Qlik Migration Project FAQs

 

When will Qlik be turned off?

Qlik licensing expires in November 2024 and will not be renewed. Some Qlik dashboards will be turned off prior to this date if the Power BI replacement is available. This will be communicated to users of each dashboard. 

 

I'm a dashboard user - do I need to do anything?

No. You will receive further communications about the new dashboard launch, training support and further information nearer the time that the new dashboard launches. You can find a timeline of estimated dashboard launches on this webpage. 

 

When will the new Power BI dashboards be launched?

Please see the timeline on this webpage for an estimated launch date for all migrating dashboards. If your dashboard is not being migrated please log an Ivanti call here: Help Desk Request and clearly state which dashboard the query is in relation to.

 

Will my permissions/access carry over to Power BI?

Yes, the access you have to QlikView and Qlik Sense dashboards will be carried over to the Power BI equivalents.

 

Will training be provided on Power BI?

We hope that you find the new dashboards intuitive to use.  Familiarisation will be provided on a dashboard-by-dashboard basis. Demonstration and familiarisation sessions will be organised and you will be contacted about how to join these once the dashboard migration has taken place.  

 

I don't/My colleague doesn't have access to this Qlik dashboard, how can I request it?

If you know of colleagues who wish to access a Qlik dashboard, please advise them that they can request access via Ivanti here: Help Desk Request.

 

Will the data in Power BI be updated at the same frequency as it is in Qlik?

Yes, the new Power BI dashboards will use the same underlying data sets and same refresh frequencies as existing products. 

 

If you're migrating the dashboard, can I suggest some changes?

The migration work is following a ‘lift and shift’ approach, ensuring that the existing functionality remains available in the new Power BI interface. There will also be some design and usability improvements made during the process.  

Suggestions and feedback on further development, new features, additional functionality will be gathered during the testing phases, however the priority at present is on ensuring business as usual can continue. 

 

I can't see my dashboard in the list of dashboards that are part of core analytics suite. Why is that?

We've been working with stakeholders to identify and agree a suite of core analytics products.
