What is QlikView?
QlikView is a program that makes it possible to retrieve and assimilate data from different sources across the University. Once loaded into the program, the data is presented in a way that is easy to understand and work with.
To make selections in QlikView, you don’t need any previous knowledge of databases or search routines: you simply click on the item of which you want to know more. The clicked item turns green, and the program immediately presents all the items associated with the selected one.
Graphics and tables can be created to get an even better overview of data. Any graphic or table can be printed or exported to another program.
How do I log on?
Once you have been granted access to QlikView, simply go to the QlikView AccessPoint at QlikView and enter your University ID and single sign-on password.
How do I log out of QlikView?
At the moment, you can log out of QlikView by pressing the Back button on your browser until you return to the main login screen. Alternatively, you can close your browser session which will automatically log you out of QlikView. The ability to log out on the main screens of QlikView is expected in a future release.
