When you’re troubleshooting or diving into logs, it’s useful to have a mapping of object types. The name of an object is defined by the developer of that object, so there tends to be little convention – other some basic syntax rules and that Qlik Sense only allows one instance of the name per site.
Knowing what each type means is useful when inventorying a site for upgrade or migration.
Here’s a list put together at the time of writing. The latest version of the list is available on GitHub, and includes descriptions for each object.
