Accessing Qlik Report from mCommons

Overview

Qlik reports provide a centralized dashboard that consolidates key metrics in one accessible location. This allows users to efficiently track and analyze data across different campaigns, broadcasts, time periods, and others. By leveraging these insights, you can make informed decisions based on real-time performance, identify trends, optimize strategies, and drive better outcomes.

User Roles and Access

  • Qlik Button Visibility:

    • The Qlik button will not appear on the dashboard unless an admin enables access for the user.
