B) To search for and make selections on data values across the entire data set.
C) To search for the names of master measures and dimensions.
D) To execute complex search queries using operators like wildcards and greater-than signs.
E) To search for values within a single, specific field.
Correct Answer: B) To search for and make selections on data values across the entire data
set.

all fields in the entire data set, making it a powerful tool for global exploration.
Question 2

A) In the Smart Search bar.
B) In the selections tool.
C) In the assets panel.
D) In the filter pane for "Chart Type."

Correct Answer: C) In the assets panel.
Rationale: The text specifies that the assets panel is used to search for "Chart type names,
custom object names, field names, master item names and master item tags." Smart Search is
for data values, not asset names.
Question 3

E) The name of a custom object.
Correct Answer: D) The value "Electronics" in a 'Product Category' field.
Rationale: The text explicitly states that Smart Search looks for "field values and dimension
values," and that measure values are NOT included. It searches for data values across all
fields, so a value like "Electronics" would be a valid search term.

types will display a full-range mini chart to represent the complete data set?
A) Pie chart and Treemap
B) Scatter plot and Box plot
C) Bar chart and Line chart
D) Gauge and KPI
E) Table and Pivot table

show full range mini chart." This responsive design feature allows users to see the overall
trend even when the main chart is compressed.

following actions are they UNABLE to perform?
A) Make selections in a filter pane.
B) Navigate to a different sheet.
C) Create a new visualization.
,D) View a chart in full-screen mode.
E) Apply a bookmark.

explicitly states that a user "Cannot: create new content" or "edit sheets, stories or
visualizations." Making selections and navigating are supported functions.
Question 6
As a best practice, what is a good way to start structuring a new, empty Qlik Sense application?
A) Immediately start loading all available data sources.
B) Create all the master items (dimensions and measures) first.
C) Build a structure of empty sheets, with each sheet representing a specific goal or analysis
idea.
D) Design the color theme and custom styling for the application.
E) Create the data load script first.
Correct Answer: C) Build a structure of empty sheets, with each sheet representing a specific
goal or analysis idea.
Rationale: The text suggests as a good starting point to "First build a structure of empty
sheets, where each sheet represents an idea or a goal. This will give you and others a good
overview of the app." This method helps in planning the application's narrative and structure.
Question 7
A developer wants to embed a Qlik Sense chart directly into a company's internal web portal.
Which Qlik Sense feature allows them to achieve this?
A) The Qlik Sense Hub
B) The Qlik Sense DataMarket
C) The Qlik Sense API
D) The Qlik Sense Smart Search
E) The Qlik Sense Data Load Editor
, Correct Answer: C) The Qlik Sense API
Rationale: The text defines the Qlik Sense API as allowing "users to share Qlik Sense
visualizations by embedding them into web pages." This is its primary purpose for integration.
Question 8

color represents values that are still possible or associated with the selection?
A) Light Gray
B) Dark Gray
C) White
D) Green

Light Gray is alternative, and Dark Gray is excluded. White represents the subset of data that
is directly associated with the user's selection.
Question 9
In the Qlik Sense associative model, what does the color Dark Gray represent?
A) The currently selected value.
B) A value that is possible given the current selection.
C) A value that is an alternative to the current selection.
D) A value that is excluded and has no association with the current selection.
E) A value that has been locked.
Correct Answer: D) A value that is excluded and has no association with the current selection.
Rationale: The text clearly states that Dark Gray represents values that are "EXCLUDED." This
is the power of the Qlik model, showing you not just what is related, but also what is
unrelated to your selection.
