Vizlib Actions: Streamlining workflows and guiding your users in Qlik Sense

Vizlib Actions: Streamlining workflows and guiding your users in Qlik Sense

 

Time is a valuable, yet finite resource, especially for busy BI people! The best way to save time is to create a better flow in their tasks.  Dashboards should be actionable and offer shortcuts to insights as well as connect up the business apps that naturally link together as a process. The synthesis and automation of these components that result in data-driven insights can help all data users do more and do it faster!

 

Integrated, automated workflows establish a favourable user experience and free up the user’s time for analytical decision-making. The actions they take to drill down into data should form part of a smooth user experience.  

 

Begin the journey to integrated workflows with Vizlib Actions

 

Vizlib Actions is a value-added capability for Qlik Sense that helps to create a guided analytics experience and steers users down a specific insight discovery path. Currently available for Vizlib Library, it enables you to create and link shortcuts across your apps for the ultimate smooth user experience. Make seamless selections or create custom buttons that make it fun and easy to explore and analyse data.

 

You can generate more value when you combine Vizlib Actions with Vizlib Button. This powerful combo helps establish a guided analytics experience, enabling you to create efficient shortcuts, navigate your app quicker and discover insights easily.

Creating automated workflows with Vizlib Button API Integration 

 

Vizlib Button API Integration is a powerful Vizlib Action which helps developers simplify and speed up the flow of data between apps.  

 

This new capability enables you to get the data you request from the app or server quickly (or perform a GET request), like a button that ‘gets’ your data on the weather in your town. Users get the info they’re looking for in one click, even when that data lives on another app!

1. Set up your Vizlib Button and inputs

2. Set up your connection
