1 What’s new in Qlik Sense June 2019?
1.1 Advanced Authoring

Copy value to clipboard
With Qlik Sense June 2019 you can now copy values to clipboard from tables. This improvement will reduce
several steps and increase productivity when reusing values from a Qlik Sense application.
Grid layout on mobile devices

Qlik Sense app developers can choose the rendering layout for sheets on small screens, such as tablets and
mobile phones. List view remains the default option, and only shows the visualization titles. The new Grid view
shows a small preview of your visualizations, and reduces the amount of white space. This gives developers
more flexibility and control over how apps designed for mobile are displayed.
Changing the small screen layout
Native container object

The container object extension was first released as part of the Dashboard bundle, and was very well received
for the flexibility it adds to a Qlik Sense application sheet space. The Qlik Sense June 2019 release brings the first
ever release of a native Container object, providing the existing functionality from the extension, while adding
better integration capabilities with other authoring actions. This first release of the native container object will
not support Qlik NPrinting, but this is planned for future releases.
With the release of the native container object, current applications using the existing extension objects will
continue to work as before but the two Container Object extensions available in the Dashboard bundle will no
longer be listed as new object options for applications.
1.2 Visualizations and Mapping

New charts for the Visualization Bundle

You can now take snapshots of maps.

Change the resize behavior of a snapshot

You can now change the resize behavior (keep aspect ratio) of a snapshot. When you unlock the snapshot you
make it freely-resizable, which uses a progressive disclosure technique.
Story thumbnails
You can change the thumbnail for a story to make it easier to find it in the app overview.
Play stories from the shortcut menu

You can start playing a story by right-clicking/long-touching the story in the app overview or in the story
navigator.
Additional story details

The details for a story include information about when the story was published and updated, and by who.
15.2 Deploying Qlik Sense

Installation and setup
Guidance after installation
Online help is now available to guide you through setting up your system when installation is completed.
15.3 Administering Qlik Sense

Managing a Qlik Sense site
Qlik Management Console user interface
The user interface theme in the QMC has been updated with better contrast and improved visual hierarchies. The
action bar layout and style have been improved. There is also more table header information, and improved
help documentation.
Virtual proxies and load balancing

Virtual proxies are now a separate resource and can be accessed directly from the QMC start page. Load
balancing is now done on the virtual proxy level.

Empty charts and tables
Explanatory text has been added to both the Operations Monitor and License Monitor chart and table
visualizations when they are empty. The text explains why no data is presented.
Libraries for customizing monitoring apps

Both the Operations Monitor and License Monitor now contain libraries that provide access to the dimensions
and measures used for their visualizations. You can use these dimensions and measures to create additional
visualizations for your particular environment.
The libraries also include additional chart visualizations that can be added to custom sheets.
QMC Change Log sheet (Operations Monitor)

You can track changes made to the QMC settings on the new QMC Change Log sheet.

Reference lines (Operations Monitor)

Reference lines have been added to the 24-hour Summary and Performance History charts to indicate thresholds
and 28-day averages for server CPU and RAM usage.
License usage by app

You can track the number of licenses and tokens used by individual apps on the new Usage by App sheet. The
sheet shows the apps for which both login and user access passes are being used. The usage values are the
passes that have been used, not the number of passes allocated.
Managing Qlik Sense sites in cloud computing environments

Local user group
A local user group is used to authorize the Qlik Deployment Console (QDC) users.
New ports for communication with QDC

New ports for http, https and SignalRPort are used by the QDC.
