Objects

Qlik Sense comes with a variety of different objects that can be used to visualize and analyze data. These objects range from filter boxes and simple bar charts to maps and scatter plots. Additionally, Qlik now ships with several extension objects that provide more complex visualizations and functionalities, such as Sankey and Radar charts, or buttons, and variable inputs. Objects allow us to create beautiful and insightful visualizations quickly and easily on the Qlik Sense canvas:

The preceding screenshot highlights a combo chart, which is a type of object that can accept multiple dimensions and measures as input. In this example, the dimension used is Region and the measures used are Sales YTD, which is represented by the blue bar, Sales LY YTD, which is represented by the yellow line, and Sales Goal, which is represented by the red line. This type of visualization allows us to compare multiple sales metrics across our six regions and see how close each one is to the prior year and goal.

Many other visualizations are available with the Qlik Sense client, and many more are available as extension objects. Check https://branch.qlik.com for hundreds of interesting extension objects that are created by others in the Qlik community.

Please note that not all extension objects are tested or supported, as many are open source. Qlik has created a certification program wherein they have certified several extension objects, but most remain uncertified, so use them at your own risk.
