Webview, reload button

I made this reload button (extra doubled service) , but it does not work in the WebView mode, so is there any workaround for this?

The documentation says that reload doesn't work for published documents

Hope it helps

You can use an EDX trigger or a simple flag file to initiate reload. What exactly are you trying to achieve? Reload from the access point?

Hey Mikael,

Just curious. Is there any reason why you want to do a reload after its published on the access point. If you set it up on the publisher to reload daily then everyday the data on the access point would be updated automatically.

Thanks

Allowing the user to perform reload can prove useful in various situations for example while budgeting.

Hey Ioannia,

Do you mind elaborating a little bit, I am not able to wrap my head around why it again needs to be reloaded.

For example if you wanna manipulate data to do some analysis like 'What-If', we just usually create some input boxes and achieve those.

It would help me understand better if you could give an example.

Thanks

Oh, sorry I did not explain. I am using the PE desktop version, and the only reason that I am forced to use Webview mode is because of GeoQlik, it destroys my design 😕

I do a lot of testing changing my data all the time.

It is not huge problem, as I can just use the traditional toolbutton, but I would like to know whether it can be done. Further more the print button is out too.

Hi Ajay.

budgeting can be based on weeks and months, on customer, on channel etc. There are so many combinations, that input boxes will definitely not server the purpose. So one simple approach would be, having an excel spreadsheet to input budget and reload the QV application frequently to analyze the budget.

Wow didn't know something like this was needed/possible. Thanks for taking the time to explain.

I haven't finished my search yet, so by any chance, has this been solved?

Indeed, the WebView is to be able to allow polygones to be drawn.

What about using a batch file?

I'm going to test that. thanks for the hint.

Edit: Small clarification, I don't have a server environment. I use a desktop version

I am having difficulties in this arena too. I've launched a separate question on how to

Create a batch that reloads the document, and then use for example Windows Scheduler to run the reloads and or you can reload it on demand.

Hej Ako,

thanks for the answer. Can you elaborate on the "reload it on demand" bit?

I need to be able to reload the document, following criteria selection -> scenario simulation

You can run the batch manually when ever you like to reload the document...

Or have it scheduled.

Thanks, would you make a must_include? How would the batch code look like?
