Improved usability and support of QVS script files

Qlik Cloud now supports the ability to upload, view, and include QVS files in load scripts. Better support and improved usability of QVS files promotes scripting best practices, such as script reuse and modularity. Once uploaded to Catalog, Qlik Cloud users can view QVS file content using the new QVS viewer. QVS files may include reusable content such as subroutines, variables, color palettes, or calendars. QVS files can be included across apps and scripts within Data load editor and Script editor.

The previous JDBC-based Qlik DynamoDB connector will continue to be supported until end of July 2024.

App performance evaluator enhancements

We’re thrilled to announce a significant enhancement to the performance evaluator in Qlik Cloud. Now, you’ll receive reports when sub-parts of an object encounter issues or cannot be evaluated. This includes scenarios such as:

• Calculation conditions applied to measures or dimensions within an object.

• Instances where a reference to a measure or dimension has been removed from the master item library, affecting object functionality.

• Situations where expressions are disabled due to various reasons, ensuring you’re aware of any potential impact on your analytics.
