In this episode of Do More with Qlik: Tips and Tricks Edition, I walk you through how to create dependent task chains in Qlik Cloud. Whether you're managing scripts, data flows, or apps, building a task chain ensures that each process runs in sequence—only when the previous one succeeds.
We’ll be working in a demo space called “Tasks Demo,” using three core objects:
-
A script that pulls pricing data and stores it in cloud storage.
-
A data flow that combines that data with inventory details to create a QVD.
-
An app that visualizes the results in a clear and simple dashboard.
In this video, you’ll learn how to:
-
Set up a scheduled time-based task.
-
Configure tasks to trigger only when a prior task succeeds.
-
Monitor task progress and view refresh statuses in real time.
This approach not only improves the reliability of your data updates but also helps you build a foundation for more complex automation across your Qlik environment.
