Qlik

Qlik (pronounced "click") Sense is a data analytics platform, hosted by the UW School of Medicine and Public Health. It allows users to interact with data through visualizations, filterable reports, and other formats. 

Institutional data will be made available through the SMPH Qlik platform, including data from campus, UWHealth, and additional SMPH-specific data sources. This will include HR, financial, facilities, and educational data. Research data will, at this time, be limited to research administration. 

Dashboards and reports will be created in Qlik Sense by SMPH IT, as well as by developers from other units within SMPH, giving groups the freedom to build to their own needs and specifications.
