Solutions

Overview

A Solution is a collection of related charts, KPIs, and dashboards. SenseOps UI Builder allows you to incorporate multiple dynamic visualizations into a single solution.

Once the users log in, they will be redirected to the solutions page. Here users can access the solutions they created or the solutions which have been shared with them based on the solution groups.

Basic operations

Users can create new solutions and update solution settings from the landing page.

Create Solution

Click on the 'New Solution' to create a new solution. When the ‘New Solution’ button is clicked, a pop-up screen will appear where the users must fill in the mandatory details for solution creation.

Edit Solution

The Edit option allows the users to make changes to the solution. The solution's name, app connection, and application theme can all be changed by the solution's owner. The QS Connection option will display all Qlik applications for you to choose from.

Share

Users will have the ability to share the solution using the choices below.

● Only Me - Because the solution is only visible to the creator, this option will be activated by default. Only the dashboard page shows which users have access and can do their tasks based on their authorization status. ● Everyone - The developed solution is shared with all other users, allowing the solution to appear in their dashboard. ● Specific Person - The developed solution can be shared with the users you choose, and a user list will appear on the screen for you to choose from.
