Yes, there is an action (on button) , select add -> external -> reload

this is possible only in your document not in access point or web view

It is not possible directly, you can use some trick launching an external batch (find examples in the community)

QlikView is designed not to allow reloads using the web client. The reason is simply that a QlikView server is a multi-user system where the reload of one user can disrupt the analysis made by another user.

But if you program your own extension, and trigger a reload using EDX, you can still do it.

Probably the best way is to set up your load cycle in such a way that it looks for new data.

You can do this by layering your QVWs into QVD Builders and Dashboard. (the dashboard only refreshs if new data is found and that commnd to reload is also in the QVD builder so no new Data = no Dashboard reload).

Then in QMC there's a setting associated to the Dasboard QVW which specifies how new data is presented to the user (if the dashboard they're using / chached is behind the one on the server). Automatically or They need to update

Access point portals have an update button for use by users when the dashboard isn't automatically updated.
