In order to create the most efficient and visually appealing visualizations possible, Qlik regularly expands and improves the functionalities and design options in Qlik Sense charts – also this autumn.
In this context, the design options and user-friendliness of various charts in the cloud version have again been optimized in recent weeks.
New line object
With a new line object, simple lines can now be drawn on sheets. This provides more customization options and details on sheets. The new line object can be used to separate or group content on a sheet or to create bespoke dashboards. It also offers various customization options (including design, width and line color).
Optimized handling of fonts
The handling of fonts has also been updated. A preview of the font is now available in the drop-down menu. Open source fonts are bundled. For this reason, the fonts are rendered the same everywhere – on the screen as well as in the print output and when downloading images.
The appearance of dashboards remains the same. New fonts are only used when app developers actively use them. You can use your own font, create a custom style sheet and include your own font.
Multi-page PDF download in the table chart
A frequently requested function – multi-page PDF output – has now been added to table charts. This allows you to download more than just the current view of the table (up to 50 pages in total).
New filter pane settings
The filter pane has also been enhanced with a setting for a log-out confirmation. This is particularly helpful in grid mode when the filter pane is used as a button bar.
Updated object for Natural Language Insights
The object for insights in natural language was also recently updated. It has been moved to the standard charts pane and now offers better functionality, optimized insights and native support for all Qlik Cloud features.
From now on, the context can be configured manually with dimensions and measures and a desired chart can also be selected directly, which the insights automatically reflect. This makes it very easy to add readouts and interpretations for a visualization.
