Input Variable extension should keep entered value after refresh

rohit_shoppertr — Wed, 25 Nov 2020 15:02:35 GMT

This idea is reference of ticket id 01951903 - INPUT VARIABLE EXTENSION RESET TO BLANK OR EMPTY OR DEFAULT VALUE OF VARIABLE AFTER REFRESH.

We have an extension which refresh every minute. We have used input variable extension on one sheet where client enter value(integer) then charts get filtered according the set analysis written on variable attached to input variable extension.

Problem here is let say current time is 12:01:01(hh:mm:ss) and client entered a value suppose 1 into variable extension when app reloads at 12:02:00 the entered value vanishes after refresh and this annoys client because he needs to reenter the value.

Idea or suggestion here is, variable extension should keep value after refresh of app until session expires or user clear the selections.

Thank you for your feedback on ways to improve our product. Since you are using an 3rd party extension for triggering a refresh it's difficult to keep any state in any object.

Thanks,

Patric

Hi Patric,

First of all, This is not third party extension, its one of the object in Qlik visualization bundle. Secondly, We are requesting to keep the entered value after refresh of app. Reentering entered value after refresh makes client annoy and reduce the user interaction.

Thanks,

Rohit

@rohitk1609 thanks, I was referring to the extension you use to refresh the page every minute.

The variable input keeps the value for less intrusive refresh such as selection change, perhaps the your extension can be rewritten to send such an update instead.

Thanks,

Patric

I am not using an extension to refresh the page every minute. I am schedule the task in QMC for each minute.

What I am requesting in Qlik Sense in possible in Qlik View where variable input keeps value after refresh.

We are looking for same feature here. I locked the ticket for the same. Qlik support suggested me to raise the concern here.

Currently the user selection state and user soft properties such as column width is saved during reload, we are looking into whether we can keep user variable state as well. As of now the the variables are reset to the saved value in the app at reload.

Thanks,

Patric

Hi @Patric_Nordstrom ,

Is there any update on this. We are using variable input on the dashboard to control few variables. There are task which reloads every 5 minutes to refresh the data. Every time the refresh happens the variable value is defaulted, Which is annoying for the end user especially when they are analyzing in the full screen. Please let me know if there are any alternates or work around for this behavior

Hi, the same functionality would be very useful for us.

Currently I am changing some of the user-facing variables to field values, so that the selected value can survive a reload. This is specifically critical for the apps that reload every few minutes.

See

https://community.qlik.com/t5/App-Development/Reset-variables-on-qlik-sense-reload/td-p/1952961

The functionality exists in Qlikview :
mark this variable for inclusion in bookmarks and it will survive reloads. (Settings > Document properties > Variables > Settings for Selected Variable > Include in Bookmarks)

I propose that in Qlik Sense this property should be added in the definition of variables

AND in extension "Variable Input"
