Introduction


The information required for analysis and decision-making within an organization is communicated via the user interface in Qlik Sense. We discussed the best design practices in Chapter 2, Visualizations. We will take this discussion a step further and learn how to implement a few key objects found in Qlik Sense in our applications, which will help the business convey the desired information to the end user in an effective manner. The chapter starts with important concepts for managing Qlik Sense applications, such as publishing apps on the server and on Qlik Sense Cloud. In later parts, the chapter deals with topics such as the use of reference lines and navigating data points in scatter charts in a Qlik Sense application.
