Qlik Sense Triggers

Hi,

We can access triggers in QlikView under Document properties --> Triggers

How can we access (Document Event Triggers, Field Event Triggers and Variable Event Triggers) in Qlik Sense.

Do we need to add any extension in Qlik Sense ?

hi @varunamin2

im affraid you can't do it in the same way you do in qlikview

you can do something similar with Sheet Actions

also using the "always one selected value" option for fields

and variables

Hope this helps.

Hi @RafaelBarrios

Thank you for the info. But then how do I use OnInput / OnChange and OnSelect/OnChange actions for field and variable level triggers.

Thanks!

Hi @varunamin2

By default, for fields you just can't

I don't usually suggest them but you can always go for extensions and here is one that could help you

for variables you can use variable input object

Hope this helps.

Hi @RafaelBarrios

Thank you for providing the extension link. But even after using the extension, it does not seem to have the OnInput and OnChange Edit actions like we used to have in QlikView.

How can I achieve those changes?

Hi @varunamin2

sorry I didn’t come back to you before.

I really don't see any other option.

on the other hand, understanding exactly where you're at, my suggestion is generally not to try to do the same thing we did in qlikview, it's a different product with a different approach

best,

Hi @RafaelBarrios ,

I think the macro you suggested would just work fine. Thanks!
