Create dashbord that cycles between graphs

Mon, 08 Nov 2010 10:37:26 GMT

Hi,

Im trying to create a dashboard that will be shown on a projector. I have two sets of graphs that i cycle through with a showcondition.

odd(left(right(now(),2),1))

This works excellent on QV-developer but not at all when i open the application through the server. Apparently the now() function does not update if no selections is made. How can i make my application switch between the graphs?

Thanks!

Guess that you have a different date/time-setting on your server. You probably wish to toggle each 10 seconds? So then, why not using the SECOND-function instead the LEFT-RIGHT combination, which is meant to work within strings.
Thus give it a try with

ODD(FLOOR(SECOND(NOW(1))/10)

I dont think thats the problem. I added a textfield with now() but that wont update unless i do a selection..

hmm - QV 8.5 definitely behaved in this way,
if you insert a server-object, it will run....
