Data entry with Airtable in Qlik Sense

It has been a while since I last posted. Between coaching, playing cricket and work, I haven’t found much free time this summer to blog. But now that sunny summer days are behind us, I thought I would pick up the pen (well, keyboard in this case) and share some of my ideas.

This year has been a busy year for Qlik. Qlik Sense SaaS is adding new features quicker than I can keep up with. It’s great news for all the fellow Qlikies out there. It’s no surprise that past 12 months I have been busy with SaaS and hybrid deployments to help our clients with their SaaS journey.

For all the new features in Qlik Sense SaaS, there are times when businesses demand more of the platform. And today, I would like to look at one of those use cases, which involves integration with Airtable using a simple Qlik Sense extension from yours truly!

This is also a story of collaboration in the Qlik community and helping others.

Qlik Sense Mashup

For the second blog of the year, I wanted to cover something less technical. So I picked Qlik Sense Mashup as the topic. Time and time again, we are seeing the increase in demand to create mashups (or web applications) to serve number of requirements – be a custom look and feel to the the analytics applications for the business users to advanced web applications with other business contexts. The term mashup is not always the correct term, as they are not always a true mashup, instead they are just dashboard built as a Single Page Application (SPA) from the same Qlik Sense application to customise the look and feel and sometimes, to simplify things for business user who may not have the need for the full Qlik Sense hub experience. This is also the way to serve static or guided analytics.
