picked up on this a few weeks ago but thanks for the walkthrough. Have thought about creating an app that can trigger different reloads via several buttons. Handy when automation ownership isn't shared. For longer running reloads (or starting a chain) you can enhance it with a status variable. The initial button press can change a variable to show "Automation Triggered", then at the end of the reload set the variable to be Reloaded $(=ReloadTime()) I'm not sure if changing these variables in an automation step will show to the end users - if it does that could provide further information on the state of the reload. Using these variables to disable/enable the button will also prevent multiple runs.
Hello Mickael! Thanks for his vide! I have a doubt, I have followed the instructions and the user (my test user), who is not the owner, cannot reload nor write data. Does the user need to have a professional licence?
Hi Row - so Analyzer licenses cannot RUN RELOAD ACTION using BUTTON - BUT CAN RUN TRIGGERD AUTOMATION USING BUTTON - please see this link for more information: community.qlik.com/t5/Official-Support-Articles/Qlik-Sense-User-with-Analyzer-license-cannot-reload-app-data/ta-p/1715553 - it may be possible to create an automation to RELOAD the app - that way your Analyzer license CAN RELOAD the app - but using the automation to reload it instead - hope this helps - regards, Mike T
Hi Dominique - that is just the standard Qlik Sense App accessing the same data source from a connection that was created - to basically create the charts, tables etc. in the app itself. Qlik Sense - simply accesses the source data from a defined connection and pulls it in the app in memory. If you are new to Qlik - I would suggest taking a look at this playlist - th-cam.com/play/PLW1uf5CQ_gSqF5bcmbBrk1q7Q4-h899V1.html - and watch the first video - to get a quick idea. If you have other questions please let us know - and please join the qlik community as well. community.qlik.com/t5/New-to-Qlik-Sense/bd-p/new-to-qlik-sense - thanks - Regards, Mike T
@@QlikOfficial I am working quite some years in QlikView & Qlik Sense. Guess I am missing something in what you are saying. Are you catching the new record values in variables and write these variables to backend? How then? Reload them using partial reload? A bit confused.
Ah good to know - the way the questions was phrased I wasn't sure. Correct - variables are capturing the new values and being passed to the app automation which then uses the values in the content block for MS SQL which has a jey value pair - which then updated the existing source data. Then it is just a simple reload of the data source in the app. Let me know if that is what you are after.
@@QlikOfficial Thank you for elaborating. Do I understand correctly that we use Automation to implement a simple write back solution (simplified version of Komment) ?
You could - one of the use cases is adding comments to data tables or cases - please see the link in the description to the community post that covers some of the use cases

Nice video. I am also interesting how (and where) you are able to write the new data which you later upload to with the reload button.

Is this property also for QS on prem?
Reload Data should be - but Execute App Automation is for Qlik Cloud only.
