action to refresh (ctrl+f5 ) document

alec1982 — Fri, 14 Aug 2015 16:04:41 GMT

Hi all,

Is there a way to set up action to refresh a document once the user tries to open it.

I have a google map extension and the pins dont show up on the map until I hit ctrl+f5 so I am wondering if I can set an action to perform ctrl f5 once the user tries to access the tab where the map is located..

Best,

Alec

Oh you mean reload the tab/sheet not the whole document?

AFAIK No.

A workaround (more like a kludge) may be possible if you know your way around JavaScript.

using ctrl+f5 I reload the whole document which is what we need.

Thanks for your quick reply.

Not following, can you give me more details.

QlikView triggers/actions cannot send keystrokes by themselves, certainly not in the AccessPoint where UI manipulations are not available.

Since both the QlikView tab code and the extension are written in JavaScript, you may be able to hook into that code and add a few magical tricks that force a non-cache refresh of the current page upon first display.

I just updated the question.. to clear things out. I dont need to reload the document to get new data.. I just want to refresh the page so google map respond and show the pins...
