I want to empty an App in Qlik Sense

ihusby — Wed, 22 Feb 2023 12:33:12 GMT

We have an app with data that is loaded 'On Demand' by using a button.

When the user has seen and used the data in the App, I would like to be able to empty the app.
Either automaticly after a day or two, or that the user uses another button to empty the app.

The button actions I have found so far is not deleting the content in an app.

The ODAG mechanism has an option to automatically delete the generated app after a set number of hours/days.

Thank you Or
We have not been using this on Demand App mechanism so far. The user qliks a button and the report is updated.
Do you know any other solutoions to the issue ?

Ideally, I would suggest using the native ODAG functionality for on-demand apps rather than getting create with other solutions, considering this is exactly what it's meant for...

Otherwise, you could schedule a reload for this app and use some if statements, for example, set a daily reload for this app at 4:00am (or whatever hour when people are not going to be using it) and then have code that reads

If Hour(Now()) = 4 THEN Exit Script

If you wanted to get more creative, you could compare the last reload time to the current time and decide based on that, or whatever other solution you want to use.
