Working with Self-Service Analytics

Qlik Sense is tailored to drive self-service analytics with business users in mind. Business users can create their own analyses, freeing up the IT department to create queries and reports that usually change every time. However, this only works with a strong foundation of data and security governance, allowing users to access the data freely. With a lot of content being created by business users some analysis can be promoted so that it is accessible to a wide audience and can be incorporated into the original app. This enables interaction between developers and business users, so that they can co-develop the analysis. These key points are important to guaranteeing the adoption of self-service analytics.

In this chapter, you will discover how to explore the self-service analytics features provided by Qlik Sense Enterprise and Qlik Sense Cloud...
