Introduction
Qlik Sense is a cloud-based data analytics solution that helps businesses gain valuable insights into their data. It is fast emerging as a popular choice for building sophisticated visualizations of complex data for an executive-level audience. A very powerful feature of Qlik Sense is the support for different types of selections, application states, and search. In this course, you will gain the knowledge to pick the appropriate model to view data, and leverage Smart Search and the Qlik Sense cognitive engine to work with that data in your app. This course combines demonstrations and hands-on activities to teach the concept of designing Qlik Sense Visualisation and story.
