Using end-user input values to compute end-results in QV browser

[#1]

Hi guys,

I have an issue in hand. A client wants to input their own exchange rate into the QV app via browser and they would want it to not be saved into our server and discarded once the browser is closed.

Is it possible to do so?

I'm thinking along the lines of the following:

* An input variable created so that the client could punch in their own exchange rate data.

* Once the data is entered, the browser would refresh using the variable inputed to compute the end-result (if-statement perhaps?).

* In the script, write a set of codes that would discard the data or not save the data at all.

Any sort of help or insight is much appreciated. Many thanks!

Best Regards,

Ram

Dear Ram,

     Your approach is the right one. Take the variable, ask user to enter value and use the variable in your chart calculation to change the values once variable has value.

     And you dont need to do anything extra to discard the values. What so ever you do on browser doesnt effect the original file on server.

Dear Kaushik Solanki,

Thanks for your reply.

I was wondering in regards to the exchange rates which is inputted by the end-user, wouldn't it be stored and saved in our server?

Also, the amount of data being manipulated is very large. Wouldn't this use a lot of our servers' computing resources?

Much appreciated.

Hi,

     Thats true. If you use the variable in calculation then it will take more resources to calculate the values.

     So every time a variable value is changed it will compute the values.

     No nothing will be stored in backend from browser.

Hi,

Will it be possible or appropriate to use the INPUTFIELD function to get this job done?

As the client has requested to be able to input exchange rate values to a few currencies.

The sales data that will be provided to them are in their own countries' currency.

Also, how will I be able to use this INPUTFIELD function?

Thanks heaps!

Best Regards,

Ram
