single control model containing buttons to reload other models

Dipti123 — Wed, 29 Oct 2025 09:10:14 GMT

They expected that reloading the main model would automatically include the filters, without needing two separate uploads.
Their idea was to have a single control model containing buttons to reload other models (e.g., ReportBuilder, Ordinato, Fatturato), so that a user in Krino can reload any model manually when needed — without using triggers or automation.

Now, I’m trying to understand the best and most practical way to implement this in Qlik Sense —
➡️ Is it possible to trigger the reload of other apps using buttons inside a Qlik Sense app (via REST API or another method)?
➡️ Or is there a simpler alternative that fits this requirement better?

Any suggestions or best practices would be really helpful.

Thanks in advance!

Qlik Cloud:
Use Qlik Application Automation — create an automation that reloads the target app and trigger it via a webhook URL linked to a button inside your Qlik app.

Qlik Sense Enterprise (on-prem / SaaS):
Use the QRS REST API — call the "/ qrs / app / {appId} /reload" endpoint from a REST connection or custom extension to trigger another app’s reload.

add a button and use an "Open URL" action that points to this webhook.

Example:

"https://<region>.qlikcloud.com/api/v1/automations/<automation-id>/run"

This way, pressing the button in App A calls the webhook → triggers reload of App B.

Im working with Qlik sense enterprise on button qlik i can reload the app with custom extenin but it wokrs fro Admin only not for anlayzer user or user other than ADMin
How to proceed with this

define(['jquery'], function ($) {
'use strict';

// 🔹 Qlik Sense server URL (replace with your own)
const serverUrl = "https://your-qlik-server";

// 🔹 App names and IDs (replace * with actual IDs)
const apps = {
"Reload ReportBuilder": "********-****-****-****-************",
"Reload Ordinato": "********-****-****-****-************",
"Reload Fatturato": "********-****-****-****-************",
"Reload Acquisti": "********-****-****-****-************"
};

// 🔸 Generate random XRF key
function genXrfKey() {
const chars = '';
let k = '';
for (let i = 0; i < 16; i++) {
k += chars[Math.floor(Math.random() * chars.length)];
}
return k;
}

// 🔹 Trigger a reload task
function triggerReload(appLabel, $btn) {
const appId = apps[appLabel];
const xrfkey = genXrfKey();
const url = `${serverUrl}/qrs/app/${appId}/reload?xrfkey=${xrfkey}`;

const originalText = $btn.text();
$btn.prop('disabled', true).text('Ricarico in corso...');

$.ajax({
url: url,
type: 'POST',
headers: {
'X-Qlik-Xrfkey': xrfkey,
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
'Accept': 'application/json'
},
xhrFields: { withCredentials: true },
success: function () {
alert(`⚙️ ${appLabel} — il ricarico è stato avviato correttamente.`);
checkReloadStatus(appId, xrfkey, appLabel);
},
error: function (xhr) {
alert(`❌ Impossibile avviare il ricarico: ${xhr.status} ${xhr.statusText}`);
console.error(xhr.responseText);
},
complete: function () {
$btn.prop('disabled', false).text(originalText);
}
});
}

// 🔹 Check reload status every 5 seconds
function checkReloadStatus(appId, xrfkey, appLabel) {
const taskUrl = `${serverUrl}/qrs/reloadtask?filter=app.id eq ${appId}&xrfkey=${xrfkey}`;

const interval = setInterval(() => {
$.ajax({
url: taskUrl,
type: 'GET',
headers: {
'X-Qlik-Xrfkey': xrfkey,
'Accept': 'application/json'
},
xhrFields: { withCredentials: true },
success: function (tasks) {
if (tasks && tasks.length > 0) {
const task = tasks[0];
const result = task.operational.lastExecutionResult;

if (result && result.status === 7) { // ✅ Success
clearInterval(interval);
alert(`✅ ${appLabel} — Ricarico terminato con successo.`);
} else if (result && result.status === 😎 { // ❌ Failed
clearInterval(interval);
alert(`❌ ${appLabel} — Il ricarico non è riuscito. Controllare i log nel QMC.`);
}
}
},
error: function (err) {
console.error('Errore nel controllo dello stato del ricarico:', err);
clearInterval(interval);
}
});
}, 5000);
}

// 🔹 Paint buttons
return {
paint: function ($element) {
$element.empty();
const $container = $('<div class="reload-grid"></div>');

Object.keys(apps).forEach(function (label) {
const $b = $('<button class="reload-btn"></button>')
.text(label)
.css({
margin: '30px',
padding: '6px 12px',
border: '1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204)',
'border-radius': '4px',
cursor: 'pointer',
'background-color': 'rgb(31, 133, 179)',
color: 'white',
'font-weight': '500'
})
.on('mouseenter', function () {
$(this).css('background-color', 'rgb(23, 110, 150)');
})
.on('mouseleave', function () {
$(this).css('background-color', 'rgb(31, 133, 179)');
})
.on('click', function () {
triggerReload(label, $b);
});

$container.append($b);
});

$element.append($container);
}
};
});

can you please hlep me how QRS APi or Reload APp works for other users than admin ?
