Create a "button" (it's a chart type) and set the action to "Reload data".

There doesn't seem to be a reload action to "Reload data" in the version you're using.

Is there any other way?

please reply if possible
thank you!

Searching the forum, it seems only Professional license users can reload apps using front-end buttons. I also saw something about that only the app owner can create a reload button. Here is a thread that might be helpful for you: https://community.qlik.com/t5/Suggest-an-Idea/Availability-for-the-reload-data-action-button-object-not-only/idi-p/1795544

I have a license
Is the Professional license a different license?
I seem to have all the permissions for the app.

How can I make a button?
Please reply if possible.

The reload data button is missing for me.
QlikSense version: 13.102.5

Is there any other way to create a reload data button other than this way?
Please reply if possible.

It seems that in your Qlik Sense version, November 2020, there is no reload data action for buttons: https://help.qlik.com/en-US/sense/November2020/Subsystems/Hub/Content/Sense_Hub/Visualizations/Button/button.htm

One option is to upgrade your Qlik Sense environment. Another option is possibly to build, or find, an extension that can do it. I googled and found this rather old extension. Maybe it works, maybe it doesn't - I haven't tried it. https://developer.qlik.com/garden/56728f52d1e497241ae69836

Otherwise you may want to consider if you can set a reload schedule that could suit your needs.

I haven't tried those methods myself so unfortunately I don't know how they work.

Hi @qwebnm

As you are running on-premise your options are very much limited. There are a number of options on SaaS, but these are not available to you.

As mentioned by @henrikalmen an upgrade would be a very good idea.

The other option available to you is to hack the extension you have. If you open the extension zip file you will find that the contents are all plain text files. You can find where the word "Reload" appears and replace it with whatever text you need. If you know a little CSS you will also be able to modify the styling of the button.

Once done, just zip everything back up and re-upload the extension to your server.

Good luck!
