Introduction

Data is the core aspect of any Business Intelligence (BI) application. It provides information that helps organizations to make decisions.

A Qlik Sense application is based on the data extracted from various sources, such as relational databases, CRM systems, ERP systems, and data files.

This chapter introduces the user to various methods of extracting data into a Qlik Sense application effectively. It is assumed that the reader is already acquainted with the concepts of ODBC, OLE DB, and relational databases. The chapter also provides essential recipes to extract data from web services with the REST connector and FTP data sources with the native Web File connector.

The latter part of the chapter focuses on a few recipes regarding the creation of a library and content and the new features of visual data transformation available in the data manager.
