The video below shows you how to get started working with impact analysis. Impact analysis offers a graphical view of the lineage of a dataset or app, showing the data inputs and outputs. The lineage graph shows the data flow of apps and data in your organisation. It visualises apps and datasets as nodes. Each node represents a step in the lineage of the selected dataset or app. This lineage information is compiled whenever an app loads or reloads data. If your app has not been reloaded recently, the lineage may be incomplete or inaccurate.

“BI and analytics platforms help organizations understand what happened and why, but users increasingly also want to know what will happen and what they can do about it,” said Doug Henschen, VP and principal analyst at Constellation Research. “These sorts of predictive insights were formerly left entirely to data scientists, but the trendsetters are closing the gap between BI and analytics and data science. With its acquisition of Big Squid, Qlik is extending and accelerating its existing efforts to enable non-data scientists to get predictive.”
