How To Create Custom Scheduled Triggers in Qlik Sense

Andrew_Delaney — Wed, 03 Aug 2022 10:18:04 GMT

The February 2022 release of Qlik Sense for Windows added a new feature to create more complex custom scheduled tasks, so you can for example have an app that reloads very frequently but only during work hours.

To access this new feature:

Open the Qlik Sense Management Console
Navigate and open Tasks
Create a new Scheduled Trigger

Create a new scheduled trigger under actions
In this new trigger, select Custom

Select Custom in the schedule options
Review Qlik Help (Reload tasks - custom option) on how to set a custom schedule

An example of a schedule that reloads every 15 minutes, from 7 am to 5 pm on weekdays is:

Custom increment: 15 0 0 0

This will trigger 15 minutes after the previous trigger

Custom filter: * 7-17 - 1-5 * * * *

Please note that because custom schedules are not very human-readable it is very important to use a descriptive name for the trigger, one that matches your intended schedule, so for this example, I would name this trigger:

Every 15 minutes, from 7 am to 5 pm on weekdays.
