Can we trigger a Tabular Reporting (Report task) from a button in UI via Qlik Application Automation

SoumavaSanki1996 — Fri, 25 Jul 2025 09:40:42 GMT

We can schedule Tabular Reporting for Day/Week/Month/Year or on reload of the app.

Can we also trigger the report task created in the Reporting section via a button (action) or via Application Automation (which can be triggered via a action-button?)

If possible can you please share the detailed steps.

Thanks in advance.

Yes, this is possible, and there are two distinct ways to trigger a Tabular Reporting task from a button in the UI via Qlik Application Automation:

Using "On-Demand Reporting":
You can enable the On-demand option when configuring your tabular report. This allows you to trigger the report manually from the Qlik app UI. More details here:
👉Reports on demand – Qlik Help
Using a Button + Automation:
Alternatively, you can use a button in the app to trigger a Qlik Application Automation workflow. Inside that automation, you can use the "Get tabular report" block to run the desired report task programmatically.

Enjoy your Qlik.

Kind regards,

Thank you @theoat

1. I have enabled the On demand option when configuring the tabular report. Can you please help how we can trigger tabular report task manually from the Qlik app UI using a button.
2. I tried using the second option you have mentioned. The below Automation is getting triggered from button that I have created in UI but it is not triggering the tabular reporting task which contains the Pixel perfect Template attached. Consequently, the intended reporting task is not being executed.
