titleI have an idea for a dashboard or report. How can we make it happen?

We are preparing a fillable form to initiate a conversation for something you'd like to see in Qlik. In the meantime, please send an email to support@meddata@med.wisc.edu to get started. If your idea has SMPH-wide appeal, we will discuss collaborative development options.

Learn more about what it takes to get an idea to production.

titleHow do I work with data in Qlik?

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 If you're a Developer and would like to see a sample of how this works you can look here -  Qlik Data Overview.docx for more information on just how this works.

titleWhat kind of data is available in Qlik?

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 the SFS (WISDM) data warehouse, and HR data from the HRS (EPM) data warehouse.

titleI'm a developer, and I need to include some finance data in some of my Qlik Apps. What do I need to do?

As a developer, you have access to the Finance data by using the FINANCE_QVDs_WISDM or the FINANCE_QVDs_AADW  folders found in the right-hand side Connections panel in the data load editor. At this time, the WISDM 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. Currently we have General Ledger, Period Summary, and Payroll Star sample data in the Development Environment. For more detailed information please see the SFS documentation. The AADW data is being added as needed. Currently there is a basic customized version of the GL Star, and some QVDs requested specifically for the finance group.
