options. The new legend design is available for line, bar, pie, mekko, waterfall, scatterplot, and distribution charts. Available options include new font family, font size, and color for titles and labels.
