Qlik Alerting Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)


1. What is Qlik Alerting?
    Qlik Alerting provides enterprise alerting for your Qlik Sense deployment. It offers self-service capabilities for users to create their own alerts on the data they have access to in Qlik Sense.

2. Do I need to be a Qlik Sense User?
    To create alerts from data stored in a Qlik Sense application you will need to have a Qlik Sense license. To receive alerts created by someone else, you do not need a Qlik Sense license.

3. Does Qlik Alerting work with Qlik Sense Desktop?
    Qlik Alerting works only with Qlik Sense Enterprise for Windows (QSEoW) at this time.

4. Do I need to download software to use Qlik Alerting?
    Yes. There is a server side installation required. For users there is no installation required apart from the iOS or Android mobile app if that is one of the delivery channels required.

5. How does it connect to my Qlik Sense Apps
    Qlik Alerting uses Qlik's powerful APIs to authorize users’ access to data in Qlik Sense apps, provide metadata when setting up and alert and provide the actual measure values for the Qlik Alerting engine to process the alert check.

6. Is there a limit to the number of alerts I can receive?
    The number of alerts that you own or subscribe to, is limited to 50. Disabled alerts also count towards the limit. If you have reached the limit you can reduce the number of alerts.

7. Is there a Qlik Alerting Mobile App?
    Yes, there are Apps for iOS and Android that can be downloaded from the relevant app stores by searching “Qlik Alerting”.

8. How does the Qlik Alerting Mobile App connect to my Qlik Sense environment?
    The Qlik Alerting Mobile app doesn't connect to your Qlik Sense environment. The app receives alerts from the Qlik Alerting engine when they are triggered.

9. Does the Qlik Alerting mobile app integrate with the Qlik Sense mobile app?
    Within the alert, there is a link to the associated Qlik Sense app which when clicked gives the user the option to open the Qlik Sense app in Qlik Sense Mobile.

10. Does Qlik Alerting store my Qlik Sense data?
    Each time an alert scan occurs only the measure value is stored in the Qlik Alerting database. This allows you to track scanned and alert triggered values over time to guide you and to allow you to set smart condition values.

11. Does Qlik Alerting work if I am not logged into my Qlik Sense?
    Yes, Qlik Alerting creates a separate session on Qlik Sense with your username, so you do not need to be logged in. If you are logged in the Qlik Alerting session will remain distinct from your open hub sessions so you will not be interrupted in your work whilst Qlik Alerting activates in the background.

12. Will Qlik Alerting be available for Qlik Sense Enterprise SaaS?
    Currently Qlik Alerting is only available on Qlik Sense Enterprise Client-Manager (Windows). The product roadmap includes plans for adding alerting capabilities to Qlik Sense Enterprise SaaS.

13. Can I have Qlik Alerting on my Qlik Sense dashboard?
    Yes, have a Qlik Sense extension that allows you to access Qlik Alerting from your Qlik Sense dashboards. This includes passing details of your current application and selections to Qlik Alerting to create an alert and conversely to apply the filter selections from your alert onto your dashboard for further analysis.
