Loading analytics data

Adding and loading data

There are different ways you can add and load data.

• Add data to spaces

  You can add data files and data connections directly in spaces. You can also add data sources when managing spaces. Once data sources are added to a space, you can load data from them in your apps and scripts. Apps can use Data Catalog, data manager or data load editor. Scripts can use Script.

  For more information, see Adding and managing your analytics data.

  If you have on-premise data sources you want to use in your tenant, you can upload them using Qlik DataTransfer. For more information, see Uploading on-premises data with Qlik DataTransfer.

• Load data into apps and scripts from the data catalog

  You can load data from datasets in the spaces to which you have access. Once loaded into your app, you can make associations and edit your data tables in Data manager.

  For more information, see Loading data from the data catalog.

• Loading data into apps with Data manager

  There are different ways of adding data using Data manager. You can add data to your app from a new or an existing data source.
