titleWhat are the 3 Qlik environments, Dev, Test, and Production?

SMPH is providing 3 Qlik environments:

  1. Production: This is where applications that are tested and ready to use will live. Most end users will only see the Production environment.
  2. Test: This is where power users help developers test Qlik applications that are being prepared for moving to Production. 
  3. Development: This is where development of new Qlik Sense apps and work to update existing apps will take place. Only Qlik developers will have access to the development environment. 

Learn more about roles in each environment in SMPH Qlik Sense.

Learn more about how Qlik dashboards move through the environments.

titleI'm a developer, and I'd like to know more about how to 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. 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. There are also sample Apps out in the Development environment which show how to create and how to use Qlik data files

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.
