AI-based SQL Assistant

SQL Assistant is now available as part of Qlik Cloud Data Integration. SQL Assistant is a co-pilot feature that makes it easier to write SQL queries.

SQL Assistant, available as part of the SQL transformation capability, allows you to describe what you want to achieve in natural language. Based on this prompt, the AI SQL Assistant will generate a SQL query to use as part of your transformation.

At launch, SQL Assistant is available for the US East, Ireland, Frankfurt and Sydney regions.

Changes to platform navigation

Major changes have been made to navigation across the platform with the introduction of Activity Centers. These provide a common anchor point with the waffle menu in the top-left corner throughout the whole platform, and more generally make it easier to navigate, with areas focused on consuming insights and creating analytics, and get started creating new content. These changes also allow administrators to curate content and insights for consumers, and let all users interact with Insight Advisor Chat and browse content in parallel.

Improvements to sheet navigation, interaction and the left asset panel

Three great additions to sheets and the asset panel!

1. The sheet navigation has moved to the left asset panel for easier navigation, alongside Bookmarks and Notes.

2. Grouping of sheets makes sheets easier to organize and find.

3. Pinning and resizing of the left asset panel makes the panel more readable and flexible.
