SaaS in 60 - Chart-level Scripting

This week we introduce a powerful new capability that allows you to provide and manipulate data directly within a chart object using script. Chart Level Scripting allows users to modify the data set behind a chart using a subset of the Qlik scripting language, using techniques such as variables and loops. Rows and columns can be added or modified that were not in the original data set enabling calculations that have previously not been possible in chart expressions or with variables. Simply enable the app for chart scripts, under measures add your script under the script section – and along with the appropriate dimensions– you will see your charts reflect the data provided by the script which also can be changed in real-time with the use of variables and expressions. Offering a new way to analyze your data such as simulations and goal seeking.

Systems development lifecycle (SDLC) with the Qlik Active Intelligence Platform - Part 2

In this video we will show how we can build context-aware applications so, your applications will know not just whether they are in Development, Test or production, but also whether they are a Sales, Finance or HR app. We will do this using built-in functionality of Qlik Cloud. We will also look at using these techniques to manage external script libraries so we can ensure we use the correct version of libraries based on where our apps reside.

A CFO's Perspective: Understanding The Positive Business Impact of a Modern Financial Analytics Approach

I recently sat down with CFODive to discuss the importance of modern financial analytics in transforming the way financial leaders and their organizations operate – a topic that is only becoming increasingly prominent. Business strategies have had to rapidly adjust to address market volatility, consumer trends, and unpredictable world events. These dynamics have forced finance teams to rethink how they are using data and analytics and take a more modern approach.

Three Ways Active Intelligence Can Support the CFO

Finance has been at the forefront of enterprise analytics for decades. Over the years, these analytics have evolved from reactive, descriptive analytics related to financial performance, treasury holdings, and inventory management to predictive and prescriptive analytics for risk, credit, and financial business modeling.

The New Breed: How to Think About Robots

You’ve heard the saying “if you do what you love, you’ll never work a day in your life,” right? Well, I hate to say it, but that’s me. I never dreamed that I would wind up in a field that combined all of my interests, but somehow that happened. Through my research at the MIT Media Lab I get to apply my legal and social sciences background to human-robot interaction. Which yes, does mean that I mostly get to play with robots all day.
