Visualizations

Visualizations are used to present the data that is loaded into the app. The selections you make in the app are reflected in all associated visualizations. If you’re new to creating visualizations, review choosing the right visualization.

This section summaries the compatibility of these visualizations across embedding frameworks. For support for Insight Advisor, review Insight Advisor compatibility.

Chart types and properties

Native charts

Native charts are those built into the core Qlik Sense experience, and are accessible via the Charts menu in the Qlik Sense authoring experience.

Dashboard bundle and visualization bundle charts

These visualizations are extensions that enhance navigation and selection in your Qlik Sense app.

They may not be built to the same standards as the native objects, and may have additional limitations.

Third-party extensions

Third-party visualization extensions are supported via:

• qlik-embed:
  • classic/app
  • classic/chart, when iframe="true" is added to the <qlik-embed ...> tag.
• Capability APIs
• iFrame embedding APIs.

Qlik-embed charset compatibility

When embedding the KPI object with analytics/chart (in the default iframe=false mode) or analytics/sheet, users will receive an error if the host page does not specify UTF-8 encoding.

To resolve this issue, add the following meta tag to the host page:

<meta charset="utf-8">

Alternatively, leverage classic/chart with iframe="true" if your host page requires a charset other than UTF-8, or you are unable to set the charset.
