Timeout Clears Filters

When a user's session times out and they refresh the page to resume their session, all their filters have been cleared.  That part of the problem is only an inconvenience... the rest of the issue is that if they had a report prior to the timeout that returns very large number of rows when unfiltered, the report remains open after the refresh but since the filters have been cleared, we begin to have some performance issues because it's showing all the possible data.

Can anyone help me figure out how to retain the filters upon refresh (ideal solution), or if that isn't possible, maybe cause the report to close as well on refresh since all the filters are cleared, so the user just starts fresh?

Thanks!

Is the option Session Recovery enabled? See this post: http://community.qlik.com/message/239242#239242

Hi:

Besides of having Session Recovery enabled you should enable Calculation Condition in your large tables. Imagine a user Qliks on Clear All with that table open. Since it can be millions of records on it, it'll froze the machine.

In charts, in the General tab, you can find the Calculation Condition. Set it up like count(Distinct Business Unit)<=1 or

count( distinct RecordNumber)<=1000. By doing that you'll save frozen times developing and using it.

You can set up error messages too, like: Please select a Business Unit only.

Salutes.

Thanks.  I am planning to add Calculation Condition in some areas where it's appropriate.  I was hoping to avoid the users losing all their filtering on timeout also if possible.
