Real time KPIs without refreshing app

Hi Qlik Community

Is there a way to display real time data in a Qlik Sense app?
I just need to display a number of KPIs on a single sheet. I need a solution where I do not need to update the app all the time manually by refreshing the page. 

Any help is appreciated.

If you schedule an application to reload on a short schedule users do not have to refresh their browser page to see the new results when the reload completes. Now the question becomes how quickly can you reload your data.

 

If you are doing the default full reload then the size and speed of the load script is very important and you will only be able to udate the data as fast as that script runs.

 

You can also do a "Partial" reload where you do not drop and replace all the data but rather you can append and process changes to your data. this is not necessarily a simple operation but you can increase your speed this way.

 

We'd have to do some analysis of your data and the data model in your qlik app to see how much we can increase the speed but we'd have to get into specifics of your data.

 

Best of luck

This did the trick. We set the app to reload whenever it has finished and that does provides me with the functionality that I need.
