Which browser has been used ?

Hello,

We have users connecting to our Qlikview Server (Ajax) via IE8 and we want to tell them to use Firefox.

We have customized the accesspoint to tell people to stop using IE8 but some of them are still doing that mistake.

Is it possible to know which browser has been used

- in Qlikview with functions

- in the logs ?

(please note we are using Qlikview Web Server)

Thanks

Hi,

If you look in the session log it will show you. See attached QVW.

Maybe you could also add a conditional message within the application that only shows when this condition is met:

=ClientPlatform() like '*msie*'

hope this helps

regards

Yes, there are several addition way to write the script. What I did was quick and dirty to show that it can be done.
