The core data to be used in Qlik enterprise reporting will be stored in files called QVDs. A QVD (QlikView Data) file is a file containing a table of data exported from Qlik Sense. QVD is a native Qlik format and can only be written to and read by Qlik Sense. See Qlik Data Overview.docx for more information on just how this works. |

Each department will have their own area (Stream) for their data. You will be given access as needed by requesting access from the Stream Administrators. There will also be some shared central data available. Finance Data will be coming from SFS (Wisdm) data warehouse, and HR data from the HRS (EPM) data warehouse. |

You should have access to the Finance data by using the FINANCE_QVDs folder found in the right-hand side Connections panel in the data load editor. At this time, the data is coming directly from the SFS - SFMRT(WISDM) warehouse. If you have worked with the SFMRT data in the past, the current QVDs are a direct match for what you would normally see in the database. For more detailed information please see the SFS documentation. |

You should have access to the Human Resources data by using the HR_QVDs_EPM or the HR_QVDs_AADW folders found in the right-hand side Connections panel in the data load editor. The EPM folder contains data coming directly from the HRS - EPM data warehouse. If you have worked with the HRS/EPM data in the past, the current QVDs are a direct match for what you would normally see in the EPM database. The AADW will contain data that has been grouped into categories such as demographics, compensation, contact info, etc. For more detailed information on the EPM (HRS) source data please see the EPM data warehouse documentation. |
