What’s New in Qlik Cloud

Data Analytics

The January 2026 Qlik Cloud Analytics release introduces updates that support stronger governance, faster development, and simpler analytics delivery. These changes help organisations manage risk, improve efficiency, and scale analytics with confidence.

This release focuses on clear control for administrators, smoother workflows for developers, and better usability for business users.

1. Write Table: Edit Data Inside Analytics Apps

Write Table is now available in Qlik Cloud Analytics.

It allows users to:

• Edit values directly in an app
• Add comments or updates
• See changes sync instantly for all users

Teams can export changes using Qlik Automate. This feature supports collaboration and reduces reliance on spreadsheets and manual processes.

2. Build Dashboards Faster with Sheet Templates

Qlik Cloud now includes Sheet templates. Sheet templates help users start with proven layouts rather than empty sheets.

Users can:

• Select from multiple template styles
• Preview layouts before applying
• Add templates directly to apps

This feature helps teams deliver dashboards faster and apply consistent design across projects.

3. Improved Multivariate Time Series Forecasting

Qlik Predict now includes enhancements to multivariate time series forecasting.

Updates include:

• Better performance
• Improved model quality
• Operations monitoring
• Time series details in training reports

These changes help analysts understand forecasts more easily and manage models with greater confidence.

4. Faster Interaction with Straight Tables

Straight tables now include actions directly in column headers.

Users can:

• Sort columns with one click
• Search values from the header
• Change cyclic dimensions from the header

Existing tables can enable this feature under Presentation > Accessibility options by turning off Increase accessibility. New tables include this behaviour by default.

5. Track Deprecated Charts Across Your Tenant

Tenant administrators can now see when deprecated charts are used in Qlik Sense apps. A new tenant event records each time a user opens a sheet that contains a deprecated chart. The event shows where and when the chart appears. This visibility helps teams plan clean-up work and reduce technical debt.

For enterprises with shared apps across departments, this feature supports stronger standards and easier platform governance.

6. Clear Permission Control for GeoOperations

Qlik Cloud now includes a dedicated security scope for GeoOperations.

Administrators can assign one of three permission levels:

• Allowed: Full access to all GeoOperations functions
• No geocoding: Access to GeoOperations except address lookups
• Not allowed: No access to GeoOperations

This control helps organisations manage data privacy and location-based processing, which is especially important for regulated industries.

7. Dedicated Engines for All Reloads

Every reload now runs on its own dedicated engine.

This applies to:

• Scheduled reloads
• Reloads started from the script editor

Each reload works independently, which reduces delays and improves consistency. Developers benefit from predictable behaviour, even when many apps reload at the same time.

8. Clearer Chart Organisation in the Assets Panel

The Charts section has been reorganised to improve discovery.

Charts now appear under three clear categories:

• Visualisations: Charts for data analysis
• Dashboard objects: Objects used to structure and format sheets
• Legacy: Older charts that remain supported

Charts from the Qlik Visualization Bundle and Qlik Dashboard Bundle now appear in the same place, which reduces time spent searching for the right visual.

9. Better Script Control and Memory Use

The load script now supports improved handling of temporary objects.

You can:

• Drop mapping tables when they are no longer needed
• Define script-only variables
• Explicitly drop variables during reloads

These updates reduce memory use and keep production apps clean. This is useful for large data models and frequent reload schedules.

10. Resizable Properties Panel

The properties panel is now fully resizable. Users can widen the panel to view long field names clearly. This change reduces errors and speeds up app development, especially in data models with detailed naming standards.

11. Data Flow Enhancements for Testing and Preparation

New Sample Processor is available in Data Flow.

It supports:

• First rows
• Random ratio
• Fixed number of random rows
• Stratified sampling

This processor helps users test pipelines, explore data, and prepare machine learning datasets.

Processor Improvements:

• Aggregate processor: Easier setup for multi-field aggregation and support for aggregation without group by
• Qlik script processor: Guided script editing with table selection, field selection, inline help links, undo and redo, search and replace, autocomplete control, and reusable scripts

These updates reduce errors and improve development speed.
