Manta Qlik Scanner: Add Support for Sheet-Level Variables

Problem Statement

Currently, Manta’s (42.14.8 ) Qlik Scanner primarily captures variables defined at the app/document (global) level. However, many Qlik implementations define and override variables at the Sheet level to localize expressions (e.g., sheet‑specific filters, thresholds, dynamic titles, color rules).

Gap: Sheet‑level variables are not being discovered or mapped, resulting in:

  • Incomplete lineage for Qlik expressions and visualizations that depend on sheet‑scoped variables.
  • Inconsistent governance—teams can’t distinguish between global vs. sheet‑scoped variable usage.

Who Benefits

Data Governance Teams

  • Achieve complete traceability required for internal and external audits
  • Meet regulatory lineage requirements

Risk & Compliance

  • Ensure audit readiness with defensible lineage

Proposed Enhancement / How It Should Work

The Manta Qlik Sense Scanner should support resolution of variables defined at the Sheet level so that lineage is complete for Qlik expressions and visualizations that depend on sheet‑scoped variables.
