Dashboards show the numbers. The explanations for them are often found elsewhere.

Why do comments, status updates, and feedback get lost in Excel and emails?

In many companies, Qlik is the central source for key metrics. As soon as someone wants to explain a variance, update a status, or provide feedback, the work shifts to spreadsheets, emails, or separate forms. While the information is available, it isn’t where it’s needed for analysis.

In this free live webinar, Inphinity and TD Trusted Decisions will show you how to capture and update business data directly in Qlik. This ensures that your analyses remain up-to-date and traceable.

What the webinar is about

Inphinity Forms enhances Qlik apps with structured data entry and writeback—that is, the ability to write data back to the source. Users can enter or edit information right where they analyze their metrics anyway.

In a brief live demo, we’ll show you three simple use cases. In the first, routine operational checks or status updates are recorded via a form. In the second, responses from surveys or feedback sessions are integrated directly alongside business data. In the third, users add comments and context to individual data records, with a simple review or approval step if needed.

You’ll see how this works from a business user’s perspective and how these use cases reduce reliance on isolated spreadsheets and email loops. You’ll also learn where it makes sense to start. The webinar is designed as a practical introduction to everyday data entry and does not delve into the intricacies of complex planning applications.

Typical questions from practice

• Where are explanations for discrepancies documented today, and who will be able to find them later?
• How can regular audits or status reports be recorded without having to maintain additional Excel spreadsheets?
• How is feedback from surveys or feedback sessions integrated with business data?
• How can a simple review or approval step be implemented without sending information back and forth via email?

Who is the webinar suitable for?

This webinar is intended for members of the controlling department, business units, and BI and analytics managers who are already working with Qlik or planning to implement it. It is particularly well-suited for anyone who wants to capture day-to-day information more easily and connect it directly to their Qlik applications.

About Inphinity

Inphinity is a Qlik technology partner and develops extensions that are directly integrated into Qlik. Its core product is Inphinity Forms. It enhances Qlik apps with structured data entry, write-back, and commenting features, enabling users not only to analyze information but also to enter, edit, and reconcile it directly within their familiar Qlik interface.

Since Inphinity Forms operates entirely within Qlik, there are no additional system disconnects. Entered data is immediately available for analysis, and validation or approval steps can be mapped right where the metrics are viewed anyway.

Why TD Trusted Decisions?

TD Trusted Decisions helps medium-sized companies develop clearer, more integrated, and decision-oriented approaches to planning, reporting, and business management. As a Qlik partner, we help companies set up analytics in a way that supports their day-to-day operations.

Our experience with projects shows that dashboards only realize their full value when the information behind them is complete and up-to-date. Often, the human element is missing—such as an explanation for a deviation, a status update, or an assessment from the business unit. If this information is collected outside the system, it leads to data inconsistencies, additional coordination efforts, and gaps in traceability.

In this webinar, we combine our consulting experience with a live demo of Inphinity. This demonstrates how data collection can be implemented directly in Qlik and where a good place to start is.
