Hello

I got a document in which I put triggers on document to open to select some fields for specific values

if I open the document from QlikView designer these triggers are working just well

however after I created a task that reduces and distributes the document if I open one of the distributed documents the triggers are not running at all

please advise

Hi,

On a Server environment, the OnOpen trigger shouldn't work by design (it's not a flaw and it's documented). Check the Reference Manual, section 29.3 Macro trigger limitations. However, those actions are likely to work if you use them in a button, or when activating a sheet.

Hope that helps.

Yes but if you choose in the access point page from the combo box labeled "My Preferred Client" the option IE Plug In the onOPen event will work just fine

Hi Ali,

There are controls that work only in the OCX/IE Plugin, and not only triggers, but for example, macros, MsgBoxes/InputBoxes or zooming, that is not allowed in the Ajax Zfc client. Check the Reference Manual and the Server Reference Manual for further information on the subject.

good!

but can you please explain to me what is the difference between IE Plugin and Ajax footprint?

so if the client asks me what is the difference, what can I tell him?

Hi Ali,

Check this thread on the subject. Roughly speaking, the Plugin is basically the Desktop with some features (such as script editor, or helps) removed. Hence the display is WYSIWYG and the interaction is the same than the Desktop software. Ajax needs to be processed by the Web Server, and hence the display is not so similar, and some features are missing.

Plugin needs installation, Ajax does not. Plugin only works with IE, Ajax works with all browsers that support Ajax (including tables and mobile devices).

Where is the advantage of using one or another? It will largely depend on your end users, your network, systems configuration and so.

Hope that makes sense.
