Step Data

Qlik Data

Use a Qlik Expression (defined in the Qlik properties panel) to get data.

Extra Value

Some common values used inside Chains for easy access:

• Now - The current date and time.
• StartValue - The StartValue set when creating a new entry. If none is set the value will be null.
• User - The current logged in user.
• AppId - The id of the current app.
• AppName - The name of the current app.

Array

In some cases (e.g. creating DB Entries) you can iterate over an array inside the step. Then you can select the key of the array to use as data.
